12. OB Flashcards
Menstrual Age:
Embryologic Age + 14 days
Embryo:
0-10 weeks (menstrual age)
Fetus:
> 10 weeks (Menstrual age)
Bleeding with closed cervix
Threatened abortion
Cervical dilation and/or placental and/or fetal tissue hanging out
Inevitable abortion
Residual products in the uterus
Incomplete abortion
All products out
Complete abortion
Fetus is dead, but still in the uterus.
Missed abortion
This is the early gestational sac.
Intradecidual sign
Intradecidual sign
You want to see the thin echogenic line o f the uterine cavity pass by (not stop at) the sac to avoid calling a little bit o f fluid in the canal a sac
You can see the early gestational sac around =
4.5 weeks
Double Decidual Sac sign
This is another positive sign of early pregnancy.
This is the first structure visible within the GS.
Yolk Sac
You should always see the Yolk sac when the GS measures =
8 mm
Yolk Sac
Should be oval or round, fluid filled, and smaller than 6 mm.
Where is the yolk sac located?
Chorionic Cavity and hooked up to the umbilicus by the vitelline duct
Normal Appearance of the Yolk Sac
Should NOT be:
Too big (> 6mm)
Too small (< 3 mm)
Solid
Calcified
The membranes of the amniotic sac and chorionic space
typically remain separated by a thin layer of fluid around
14-16 weeks at which point fusion is normal.
Amniotic Band Syndrome
If the amnion gets disrupted before 10 weeks = fetus might cross into the chorionic cavity = get tangled up in the fibrous bands
Double Bleb Sign
“Two fluid filled sacs (Yolk and Amniotic) with the flat embryo in the middle
This is the earliest visualization of the embryo
This is typically used to estimate gestational age, and is more accurate than menstrual history.
Crown Rump Length
Embryo is normally visible at =
6 weeks
A gestational sac without an embryo. When you see this, the choices are:
a. Very Early Pregnancy
b. Non-viable Pregnancy
You should see yolk sac on TVS at ___mm.
8 mm
Large sac (>8-10mm) + Distorted contour + NO yolk sac =
Non-VIable pregnancy
Pseudogestational Sac
“blood in the uterine cavity with surrounding bright decidual endometrium (charged up from the pregnancy hormones)”
small subchorionic hemorrhage that occurs at the attachment o f the chorion to the endometrium.
Implatation Bleeding
Fetal demise in subchorionic hemorhage is strongly associated with?
% of placental detachment
Crown-rump length of >7 mm and no heartbeat
Pregnancy Failure
Mean sac diameter o f >25 mm and no embryo
Pregnancy Failure
No embryo with heartbeat > 2 wks after a scan that showed a Gestational saca withouth yolk sac
Pregnancy Failure
No embryo with heartbeat >11 days after a scan that showed a gestational sac with a yolk sac
Pregnancy Failure
No embryo >6 wk after last menstrual period
Suspicious for Pregnancy Failure
Mean sac diameter of 16-24 mm and no embryo
Suspicious for Pregnancy Failure
No embryo with heartbeat 13 days after a scan that showed a gestational sac without a yolk sac
Suspicious for Pregnancy Failure
No embryo with heartbeat 10 days after a scan that showed a gestational sac with a yolk sac
Suspicious for Pregnancy Failure
