Abstract
A case report is described in which the inadvertent placement of a standard intrauterine pressure catheter in a laboring woman caused partial abruptio placentae and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Altering catheter pl acement technique and giving attention to aspects of placement can help avo id mishaps, and awareness of possible complications can lead to earlier dia gnosis with increased appropriate intervention.
