Misoprostol: Stops hemorrhage

Methylergonovine (Methergine)
Prevent or control postpartum hemorrhage. Raises BP Contradicted in Preeclampsia/ HTN

Carboprost (Hemabate)
Prostaglandin analogue used to control severe postpartum bleeding when other treatments are ineffective.

It induces strong uterine contractions, helping to reduce hemorrhage by constricting blood vessels in the uterine lining.

Side effects like fever, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting.

Contraindicated in patients with asthma due to the risk of bronchospasm.

Q

________ is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other pelvic organs.

This misplaced tissue responds to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle, leading to inflammation, pain, and sometimes scar tissue or adhesions.

Symptoms can include severe menstrual cramps, pain during intercourse, heavy periods, and, in some cases, infertility.

The exact cause of endometriosis is not fully understood, but treatment options may include pain management, hormonal therapies, and, in some cases, surgery to remove the excess tissue.

Q

Vasa previa is a rare complication in which….

A

fetal blood vessels run near or across the opening of the cervix, unsupported by the umbilical cord or placenta.

These exposed vessels are at risk of tearing if labor begins or the membranes rupture, which can lead to rapid and life-threatening blood loss for the baby.

Vasa previa is typically diagnosed through ultrasound during pregnancy.

124
Q

Type A blood has A antigens and anti-B antibodies.

Type B blood has B antigens and anti-A antibodies.

Type AB blood has both A and B antigens but no antibodies, making it a universal plasma reciever

Type O blood has no antigens but both anti-A and anti-B antibodies, making it a universal blood donor.

People with AB blood type are known as “universal recipients” for plasma transfusions because they have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and do not have anti-A or anti-B antibodies in their plasma. This means they can safely receive red blood cells from any blood type:

O (no A or B antigens)
A (A antigens)
B (B antigens)
AB (both A and B antigens)

However, when it comes to donating blood, AB blood can only be given to other AB recipients due to the presence of both antigens.

A

Probably not in test
