THERAPEUTIC CLASS
Traumatic Abruptio Placenta Scale (TAPS): a proposed grading system of computed tomography evaluation of placental abruption in the trauma patient
Placental abruption (PA) is one of the worst possible manifestations of injury in the pregnant trauma patient with ultrasound as the current initial imaging examination of choice, despite its known limitations in placental evaluation. Pregnant patients who undergo computed tomography (CT) for evaluation of potential maternal injuries provide an additional source
of imaging for placental evaluation; however, few studies have delineated normal and abnormal placental appearance, therefore resulting in insufficient placental assessments on pregnant
trauma patients
