Summary

This study is designed to see if abdominal ultrasound after planned cesarean delivery can identify women with ongoing intra-abdominal bleeding.

Conditions

  • Postpartum Hemorrhage
  • Postsurgical Bleeding
  • Abdominal Ultrasound
  • FAST Scan
  • Non-invasive Hemoglobin Measurement

Interventions

DEVICE

FAST scan and non-invasive hemoglobin measurement

A "FAST scan", or abdominal ultrasound will be performed within one hour of cesarean delivery to establish normal levels of postoperative intraabdominal fluid. Women will also have their hemoglobin measured via a non-invasive method, the Masimo Pronto 7, at 3 time points: immediately prior to surgery (within 2 hours), immediately after surgery (within 1 hour), and the morning following surgery (within 24 hours).
