Congential CMV Flashcards
Risks for infants of adolescent mothers
Lower birth weight
Vertically acquired STI
Poorer developmental outcomes
Increased risk of fetal death
Tobacco effects
maternal use increases risk of low birth weight
- no charateristic facies
Alcohol affects
there is no “safe” amount
- distinct pattern of facial abnormalities, growth deficiency, and CNS dysfunction
- neurobehavioral deficits and learning problems
Marijuana effects
no distinctive effects have been identified
Cocaine effects
cause vasoconstriction leading to placental insufficiency and low birth weight
- can cause some cognitive deficits later in life as well
- possible withdrawal symptoms
Maternal factors limiting growth of fetus
- poor weight gain in 3rd trimester
- preeclampsia
- drug use
- infections
- uterine abnormalities
Placental factors limiting growth of fetus
Placenta previa
Placental abruption
Abnormal vessel insertions
Fetal factors limiting growth of fetus
Malformations
Metabolic disease
Chromosomal abnormalities
Congenital infections
Small for Gestational Age
newborns who are smaller than expected
- not same as IUGR
Risks of vertical transmission of HIV
- frequent, unprotected sex during pregnancy
- advanced maternal HIV
- membrane rupture > 4 hrs and mom not on anti-retroviral therapy
- vaginal delivery
- breastfeeding
- premature delivery
APGAR scores
Appearance (color) Pulse (HR) Grimace (irritability) Activity (tone) Respirations At 1 and 5 minutes, max of 10
Growth terms reviewed
SGA - weight below 10th percentile for age
Microcephalic - head circumference below 10th percentile
Term - born at > 37 weeks gestation
Ballard gestational age
uses signs of physical and neuromuscular maturity to estimate gestational age
- helpful if no early US to gage
Risks for SGA in newborns
- Hypoglycemia - decreased glycogen stores, heat loss, hypoxia
- Hypothermia - cold stress, hypoxia, hypoglycemia, decreased insulation
- Polycythemia - chronic hypoxia, maternal-fetal transfusion
TORCH infections
T - toxoplasmosis O - HIV, Hep B, parvovirus, syphilis R - rubella C - CMV H - herpes simplex 2
