2022 Qs Flashcards
Etiology of Hydranencephaly
ischemic stroke of both carotid arteries, progressive necrosis of areas affected by infarct
Reason to use VV ECMO?
ARDS
Reason to use VA ECMO?
Cardiogenic Shock, PE with RV failure
Isotrentinoin fetal effects
CNS malformations, microtia or anotia, micrognathia, cleft palate, conotruncal cardiac and great vessel defects, thymic abnormalities, eye malformations, and intellectual disability
Time to wait before conceiving if on isoretinoin?
1 month
PEC patient with dyspnea, how do you explain symptoms?
low colloid oncotic pressure causing leading to pulmonary edema
which respiratory parameter changes the most?
50% increase in TV
What leads to increase plasma volume in pregnancy
nitric oxide–mediated vasodilation, which induces the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and stimulates sodium and water retention
What pregnancy adaptation leads to shorter half life for medications?
increased renal clearance (GFR)
US findings toxo
Ventriculomegaly, intracranial calcifications, microcephaly, hepatomegaly, liver calcifications, placentomegaly, growth restriction, or ascites
US findings zika
microcephaly, cerebral calcifications, ventriculomegaly, fetal growth restriction, arthrogryposis
Most common cause of ARDS in pregnancy
Viral infection/pneumonia
Diagnose NAIT to predict risk in subsequent pregnancy?
1Maternal anti platelet antibodies, #2 parental and infant platelet antigen genotype
Hydropic fetus with Parvo IgM+, next step?
PUBS with IUT. By the time hydrops is present, HCT likely < 20%
What is the incidence of short cervix in pregnancy in patients with prior preterm birth?
About 30%
Nullip with CL 1.5 cm, next step?
Vaginal progesterone
US features of arcuate uterus?
serosal indentation/ Arcuate distance <1cm angle >90 degrees
US features of bicornuate uterus
serosal indentation of >1cm
Decrease the risk of loss of pregnancy with triplet with monochorionic pair?
KCL of both MONO chorionic pair. NEXT best? KCL the singleton
Monochorionic twins, demise of one twin at 26 weeks, next step?
expectant management until 34 weeks
Unstable patient after CPR with ROSC, vaginal bleeding, next step to direct management?
echo (more accurate at measuring pulmonary pressures than PAC! both are estimates)
how does perimortem cesarean improve maternal suvivability
Decrease compression of the IVC which improves venous return *
Most effective opioid for patient controlled analgesia in labor
Remifentanil
What monitoring necessary for a patient with remifentanil administration
Continuous oxygen saturation monitoring (may cause respiratory depression)
Above what level are patients at risk of autonomic dysreflexia?
T6
