Q

functions of amniotic fluid (6)

A
  • thermal regulation
  • cushion
  • facilitations symmetrical growth and development
  • allows fetal lung development (breathes in and swallows the fluid)
  • source of oral fluid
  • waste repository

25
critical piece of fetal assessment
volume of amniotic fluid
26
how many mL is oligohydramnios of amniotic fluid (worried about perfusion, renal anomaly, leak in membranes)
<300 mL
27
how many mL is polyhydramnios of amniotic fluid (sometimes associated with GI anomaly)
>2 L
28
what is LS ratio (tested by amniocentesis)
ratio of lecithin and sphingomyelin in amniotic fluid | ratio of 2:1 indicates mature fetal lungs
29
how many vessels in umbilical cord
2 arteries | 1 vein
30
what helps umbilical cord to not kink by cushioning vessels
wharton's jelly
31
2 factors that help umbilical cord not to kink and cut off blood/oxygen supply
wharton's jelly | twisting of cord
32
deoxygenated blood is carried through umbilical arteries or vein
arteries
33
oxygenated blood is carried through umbilical arteries or vein
vein
34
fingerlike projections into mom's intervillous space (pool of blood) that receive oxygen and nutrients and bring back to baby
chorionic villi
35
a chorionic villi that connects all the way down to mom's endometrium
anchoring villi
36
when trophoblasts from fetus line uterine spiral arteries, causing them to dilate and lengthen, giving more blood to the growing fetus. (decreases maternal bp)
vascular remodeling
37
what event can lead eventually to pre-eclampsia
failure of vascular remodeling
38
15-20 lobes on placenta that are functional units in anchoring villi
cotyledon
39
4 functions of the placenta
- endocrine organ - metabolism - transport - immunology
40
endocrine function of placenta
produces estrogen, progesterone, HCG, human placental lactogen (HPL)
41
metabolic function of placenta
synthesizes glycogen, fatty acids, cholesterol and enzymes
42
transport function of placenta
transports gases, nutrients, waste, drugs, etc
43
immunologic function of placenta
- filters some pathogens (large molecules such as some bacteria) - prevents rejection (cloaks baby's DNA)
44
immunologic function of placenta
- filters some pathogens (large molecules such as some bacteria) - prevents rejection (cloaks baby's DNA)
45
why do we use the 1st day of the mother's last menstrual cycle for gestational age to determine the due date
because we can't be completely sure of the date of conception
46
earliest system of fetus to function
circulatory (heart)
47
3 shunts that permit most of the fetus' blood to bypass the liver and lungs
- ductus venosus - foramen ovale - ductus arteriosus
48
shunt that shunts blood to bypass liver to inferior vena cava
ductus venosus
49
hole between two atria of fetal heart to allows blood to shunt through to the left atrium (blood is already oxygenated, so it can bypass the lungs)
foramen ovale
50
shunt that allows deoxygenated blood from RV of heart to pulmonary trunk to this shunt into aorta (bypasses lungs)
ductus arteriosus
51
when does resp system start developing
embryonic stage (continues into early childhood)
52
MSF
meconium stained fluid
53
when do the kidneys start functioning
9-11 weeks | *amniotic fluid volume is now indicative of perfusion
54
when is sex differentiation fully distinguished in fetus
12 weeks
55
when is hearing and vision developed in fetus
hearing: 24 weeks vision: 26 weeks
56
fine hair covering fetus at 20 weeks
lanugo
57
thick white mixture that covers fetus' skin, protects skin. thick at 24 weeks, and disappears with continued growth
vernix caeseosa
58
twins from 2 mature ova
dizygotic | fraternal
59
twins from one ova that divides
monozygotic | identical
60
twins that are monozygotic but the cleavage is incomplete
conjoined
61
concern of twins sharing amniotic sac (mono mono)
cord entanglement
62
nongenetic factors influencing development (3)
- environmental factors - teratogen exposure - poor maternal nutrition (ex: folic acid)
63
any agent or non-genetic factor that produces permanent abnormal embryonic physical development or physiology
teratogen
64
principle of teratogen: if mom is exposed to teratogen during first 2 weeks after conception, it will either cause miscarriage or no effect
all or none phenomenon
65
principle of teratogen: how much of substance was mom exposed to
dose dependency
66
principle of teratogen: over what period of time was baby exposed to a harmful substance
duration of exposure
67
principle of teratogen: OTC or Rx meds that affect how moms body utilizes the substance and how it can affect the fetus
drug interactions
68
principle of teratogen: possibility that something harmful will effect one fetus vs another
host susceptibility
69
what might teratogens effect during fetal period
structural defects | fetal growth restriction
70
principle of teratogen: teratogen effects baby more or less depending on what stage in pregnancy fetus was
critical periods for certain effects
71
when is most critical period for harmful effects of teratogens for fetus
embryonic stage (2-8 weeks)
72
known/strongly suspected teratogens
- alcohol - tobacco - androgens - ACE inhibitors - antithyroid drugs - coumadin/warfarin - carbamazepine, phenytoin, valproic acid (anti-seizure drugs) - folic acid antagonist - cocaine - lead, mercury - lithium - NSAIDs - tetracycline - thalidomide
73
if mom needs blood thinner during pregnancy what med will she get v not get
get: heparin | not get: coumadin/warfarin
74
known/strongly suspected teratogens: infections
- CMV - rubella - syphilis - toxoplasmosis (uncooked meat and cat feces) - varicella
