Q

For IUGR, how can you use US to determine asymm vs symm?

A

Look at HC vs FL and AC. HC is spared in asymm, while all 3 are decreased symmetrically in symm.

Q

What does absent end-diastolic flow through the umbilical artery signify?

A

Moderately high stillbirth risk- can obs in some cases

17
Q

For suspected symmetric IUGR, how can you differentiate btwn dating error and actual IUGR?

A

Repeat US in 2-3 wk. If it shows adequate interval growth, then it’s probably just a dating error.

18
Q

Early insults to fetal growth typically cause which type of IUGR?

A

Symm

19
Q

How does perinatal morbidity and mortality change in infants born btwn 38-42 wk with bw 1500-2500 g?

A

30x incr from infants born btwn 10th-90th %ile

20
Q

Name 6 neonatal morbidities assoc w/ IUGR?

A
  • meconium aspiration
  • NEC
  • Hypoglycemia
  • respiratory distress
  • hypothermia
  • thrmobocytopenia
21
Q

Per the Baker hypothesis, what are 4 major long-term (adult) consequences of IUGR?

A
  • CAD
  • CVA
  • HTN
  • T2DM
22
Q

Name 4 major infections associated with IUGR. Which of these is especially assoc w/ early-onset (<20 wk) IUGR?

A
  • Toxo, hsv, parvo

- CMV is a/w early onset iugr

23
Q

Is work-up for infection a/w IUGR always high yield?

A

No- after mid-gestation, yield becomes low

24
Q

What’s often the earliest sign of IUGR detected on US?

A

Decreased AFI

25
Q

Why is AFI low in IUGR?

A

Decr perfusion of fetal kidneys and decreased UOP

26
Q

Pregnancies with the most severe ___________ have the highest perinatal mortality rate, incidence of anomalies, and incidence of IUGR

A

Oligohydramnios

27
Q

Polyhydramnios + IUGR has been a/w high rate of what 2 things?

A

Structural and chromosomal abnormalities

28
Q

How does increased resistance in the placental circulation manifest on doppler of umbilical arteries?

A

Increased doppler blood flow indices

29
Q

Use of doppler flow measurements in IUGR can significantly decr what 2 things?

A

Perinatal death

Unnecessary induction of labor

30
Q

If IUGR is diagnosed in fetus <34 wk, what drug should you give mom?

A

Steroids bc of incr risk of preterm delivery

31
Q

Indications for delivery in IUGR <32 wk?

A
  • Reverse end-diastolic flow
  • Persistent non-reassuring fetal testing despitr measures to optimize placental perfusion
  • Significant or ominous fetal testing results
32
Q

Indications for delivery in IUGR 32-36 wk?

A
  • Severe HTN despite therapy
  • Absence of growth over 2-4 wk
  • Non-reassuring fetal testing
  • Absent or reverse end-diastolic flow on doppler
33
Q

Indications for delivery in IUGR >36 wk?

A

Just deliver (risks of prematurity are low)

34
Q

First step in eval of size > dates?

A
