Don’t Throw Out Your Best Defense

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]A healthy placenta is the single most important factor in producing a healthy baby. The placenta, which is in fact part of the fetus, is critical for all aspects of pregnancy from implantation to delivery. The placenta is dedicated to the survival of the fetus. Even when exposed to a poor maternal environment—for example when the mother is malnourished, diseased, smokes or takes cocaine—the placenta can often compensate by becoming more efficient. Unfortunately, there are limits to the placenta’s ability to cope with external stresses. Eventually, if multiple or severe enough, these stresses can lead to placental damage, fetal damage and even intrauterine demise. A trained placental pathologist can examine a placenta and assist in the elucidation of the causes of a poor pregnancy outcome. A complete placental examination is most useful shortly after the time of delivery when the affected family is most in need of understanding what happened to their baby. If a full placental examination is not possible at the time of delivery because no placental pathologist is available, then the placenta can be transferred to a center that is prepared to make such an examination. As long as tissue blocks are saved from the placenta, a microscopic examination of the placenta is always possible at a later time if the need arises.

Your entire healthcare team will benefit from this session, so please be sure to tune in.

Objectives:

• Understand the development and basic structure of the placenta
• Appreciate, through clinical examples, how the placenta can reveal the cause of many cases of a poor pregnancy outcome
• Describe the consequences of intrauterine herpes infections, a small placenta and genetic defects in the placenta and fetus
