Q

This is the vocabulary used when neither a normal lUP or ectopic pregnancy is identified in the setting of a positive b-hCG.

A

Pregnancy of Unknown Location

37
Q

Tubal Surgery
Endometriosis
Ovulation Induction
Previous Ectopic
Use of an lUD.

41
Q

The majority of ectopic pregnancies (nearly 95%) occur in

A

Fallopian Tube (AMPULLA)

2% are interstitial = portion of the tube which passes through the uterine wall

42
Q

Interstitial ectopic implantation risk

A

Rupture = hemorrhage

43
Q

Always start down the ectopic pathway with =

A

(+) BhCG - 1500-2000 mIU/L - you should see a gestational sac

44
Q

BhCG at around 5000 mIU/L, you should see =

A

A yolk sac

45
Q

General rule about BhCG in ectopic pregnancy

A

Normal doubling time = ectopic less likely

46
Q
A

Tubal Ring Sign - 95% specific

“An echogenic ring, which surrounds an un-ruptured ectopic
pregnancy”

This is an excellent sign of ectopic pregnancy

47
Q

Live Pregnancy / Yolk Sac outside the uterus =

A

Slamt dunk! ==== ECTOPIC!

48
Q

Nothing in the uterus + anything on the adnexa (other than corpus luteum) =

A

75%-85% for ectopic

if + moderate volume of free fluid = 87% positive

49
Q

Nothing in the uterus + moderate free fluid =

A

70% PPV

More risk if the fluid is echogenic

50
Q

Where is BPD measured?

A

Recorded at the level of the thalamus from the outeiinost edge of the near skull to the inner table of the far skull

51
Q

Abdominal Circumference is recorded at =

A

the junction o f the umbilical vein and left portal vein

52
Q

Femur Length

A

Longest dimension of the femoral shaft

NOT included = epiphysis

53
Q

Age in the first trimester is made from

A

CRL

54
Q

Second and third trimester estimates for age are typically done using

A

BPD
HC
AC
FL

55
Q

Gestation Age accuracy

1st =

2nd =

3rd =

A

1st = CRL 0.5 weeks

2nd = 1.2 weeks (between 12-18)

3rd = 3.1 weeks (between 36 and 42)

56
Q

Readings Suggestive of iUGR:

A

Estimated Fetal Weights Below 10th percentile

Femur Length / Abdominal Circumference Ratio (F /AC) > 23.5

Umbilical Artery Systolic / Diastolic Ratio > 4.0

57
Q

Most common cause for developing oligohydramnios during the 3rd trimester

A

= Fetal Growth Restriction associated with Placental Insufficiency.

58
Q

IUGR + 3rd trimester = Normal head + small body + Mom with pre-eclampsia =

A

Asymmetric IUGR

59
Q

IUGR + throughout pregnancy = small overall (head not spared + poor prognosis =

A

Symmetric IUGR

60
Q

Causesof Symmetric IUGR

A

TORCH
Fetal alcohol syndrome
Drug abus
Chromososmal abnormalities
Anemia

61
Q

Where is MCA doppler done?

A

Proximal 1/3 of the vessel

62
Q

Normal fetal MCA

A

should be a high resistance waveform with continuous forward flow of diastole (the space between the waveform peaks).

63
Q

Abdnormal fetal MCA

A

When the fetal brain experiences hypoxia there is a reflex response to protect the brain. This “brain-sparing reflex” will manifest early on as an increase in diastolic flow (less resistance).

64
Q

This is a ratio of the pulsatility in the MCA and Umbilical Artery that is used to evaluate the brain sparing reflex and predict outcomes.

A

Cerebroplacental Ratio

Cerebroplacental Ratio: >1:1 is normal

65
Q

This thing was developed to look for acute and chronic hypoxia.

A

Biophysical profile

66
Q

Components of Biophysical Profile

A
  1. Amniotic fluid
  2. Fetal movement = 3 movements
  3. Fetal tone = 1 ext from flex
  4. Fetal breathing = 1 episode lasting 30 sec
  5. Non-stress test = 2 or more FHR accelerations at least 15 bpm for 30 sec or longer
67
Q

What component of Biophysical Profile is used to assess chronic hypoxia

A

Amniotic fluid

68
Q

Macrosomia causes

A

Maternal DM

69
Q

Complications of Macrosomia during delivery

A

Brachial plexus injury
Neonatal hypoglycemia
Meconium aspiration

70
Q

A

swallowing of the urine and renal function

75
Q

if you have too little amniotic fluid you should think

A

kidneys aren’t working

76
Q

If you have too much amniotic fluid you should think

A

swallow or other GI problems

77
Q

the most common cause of polyhydramios

A

A

Amniotic Fluid Index.

79
Q

A

5-20 cm

80
Q

A

IUGR related to placental insufficiency

82
Q

There should be less than __ mm of separation of the choroid plexus from the medial wall of the lateral ventricle.

A

Downs

“Echogenic foci in the ventricle”

86
Q

Bowel should be less than ___ mm in diameter

A

20x

89
Q

There are two main ways to show a two vessel cord

A

The first one is a single vessel running lateral to the bladder down by the cord insertion

The second is to show the cord in cross section with two vessels.

90
Q
A

Normal Cystic Rhombencephalon (6-8 weeks)

cystic structure in the posterior fossa around 6-8 weeks

D on’t call it a Dandy-Walker malformation, for sure that will be a distractor.
Welcome to your nightmare, bitch! j

91
Q
A

The midgut normally herniates into the umbilical cord around 9-11 weeks
