COMBANK OBGYN COMAT Flashcards
tx of uterine atony
- bimanual uterine massage asap
- if not resolved by 1, IV oxytocin infusion
- if still not resolved, admin another uterotonic agent (IM methylergonovine or rectal misoprostol)
pt with noncyclical pain, menorrhagia, and globular uterus … suspect _____
adenomyosis
difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis
Endometrial tissue - A = in myometrium - E = outside repro tract Pain - A = non- cyclical - E = cyclical Age - A = 40s and up - E = under 35 Fertility - A = parity and uterine surgeries (ex/ C/S) - E = difficulty conceiving
oxytocin effect on electrolytes
high dose has antiduretic and natriuretic effects
— can cause hyponatremia
oxytocin structurally similar to ______
vasopressin
beware high dose vasopressin admin can cause uterine contractions
most common vaginal cancers by age
- premenopausal women = adenocarcinoma, endodermal sinus tumor, rhabdomyosarcoma
- postmenopausal women = squamous cell carcinoma
vaginal cancer associated with DES exposure in utero
clear cell adenocarcinoma
most common cause of immediate pospartum fever (2-3days)
endometritis
Esp after C/S
most common abx regimen for PID
ceftriaxone (IM) + doxycycline (PO)
initial dx modality for postmenopausal bleeding
endometrial biopsy or Transvaginal US (not abd US)
– due to high suspicion for endometrial hyperplasia or carcinoma
rheumatologic disorder associated with hx of miscarriage
antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (in associateion with SLE)
how to dx SLE
need 4 out of 11 criteria, including: mucocutaneous manifestations evidence of serositis and arthritis renal failure neuro manifestations hematological and/or immunological markers
classic SLE sx
fever, malaise, joint pain, rash,
+/- glomerulonephritis, pericarditis, endocarditis
classic Sjogren’s syndrome sx
- dry eyes, dry mouth, bilateral parotid gland enlargement
- can also have fever, malaise, fatigue, arthritis
what type of heme dz in lupus
hemolytic anemia with reticulocytosis, leukopenia, lyphopenia, thrombocytopenia
what type of mucocutaneous manifestations in SLE
oral ulcers, discoid lesions, malar rash, photosensitivity
what type of kidney dz in SLE
glomerulonephritis: subendothelial immune complex deposits with marked thickening of capillary walls
what is included in fetal biophysical profile
sonographic assessment of 4 discrete biophysical variables: fetal movement, tone, breathing, amniotic fluid volume,
and nonstress testing.
- each assigned 2 (normal) or 0 (abnormal)
what is included in modified fetal biophysical profile
NST as a measure of acute oxygenation and assessment of AFV as a measure of longer-term oxygenation
dx of IUGR
ultrasound screening + *umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry
— IUGR is associated with diminished blood flow to maternal and fetal vessels
most common causes for a delay in the latent phase of labor
unripe cervix and false labor
common causes of galactorrhea
pituitary adenoma/prolactinoma, pituitary stalk compression, side effect of medications, and physiologic conditions (e.g., pregnancy, breast stimulation)
medications that cause galactorrhea
antipsychotics (Ex/ chlorpromazine), opiates, methyldopa, and serotonin reuptake inhibitors
— dopamine inhibits prolactin secretion. So dopamine antagonists prevent inhibition of prolactin
What does the bishop score mean?
- used to determine likelihood of vaginal delivery
- determines if cervix is “favorable” and thus mode of induction
how to interpret bishop score
- score >8 indicates that there is a high likelihood of a spontaneous vaginal delivery.
- A score of ≤ 6 indicates that the cervix is unfavorable and will need a cervical ripening agent
how to calculate bishop score
using the fetal station, plus four characteristics of the cervix: dilation, effacement, consistency, position
Fetal heart rate tracing category I
only reassuring components (baseline heart rate 110-160/min, moderate variability, no late or variable decelerations, early decelerations may be present or absent, accelerations may be present or absent)
Fetal heart rate tracing category II
those that cannot be classified as category I or category III
Fetal heart rate tracing category III
have concerning findings (absent variability and any of the following: , recurrent variable or late decelerations, bradycardia OR sinusoidal pattern).
how to detect fetal anuploidies as early as 9 weeks
serum PAP-A and B-HCG in combo with ultrasound (nuchal translucency)
when can you do amniocentesis
15-20w
when can you do chorionic villus sampling
10-12w
— more invasive, need US first
recc for IUD in place in pregnant woman
- remove in first trimester (decreases miscarriage rate)
- if string not visible, do US guided. Or can do hysteroscopy
What does elevated DHEA-S mean?
dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate
- produced by adrenal gland
- = hyperandrogenism from adrenal source (rather than PCOS)
Skene’s glands are located on
anterior surface of the vagina, directly below the urethra
Nabothian cysts
mucus-filled cysts located on the surface of the cervix.
Gartner’s duct
embryological remnant of the mesonephric duct.
Hyperemesis gravidarum vs physiologic nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (morning sickness)
hyper:
intractable vomiting with dehydration, metabolic alkalosis, hypokalemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, elevated hematocrit, and weight loss.
Phyllodes tumors
rare breast masses characterized by their large, multilobular shape (rapidly expanding)
use of Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) supplementation in preg
tx of nausea
What are Amsel’s criteria used for?
clinical criteria used for diagnosing BV
How to use Amsel’s criteria
3/4 to make dx of BV:
- Homogenous vaginal discharge
- Discharge has a pH greater than or equal to 4.5
- Positive whiff test: an amine like odor when discharge mixed with 10% KOH
- A wet mount demonstrating 20% more clue cells than vaginal epithelial cells
cause of GERD in pregnancy
increased progesterone causes smooth muscle relaxation, decreases LES tone and gastric motility -> increases the risk for GERD
chancroid characteristics
sx:
- painful ulcer (papule -> pustule -> ulcer, gray base)
- painful inguinal lymphadenopathy
notes:
- common in sex workers in underdeveloped areas
- age 15-19
- G stain shows G neg rods.
- Tx: azithromycin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, or erythromycin
common causes of cervicitis
chlamydia, gonorrhea
– chlamydia often otherwise asymptomatic
description of anogenital warts
- cauliflower-like lesion on vagina, vulva, and labia
- typically itchy
- also: discrete papillary, exophytic lesion on thigh
risk factors for ectopic implantation
- conditions that can damage and alter the structure of Fallopian tubes.
- – ex/ chlamydia, trich
- smoking
