1. A continuous trickle of bright red blood w/o clots and firm uterus indicates what type of trauma in
PPH?:
Answer: Unrepaired lacerations

cervical, vaginal, or perineal lacerations that may be bleeding and require surgical repair.

may not be able to see the injury. It can be caused by forceps delivery. What is the condition?:

often disproportionate to findings on examination. They may expand rapidly and require surgical
intervention if large.
