Q

Define protraction of the active phase

A

Cervical dilation in the active phase that’s less than expected. Normals:

  • > /= 1.2 cm/hr in nulliparous
  • > /= 1.5 cm/hr in woman w/ at least 1 vag delivery

Q

Define the 3 categories of FHR patterns

A

Category 1: reassuring: normal baseline and variability, no late or variable decels
Category 2: may have some aspect that’s concerning but not ominous
Category 3: ominous, indicates a high likelihood of severe fetal hypoxia

22
Q

A

Anthropod pelvis

23
Q

Define 0 station

A

When presenting part is right at the plane of the ischial spines

24
Q

How do you distinguish btwn bloody show and antepartum bleeding?

A

Bloody show will have sticky mucus admixed with blood, while antepartum bleeding won’t

25
Q

Which type of decels are mirror images of uterine contractions?

A

Early decels

26
Q

Which type of decels are abrupt in decline and abrupt in resolution?

A

Variable decels

27
Q

29 yo G2P1 woman at 20 wk gestation comes for routine prenatal care. On exam, BP is 100/60, HR 80 bpm, temp normal. Hb is 9.5 w/ elevated HbA2.
Most likely Dx?
Underlying mechanism?

A

Anemia 2/2 beta thal minor

Decreased beta globin chain production

28
Q

31 yo G4P3 woman has normal SVD of baby and after slight lengthening of the cord, a reddish shaggy mass is noted bulging in the introitus.
Most likely Dx?
Most likely Cpx?

A

Uterine inversion

Postpartum hemorrhage

29
Q

25 yo obese G2P1 woman is delivering at 42 wk gestation. The fetus appears clinically to be 3700 g (average weight). After a 4 hr 1st stage of labor and a 2 hr second stage of labor, the head delivers, but the shoulders don’t easily deliver.
Next step in management?
Likely complication (1 maternal and 1 neonatal)?
Predisposing maternal condition?

A
  • McRoberts maneuver: hyperflexion of the maternal hips onto the maternal abdomen +/- subrapubic pressure
  • Postpartum hemorrhage
  • Brachial plexus injury
  • GDM
30
Q

22 yo G3P2 woman at term is in labor w/ a cervical dilation of 5 cm. Vertex is at -3 station. Upon AROM, persistent fetal bradycardia to 70-80 bpm range is noted for 3 min.
Next step?

A

Vaginal exam to assess for umbilical cord prolapse

31
Q

Treatment of mild microcytic anemia in pregnant woman w/o RF for thalassemia?

A

Trial of iron + recheck h/h in 3 wk

32
Q

Next step for mild microcytic anemia in pregnant woman who didn’t respond to iron trial?

A

Iron studies + HFE

33
Q

Hb less than ____ qualifies as anemia in pregnancy?

-Define mild vs severe

A

<7

Q

Why can babies with beta thal appear healthy at birth?

A

Q

Pregnant women with sickle cell disease will have worsening and/or incr freq of what 4 complications?

A

36
Q

Name two fetal complications with incr risk in pregnant women with sickle cell disease. How do you monitor for these?
