By reviewing the patient′s pregnancy and the treatment process, summarizing experience, strengthening clinicians′ cognition of such diseases and familiarity with related diagnosis and treatment plans, we can early identify rupture of uterine and timely perform operation, in order to reduce the possibility of emergency and critical conditions for patients.
