3 leading causes of adolescent death in US
Accidents, homicide, suicide
HEEADSSS
Home Education/Employment Eating disorders Activity/Aspirations/Affiliations Drugs Sexuality Suicide Safety
Alcohol–>
Marijuana–>
Cocaine–>
Tobacco–>
- ->FAS with distinct facies and neuro-behavioral-cognitive issues
- -> no distinct effects elucidated
- -> vasoconstriciton and low birth weight
- ->low birth weight
Estimating gestational age
Measure fundal height, compare to established norms and compare to EGA based on LMP - if fundal height is consistent with 6 month gestation but LMP consistent with 8 month, may have IUGR
IUGR vs SGA and types of IUGR
IURG - has not reached growth potential at given gestational age due to 1+ causative factors, noted in pregnancy
-Asymmetric IUGR aka head sparing - abdomen decreased relative to head, VS symmetric IUGR where both head and abdomen are decreased proportionately
SGA - definitions range from <10%ile for weight, dx at birth
Thus all IUGR are SGA but not all SGA are IUGR
TORCH
Toxoplasmosis Other - transplacental including HIV, HepB, parvovirus, syphilis) Rubella CMV HSV 2
How does diabetes impact fetal growth?
—>macrosomia
When to give intrapartum abx for GBS
- active labor w/ ruptured membranes for >= 18h
- GBS bacteria during any part of this pregnancy
- Fever >38/100.4
- Previous GBS+ infant
- intrapartum NAAT
- 38/100.4, + intrapartum NAAT, amniotic membrane rupture for >= 18 h
breast feeding in AIDS
3 ARV drugs before delivery, during and while breastfeeding help reduce transmission while breastfeeding
What drug and what delivery method reduces vertical AIDS transmission
Zidovudine - ideally before labor starts
-C section IF membranes have NOT already ruptured
Immediate things to do to baby post-delivery
- warm and dry
- stimulate to cry
- suction nose
- respiratory support if needed (ranges from nothing to O2 to CPR and medication)
APGAR meaning, what it doesn’t account for and scores
Appearance, Pulse/HR, Grimace, Activity, Respirations. Doesn’t account for maturity
- score 0-2 in each
- obtain scores at 1 and 5 minutes post delivery
What is Ballard scoring?
Gestational age assessment tool that uses physical and NM maturity to estimate age
“Term” infant
born after 37 weeks
microcephalic
head circumference below 10th percentile for gestational age
Problems in SGA infants
Hypothermia Hypoglycemia Hypergylcemia Intrauteruine death Asphyxia Meconium aspiration Persistent pulmonary hypertension GI perforation Polycythemia/hyperviscosity ARF Immunodeficiency
Rooting Sucking Moro Palmar/plantar Asymmetric tonic neck Stepping
Rooting: Turns head towards your finger if you touch cheek
Sucking: sucks finger if you touch roof of mouth
Moro: drop baby’s head a few cm–>he will flex his legs, fan and then clench fingers, throw arms out and then bring them together in an embrace
Palmar/plantar: will grasp your hand if you stroke palmar or plantar surface of hand/foot
Asymmetric tonic neck: turn baby’s head to one side which causes extension of arm in direction of gaze and flexion of other arm
Stepping: hold baby vertically and stroke dorusm of foot on table edge –>stepping
