Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Placenta accreta occurs when the placenta attaches too deeply into the uterine wall, making it difficult to separate during delivery. In severe cases, a hysterectomy may be necessary to prevent life-threatening hemorrhage. Oxygen, antibiotics, and oxytocin may be used in the postpartum period for various other reasons, but are not specific to placenta accreta.
