etx for Gestational Transient Thyrotoxicosis (4)
- βhCG shares α subunit with TSH.
- during pregnancy, ⇪ [fetal βhCG] stimulates [Maternal Thyroid gland TSH receptors] ➜ [⇪ TOTAL Maternal T4 and T3] secretion
- In [Gestational Transient Thyrotoxicosis], [Multiple gestation or hyperemesis gravidarum] ➜ VERY high [fetal βhCG] ➜ [⇪ ⇪ ⇪ TOTAL Maternal T4 and T3]
- that resolves by 16WG
What is Asherman syndrome?
[Intrauterine adhesions and endometritis] from uterine instrumentation (D&C) ➜ [cyclic abd pain and secondary amenorrhea] immediately following instrumentation
Full term infant = 37- 42WG

Full term infant = 37- 42WG
Major causes of Antepartum Hemorrhage - 3
Antepartum = right before childbirth
- [Placental abruptioPAINFUL]
- [Placental previanonpainful]
- Vasa Previa

Full term infant = 37- 42WG
CP for Placental Abruptio - 4
Risk factors = HTN, cocaine, smoking, prior abruptio, abd trauma
- sudden PAINNNFFULLL antepartum vaginal bleeding (which can –> hypovolemic shock, [DIC-from decidual bleeding releasing tissue factor 7] and fetal demise) - (UNLESS CONCEALED = then no vag bleeding)
- Distended firm uterus
- abd AND/OR back pain
- [low intensity contractions]
etx: HTN of maternal decidual vessels –> rupture –> premature detachment of placenta from endometrium

pregnant patient 35 WG p/w Nonpainful vaginal bleeding
Next step is (⬜ Digital Cervical Exam | TVUS) and why?
TVUS

s/f Placenta PREVIA, in which digital Cervical Exam is contraindicated since it enters endocervical canal. TVUS and speculum do NOT enter endocervical canal

Placenta Previa
Full term infant = 37- 42WG
Of the 3 placental demise, which is a/w Nonpainful antepartum vaginal bleeding?
Placenta Previa

Recurrent UTI refers to (⬜2)

________________
Postcoital abx prophylaxis
(Bactrim, nitrofurantoin, cephalexin, cipro)
Full term infant = 37- 42WG
Amniotic Fluid Embolism tx
supportive
__________________________________
release of fetal amniotic fluid into maternal circulation (during labor or immediately postpartum) ➜ maternal massive inflammatory response that causes acute hypoxemia, hypotension, DIC
Full term infant = 37- 42WG
Amniotic Fluid Embolism etx
_________________
What are the 2 major risk factors for this?
release of fetal amniotic fluid into maternal circulation (during labor or immediately postpartum) ➜ maternal massive inflammatory response that causes acute
hypOxemia
[hypOtension 2/2 obstructive shock]
DIC
_________________
Placenta Previa and Placenta Abruptio
After the Rupture of Membranes, when is it safe for labor to begin?
[1 - 18 hours after ROM] (no sooner⼀no later)
________________
labor starting ≥18H after ROM ➜ chorioamnionitis ➜ neonatal sepsis
________________
Do not confuse this with PPROM (Preterm Premature Rupture Of Membrane)
Chorioamnionitis Tx = Abx –> Delivery
PPROM is defined as ⬜
How do you manage PPROM when it occurs ≥ 34WG? -3
= [Preterm Premature Rupture Of Membranes before 37 WG]
_________________
[(PCN with azithromycin) + Betamethasone] + DELIVERY
Complications = Chorioamnionitis/Endometritis/Cord Prolapse/Placenta Abruptio
Preterm Labor is defined as ⬜
How do you manage Preterm Labor when it occurs 34 to 36+6 WG ? -3
= [regular uterine ctx → cervical diLation before 37 WG]
_________________
[(PCN with azithromycin) + Betamethasone] + DELIVERY
- Complications = Chorioamnionitis/Endometritis/Cord Prolapse/Placenta Abruptio*
PPROM = Preterm Premature Rupture Of Membranes before 37 WG
Define Preterm Labor -2
{[regular uterine ctx that ➜ cervical diLation] < 37 WG}
Full term infant = 37- 42WG
PPROM = [Preterm Premature Rupture Of Membranes before 37 WG]
[Betamethasone antenatal CTS] is given to pregnant patients with [Preterm labor/PPROM/Severe Preeclampsia] before 37 WG]
_________________
What are the 4 major benefits of using [Betamethasone antenatal CTS]?
[Betamethasone antenatal CTS] ⬇︎
- [NRDS via STIMULATING LUNG MATURATION]
- IVH
- Necrotizing enterocolitis
- Neonatal mortality from prematurity
Complications = Chorioamnionitis/Endometritis/Cord Prolapse/Placenta Abruptio
Full term infant = 37- 42WG
How do you manage PPROM when it occurs < 34WG? -4
{(PCN with azithromycin) + Betamethasone + Tocolytics] + WW until 34WG*}
*if baby not compromised, fetal surveillance until 34 WG and then deliver!
Complications = Chorioamnionitis/Endometritis/Cord Prolapse/Placenta Abruptio
Full term infant = 37- 42WG
When are pts screened for Group B Strep via vaginal and rectal swab?
36-38 WG
results are valid for 5 weeks
When does a breech pregnant patient become eligible to receive [External Cephalic Version]?
≥37 WG
Pregnant patients with Sickle Cell Anemia have ⇪ risk for developing ⬜ , which presents with what 4 s/s ?
_________________
how is this different from [Acute fatty liver of pregnancy]? (2)
[Acute Sickle Liver Crises 2/2 vasooclusive crisis]
- [hemolysis (anemia/jaundice/icterus)]
- [RUQ pain with mild transaminitis]
- NV
- fever

SAME AS AFLP except…
AFLP = 3rd trimester and AFLP = [RUQ pain with SEVERE TRANSAMINITIS> 300]

What is shoulder dystocia? how does it present?
_________________
management? (6)
▶initial failure to deliver fetal ANT shoulder = OBSTETRIC EMERGENCY!
▶ fetal head retraction into perineum after head delivers
