CHAPT 1 Flashcards
What’s MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE
measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium
MMR FORMULA
MMR = (Number of maternal deaths /
Number of live births) X 1000
MMR= 1.1/1000 LB (FEB, 2008)
Causes of MMR
CAUSES:
1. Hemorrhage
2. Sepsis
3. Obstructed
4. Labor/ Labor Dystocia
5. Hypertension
6. Complication of unsafe abortion
What’s INFANT MORTALITY RATE
measures the risk of dying during the first year of life.
Formula of IMR
IMR = the number of deaths in the first year of life divided by the number of live births, multiplied by 1000
CAUSES of IMR
- Bacterial Sepsis of newborn
- Respiratory distress of newborn
- Pneumonia
- Disorders related to short gestation to low birth weight
- Congenital Pneumonia
- Congenital Malformation
- Neonatal Aspiration syndrome
- Intrauterine hypoxia and birth asphyxia
- Diarrhea and gastroenteritis of presumed infectious origin
What’s FETAL DEATH RATE
measures pregnancy wastage
Formula of FDR
FDR = total fetal death/total live birth X
1000
FDR = 5.2/1000 LB feb, 2008
study of the way such disorders
occur
Genetics
study of chromosomes by light microscopy
Cytogenesis
can be passed from one generation to the next because they result from some disorder in the gene or chromosome structure.
GENETIC DISORDERS
process of identifying apparently healthy people who may be at increased risk of a disease or condition.
Screening
A test to establish the presence (or absence) of disease as a basis for treatment decisions in symptomatic or screen positive individuals (confirmatory test)
Diagnostic test
What are NONINVASIVE, DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR HIGH-RISK PREGNANCY
• Fetal ultrasound or ultrasonic testing
• Cardiotocography
• Nonstresstest(NST)
• Contractionstresstest(CST)
is a technical means of recording (-graphy) the fetal heartbeat (-cardio) and the uterine contractions (-toco) during pregnancy, typically in the third trimester.
CARDIOTOCOGRAPHY (CTC)
A non-invasive diagnosis procedure utilizing high-frequency sound waves to detect intrabody structures.
Ultrasonography/ Fetal Ultrasound/ Ultrasonic Testing
a. Observation of FHT related to fetal movement
b. A test of fetal well-being
c. Usually done after week 26 of pregnancy
NON-STRESS TEST (NST)
Position for Non-Stress Test
Semi Fowlers or Left Lateral Position
- Observation of response of the fetus to induced uterine contractions
- Actest of feto-placental well-being
- Semi-fowler’s or left lateral position
OXYTOCIN CHALLENGE TEST (OCT)/ CONTRACTION STRESS TEST (CST)
INVASIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
- Chorionic Villus Sampling 2. Amniocentesis
- Embryoscopy
- Fetoscopy
- Cordocentesis/
- Percutaneous
- Umbilical
- Cord Blood Sampling
- Biophysical Profile
