What are the 3 presentations of ectopic pregnancy?

A

1) Prior missed menses
2) Vaginal bleeding
3) Lower abdominal pain

Possible, Probable, Acutely Ruptured

25
Q

__1__ ectopic pregnancy is the most common clinical presentation for ectopic pregnancy and

  • Result in mild non specific findings such as abdominal pain and vaginal spotting along with
  • Physical exam findings such as the uterus being soft/normal size.

__2__ is an ultrasound finding seen in this type of presentation.

A

1) Possible

2) Thickened endometrial stripe (Arias-Stella reaction)

26
Q

__1__ ectopic pregnancy presents with

  • Lower abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding along with
  • Physical findings such as adnexal tenderness and/or vertical motion tenderness.

Variable amounts of fluid in the __2__ is an ultrasound finding seen in this type of presentation.

A

1) Probable

2) Cul de sac

27
Q

__1__ ectopic pregnancy is a

  • surgical emergency
  • symptoms: severe abdominal pain and dizziness (secondary to intraperitoneal hemorrhage)
  • Physical findings such as distended abdomen, cervical motion tenderness, and hemodynamic instability (diaphoresis, tachycardia, loss of consciousness).

__2__ with a significant amount of __2__ is an ultrasound finding seen in this type of presentation.

A

1) Acutely ruptured

2) Empty uterus; free fluid

28
Q

1) What is the diagnostic finding for Ectopic Pregnancy?

2) What diagnostic hCG finding for blighted ovum?

A

1) hCG inappropriately rises

2) Falling hCG levels

29
Q

1) Laparotomy is for which patients?
2) Laparoscopy is the preferred approach for __2__ patients.

A

1) Hemodynamically unstable

2) Stable

30
Q

2) What helps with long term tubal function and is performed by making incision parallel to axis of tube over site of implantation and incision is left open to heal?

A

31
Q

What results in the mother’s immune system to produce antibodies to the fetal Rh antigen, which can cross the placenta and destroy fetal red blood cells resulting in serious hemolytic disease in the fetus/newborn?

A

Rhesus isoimmunization

32
Q

Rhesus isoimmunization occurs in a pregnant, Rh __1__ women carrying an Rh __2__ fetus.

A

1) Negative

2) Positive

33
Q

The Rh complex is made up of a number of antigens, women who carry which antigen are RH positive?

A

34
Q

Initial response to Rh antigen is the production of __1__ antibodies for a short period of time, followed by __2__ antibodies that freely cross the placenta & enter the fetal circulation.

If the fetus has Rh antigen, then the antibodies will bind to the fetal __3__ antigenic sites and cause hemolysis.

Prophylactic ____ is used to prevent maternal production of antibodies to Rh.

A

Rh immune globulin (RhoGAM)

36
Q

Cesarean section, placenta previa or abruption and manual extraction of placenta can all cause ____ which can then lead to isoimmunization.

A

Fetomaternal hemorrhage

37
Q

2) What does it look for?
3) It will determine if additional __3__ is necessary.

A

2) Fetal RBCs in maternal blood
3) RhoGAM

39
Q

If a Rh negative women whose anti-D antibody titers are positive (Rh D sensitized) and the father of the baby is Rh-D negative, what should be done?

Why?

A

1) No further workup or treatment is necessary

2) The fetus will be Rh negative

40
Q

1) If a Rh negative women whose anti-D antibody titers are positive (Rh D sensitized)
Father of the baby is Rh-D positive which results in homozygosity for D antigen, how will it be passed?

2) If this scenario results in heterozygosity for D antigen?

A

1) All fetuses will be Rh positive

2) 50% of the children will be Rh negative and 50% Rh positive

41
Q

If a maternal Rh- Antibody titer is less than 1:8 this usually indicates that?

If titers are more than 1:16 this requires what?

A

1) The fetus is fine
2) US to detect hydrops

Because when Rh-Ab amount is increased,
Goes to fetal blood and binds leading to hemolytic anemia
Hemolytic anemia leads to hydrops fetalis

42
Q

What US findings point towards fetal hydrops?

A 
Skin/scalp edema
Ascites
Pleural effusion
Pericardial Effusion
Polyhydramnios

SAPPP

43
Q

Doppler assessment of peak systolic velocity in the fetal ____ in cm/sec is the most valuable tool for detecting What?

A

1) Middle cerebral artery

2) Fetal Anemia

44
Q

Hematocrit below 30% or 2 standard deviations below the mean Hct for the gestational age is suggestive of?

Severe fetal anemia
