Introduction: The premature detachment of a placenta that is normally attached to the wall of the uterus, which can cause complications in the development of the pregnancy and the health of the mother and fetus. It occurs before the birth of the fetus. This phenomenon can become evident in situations where there is an episode of bleeding. The vaginal area may be hidden when the place where the detachment has occurred is behind the placenta. Placental abruption can occur partially, meaning that only part of it is affected, or it can also be absolute and have an impact that encompasses the entire placenta. Clinical case: Patient who goes to the emergency room after a traffic accident. Age 35, chronic hypertension, smoker, and 38 weeks' gestation, a diagnosis of placental abruption (PA) is made, characterized by the classic triad: genital bleeding, abdominal pain and uterine hypertonia.
Keywords: placental abruption, hemorrhage, mortality.
