16
Q

What is a incomplete abortion

A

Severe cramps
Copious and severe bleeding
Partial fetal tissue or placenta passed
The cervical opening is dilated with tissue in cervical canal or passage of tissue

17
Q

What is a complete abortion

A

Mild cramps
Minimal bleeding
Complete expulsion of uterine contents
The cervical opening is closed with no tissue in cervical canal

18
Q

What is a missed abortion

A

No cramps
Brownish discharge
No tissue passed with prolonged retention of tissue
Cervical opening is closed

19
Q

D&C dilation and curettage

A

To dilate and scrape the uterine walls to remove uterine contents for inevitable and complete abortions

20
Q

D&E dilation and evacuation

A

To dilate and evacuate uterine contents after 16 weeks of gestation

21
Q

What is the 2nd most frequent cause of bleeding In early pregnancy and cause of infertility

A

Ectopic pregnancies

22
Q

What is a salpingostomy

A

A prove endure to salvage the Fallopian tube if not ruptured in a ectopic

23
Q

What is a laparoscopic salpingectomy

A

The removal of a tube when the tube has ruptured

24
Q

What is administered that inhibits cell division and embryo enlargement, dissolving the pregnancy

A

Methotrexate (MTX)

25
Q

What is gestational trophoblastic disease

A

It is the proliferation and degeneration of trophoblastic villi in the placenta that becomes swollen, fluid filled, and takes on the appearance of grape like clusters, the embryo fails to develop beyond a primitive state and these structures are assoc with choriocarcinoma, which is a rapidly metastasizing malignancy.

26
Q

What is a complete mole

A

All genetic material is paternally derived
The ovum has no genetic material or the material is inactive
It contains no fetus, placenta, amniotic membranes or fluid
There is no placenta to receive maternal blood, therefore hemmorhage into the uterine cavity occurs and vaginal bleeding results

27
Q

What is a partial mole

A

Genetic material is derived both maternal,y and paternally
A normal ovum is fertilized by 2 sperm or 1 sperm in which meiosis or chromosome reduction and division did not occur
A partial mole contains abnormal embryonic or fetal parts an amniotic sac, and fetal blood but congenital anomalies are present

28
Q

For molar pregnancy how often should serum hCG levels be checked

A

It is to be done weekly for 3 weeks then monthly for 6 months to a year to detect GTD

29
Q

What is placenta previa

A

It occurs when the placenta abnormally implants in the lower segment of the uterus near or over the cervical os instead of attaching to the fundus, the abnormal implantation results in bleeding during the 3 Ed trimester as the cervix begins to dilate and efface

30
Q

How is placenta previa classified

A

They are classified into three types dependent on the degree to which the cervical os is covered by the placenta

31
Q

Name and describe the 3 types of placenta previa

A
  1. Complete or total- cervical os is completely covered by the placental attachment
  2. incomplete or partial- cervical os is only partially covered by the placental attachment
    • marginal or low lying- the placenta is attached in the lower uterine segment but does not reach the cervical os
32
Q

What does Leopold maneuvers do

A

Determined fetal position and presentation

33
Q

What is abruptio placenta

A

It is the premature separation of the placenta fro the uterus which can be a partial or complete detachment
This separation occurs after 20 weeks gestation. It has significant maternal and fetal morbidity. And is a leading cause of maternal death.

34
Q

What are causes of bleeding during pregnancy during the first trimester

A

Spontaneous abortion or ectopic pregnancy
