Q

What do the stages of labor begin and end with?

A

1- Contractions/ beginning of cervical filation- 10cm dilation
2- Full dilation (perineal pain)- delivery of newborn

Q

NPO guidelines for laboring mothers

A

Drink a moderate amount of clear liquids throughout labor
Eat solid foods until a neuraxial block is placed

17
Q

Epidurals ____ prolong the first stage of labor

A

Do not

18
Q

Epidurals _____ increase the need for a C section

A

Do not

19
Q

___ may be needed to help labor progress

A

Oxytocin

20
Q

Latent vs active phases

A

Latent- Cervical dilation <3 cm
Active- Dilation >3cm until placental delivery
For clarification- 1st stage starts in latent and ends in active, 2nd and 3rd stages are in active phase

21
Q

Total neuraxial coverage requires a blockade from ____ to ____

A

T10-S4

21
Q

Uncontrolled pain can cause the blood pressure to ____, and thus ___

A

Rise, Reduce UBF

22
Q

Uncontrolled pain can cause maternal respirations to ____, causing ____

A

increase (hyperventilate)-> left shift- > (alkalosis)
Reduced delivery of O2 to the fetus

23
Q

Is N2O associated with hypoxia, loss of airway reflexes, uterine contractility, unconsciousness, or neonatal depression?

A

No, unless it is used with opioids

24
Q

Which LA antagonizes Mu and Kappa receptors in the spinal cord?

A

2-Chloroprocaine
This reduces the efficacy or epidural morphine

25
Q

Which LA crosses the placenta easiest?

A

Lidocaine!
So it is not used for continuous infusions
Also not popular in labor analgesia d/t strong motor block, but is good for C/S
High risk of neurotoxicity if given in the subarachnoid space

26
Q

When will you notice that an epidural is actually a spinal?

A

10-25 minutes
HOTN + respiratory arrest + LOC

27
Q

Treatment of inadvertant toal spinal after intended epidural

A

Pressors
IVF
Left uterine displacement
Leg elevation
Intubation

28
Q

Category 3 suggests a significant threat to fetal oxygenation, findings include ____

A

Bradycardia
Absent baseline variability
Recurrent late OR variable decels
Sinusoidal pattern

29
Q

Category 1 suggest no threat to fetal oxygenation, findings include ___

A

Baseline HR 110-160
Moderate variability
Early decels or accelerations
NO late or variable decels

30
Q

The incidence prematurity rises with

A

Multiple gestations and premature rupture of membranes

31
Q

Name 6 complications with premature delivery

A

Respiratory distress
hypoglycemia
hypocalcemia
NEC
Hyperbilirubinemia
Intraventricular hemorrhage

32
Q

Dont administer nifedipine with ___ for the risk of SM weakness

A

Magnesium

33
Q

What is methergine used for?

A

Uterotonic drug- increases contractility
It is NOT a tocolytic (uterine relaxant)

34
Q

When should oxytocin be administered during a C/S?

A

After delivery of the placenta
