A pregnant lady has delivered a baby 35 minutes back. However, placenta has not been delivered. What should be the next line of management.
Correct Answer: Manual removal of placenta
Description: Ans. is 'b' i.e., Manual removal of placentaManual Extraction:If the placenta has not delivered after 30 minutes, or if separation has occurred, without delivery of the placenta, manual removal may be performed to reduce excessive blood loss.

Intrauterine bacterial contamination is a theoretical risk of manual extraction, but is not a common complication.
