Legal Nurse PodcastThe Role of Legal Nurses in Placenta Accreta CasesToday’s podcast, The Role of Legal Nurses in Placenta Accreta Cases, discusses a serious condition called placenta accreta. When this occurs, the placenta attaches to the uterus, causing major difficulties in the delivery of the infant. Nurse specialist Katie Roberts goes into depth about this medical condition.
While the condition is rare, it’s on the rise. Katie explains that cesarian sections and placenta previa are some of the risks for placenta accreta. Another risk factor is a pregnancy in which there have been no ultrasounds and sometimes no medical supervision at all. This prevents the obstetrician from preparing safel...2024-11-2000 min
