[Verified Answer]: Your patient had a QBL of 1400 mL

Your patient had a QBL of 1400 mL. You communicate this to the provider and indicate she is experiencing a Stage 2 hemorrhage. The etiology seems to be continued uterine atony despite the use of fundal massage and uterotonic medications. Transfusion of 2 units of packed red blood cells has been initiated and the blood bank is thawing 2 units of fresh frozen plasma. The team is discussing the interventions that have been initiated thus far. What intervention would you suggest that has not yet been initiated? Select an answer. Place the patient in the Trendelenburg position to increase cardiac return. Move the patient to the OR to prepare for an urgent hysterectomy. Wait for any vital sign changes to occur before adding other interventions. Consider the placement of an intrauterine tamponade balloon or vacuum-induced device.
