CBL Flashcards
volume of blood needed to sensitize (aka create antibody ) mother to fetal blood
1/10th cc
what does misoprostol do
induces labor by inducing uterine contractions, cervical ripening (breaks S-S bonds, driving water into cervix)
why does the fibroid increase risk of hemorrhage and uterine atony
because there is something in the uterus so it doesn’t contract as well
average blood loss in a c section
1000 cc
posterior c section incision on an obese woman is (a great option/impossible)
impossible
blood flow per minute through uterus
500 cc/min
why was it bad for the uterus to contract during the EXIT procedure/aka why did they want deep uterine relaxation
contraction would compromise placental-utero blood flow (and cut off oxygen supply to baby)
risk of infection is (higher/lower) in obese patients
higher
risk of blood clotting is (higher/lower) in obese patients
higher
pregnancy is a hypercoaguable state. why?
so you don’t bleed to death when you deliver
in this case, the woman was operated on in (an ideal/a less than ideal) position
less than ideal due to obesity
why did the patient wear compression stockings
MCC maternal death: hemorrhage, DVT and Pulm Embolus, hypertension
c section incision is __cm below fundus no matter the anatomic landmarks like umbilicus location
24cm
why is it important to counsel the patient in this scenario
bc the baby could die
hemolytic disease of newborn (HDN) aka erythroblastosis fetalis is (autoimmune/alloimmune)
alloimmune
