A patient has mitral stenosis, what do you give to block intubation reflex hypertension?

Local toxicity
Local anesthetic epidural anesthesia is LEAST associated with
a) hypotension
b) FHR abnormalities
c) pruritis

Pruritus (that is for Narcotic epidurals, not local anesthetic)
What is the best medication to alleviate hypertension in a preeclamptic patient at time of general anesthesia induction?
Nitroglycerin, In patients in whom hypertension during laryngoscopy could result in hypertensive crisis or cardiac decompensation, the anesthesiologist may administer anti-hypertensives during intubation.
What is the principal substrate for oxidative metabolism in the placenta?
Glucose
Where are the different Prostaglandins made?
PGI2: Myometrium
PGE2: Decidua and Amnion
PGF2alpha: Decidua
Mechanism of Uterine Contraction?
phospholipase C converts phospatidylinositol triphosphate to inositol triphosphate, which release calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium then binds to calmodulin; the calcium-calmodulin complex then activates myosin light chain kinase. Myosin light chain kinase phosphorylates myosin light chain, which enables the ATPase activity & causes sliding of myosin over actin fibrils.
What drug increases the motor blockade with magnesium sulfate?
Calcium Channel Blocker
What enzyme is the rate-limiting step in synthesis of prostaglandin?
Phospholipid converstion by Phospholipase A2 to Arachidonic acid
What medication causes reversible hearing loss in the fetus?
Streptomycin
Why is it a bad plan to give I131 in pregnancy?
It will destroy the fetal thyroid (because it concentrates there startingat 10-12 weeks)
Fasting levels of what causes NTD? When might you see it?
Homocysteine, With Folic Acid antagonists blocking folate acid synthesis and back up results in increased homocysteine.

Thalidomide, Mycophenolate

b) Caused by teratogens
c) Multifactorial
d) Aneuploidy
Multifactorial
Features of Fetal Varicella?
Mental Retardation, Limb Hypoplasia, Scarring of Skin, Eye
Maternal risk of Varicella?
30% pneumonia which has a 30% mortality.
External Genitalia differentiation stimulated by what hormone?
LH which stimulates testosterone
What is hormones are HPL most like?

A mother who is HIV positive who took no meds during the pregnancy what is given in labor to decrease transmission?
a) Acyclovir
b) Lamivudine
c) Nevirapine
Nevirapine (in combination with AZT or if AZT is unavailable)
Least likely associated with mental retardation?
Only 0.4% of women with varicella in first trimester have affected children.
Malaria, which more likely to have PROM(?)?
Malaria is worse in primigravid women, and also worse in areas with less malaria (i.e. because less prior exposure to it). Sickle trait provides protection against malaria. Thus I assume the correct answer is A, primip without hx of malaria.
Risk of Early onset GBS if not treated in labor and GBS positive?
1-2%
Per the CDC report, in the absence of intervention 1-2% of infants born to colonized mothers develop early-onset GBS sepsis. Prior to instituting universal screening, the incidence of GBS sepsis was 1.7/1000, now is 0.33/1000.

a) amnio for toxo PCR
b) PUBS for fetal IgM
c) PUBS for fetal IgG
