Q

Nutritional Advantages of Breast MIlk

    seen in congenital anomalies
  • Treated with Indocin ( Prostagladin synthesis Inhibitor)
85
Q

What is PROM VS PPROM, Prolonged Rupture, what is the treatment

A

PROM : premature rupture membrane happens after 37 completed weeks , before onset of labor leads to oligohydraminos

PPROM : preterm premature rupture of membran, anytime before 37 weeks

Prolonged Rupture: more than 24hrs before birth

Management: - deliver within 24-48 hrs to prevent infection

  • chrorioamnionitis
  • if PPROM : delivery may be delayed with clsoed management
  • risk for decelerations, cord prolapse
86
Q

What is Cord prolapsed and how to manage it ?

A
  • when the amniotic fluid is ruptured allowing the cord to go ahead of the fetus

Treatment:

  • keep the hand in the vagina push the fetus presentation part away from the cord
  • DONOT PUSH THE CORD IN CAN CAUSE AN INFECTION
  • Place in trendelenburg or chest prone down/ kneeling position , buttocks up
  • monitor FHR
  • Emergency C-section
87
Q

Q

It is Monday, March 30th. Ms. P arrives for an NST accompanied by her husband. She is sent to room 4 and assigned to you. The charge nurse informs you that she is a patient of Dr. X’s, that this is her first baby, and that she is scheduled for an NST for postdates. The first day of her last menstrual period was June 23rd, 2019.

You enter Ms. P’s room, introduce yourself and proceed to prep her for the NST. You confirm her identity.

Q

What cause gestational diabetes

A
  • In the first trimester: insulin was created more inside estrogen and progesterone creates insulin breaks down glucose
  • In the second trimester: Placenta produce prolactin and lactogen that are resistant to insulin, more glucose in the blood and cross the placenta cause the fetus to utilize and gain weight which becomes GDM insulin can not cross over the placenta so more glucose in the utero placenta
