Following placental abruption, which compensation mechanism increases maternal heart rate?

💡 Explanation

Placental abruption causes rapid blood loss, triggering the baroreceptor arterial pressure reflex that increases heart rate to maintain blood pressure; therefore, the reflex response supports circulation rather than ADH increase, erythropoietin changes, or ventilation modulation.
