AB  - Obstetric  and  gynecological  issues  are  a  common  reason  for  patients  to  seek  urgent  and  emergent  care.  The  most  significant  of  these  for  the  prehospital  provider  involve  some  component  of  vaginal  bleeding.  When  assessing  the  patient  with  vaginal  bleeding,  determining  certain  key  factors  are  important  such  as  duration  of  bleeding  as  well  as  quantity.  Oftentimes,  significant  or  brisk  vaginal  bleeding  is  defined  by  the  patient  changing  one  or  more  pads  per  hour.  A  family  or  personal  history  of  a  bleeding  disorder  may  also  provide  key  information  as  to  the  etiology  of  the  bleed.  Associated  symptoms  such  as  weakness,  lightheadedness,  and  shortness  of  breath  should  be  noted.
