Uterine rupture yesterday...

[USA987]

I've been on my own in L&D for almost a year now. Pt. had successfully VBAC'd a few yrs. ago. She was having mild UC's when she came in and was 3 cms so MD just broke her bag and put in an IUPC & IFE. Not on any pit. Baby started having some severe variables about 1 hr. after AROM. Amnioinfusion was started....300 cc's went in with good return. I had just placed a call to the MD because the IUPC didn't seem to be functioning correctly (we are trialing a new one...no one likes it). I walk back it and the patient is in unrelenting pain...abdomen is rock hard. I paged the MD. At 1st he brushed me off. I persisted. MD was there in 6 mins. and she was in the OR 4 mins. later.

I'm still shaking and feel sick to my stomach when I think about it. Mom and baby are doing awesome (I called work twice to check on them last night).

Great Job!
