Q

Mechanical causes for breathing

A
  • pressure on chest from birthing - oozing coming from mouth and nose that Dr sucks out - c-s babies requires more suctioning and are kept sideways or upright to get more drainage

Q

what causes continuation of respiration

Q

Benefits of delayed cord clamping

A

30-60 sec - increases blood volume by 50% (75 - 125 ml) to the baby - the increases increases RF for jaundice bc babies lack ability to break down excess heme from blood

91
Q

if mother was DM and baby is SGA/LGA baby should be checked for …

Ix ….

hypoglycemia (SGA: reduced nutrition to baby, mom could be preeclamptic from low perfusion; LGA: baby exposed to high BG from mothers DM)

Ix - tight feeding schedule

92
Q

baby BG must be above …

93
Q

A

Have baby alone (nothing else in crib such as blankets?), on their back, pacifier to keep baby alert (not recommended bc baby can confuse for nipple)

supervised tummy time (starting from day 1 to prevent flat head)

Avoiding smoking in house

keep baby form getting too hot

never leave baby alone

94
Q

indications for dx testing

A

To detect genetic abn and evaluate fetal conditions to monitor and help fetues

95
Q

first trimester purpose and tests

A

for viability and dates

US

hGC

Progesterone

CVS

96
Q

second trimester tests purpose and tests

A

Age and growth

US

MSAFP

Amniocentesis

97
Q

third semester tests

A

fetal movement

NST

Vibroacoustic stimulation

BPP

CST

98
Q

first trimester US and hGC are used to …

A

US: determine gestational age and any abn of the uterus, viability, or tumors

hGC: determine pregnancy

99
Q

second trimester US and amniocentesis can be used to …

A

US: determine anomalies in fetus or growth rate

Amnio: confirm MSAFP

100
Q

vibroacoustic test

A

startles the fetus

101
Q

purpose of the doppler US

A

determine if there are any blood flow problems; red moves toward transducer and blue away

not done for every pregnant mom

102
Q

indications for dopper US

A

mother has HT, smokes, DM where the baby would be expected to be SGA

103
Q

MSAFP

what

purpose

when

A

Maternal Serum Alpha-fetoprotein

used to test for NTD defects and Down Syndrome

can only be accurately done at 16-18 weeks so a US is crucial before testing

104
Q

MSAFP problems and caused by

A

many false positives caused by wrong gestational age, maternal wt, multifetal pregnancies, race, maternal DM

105
Q

Increased MSAFP indicate

A

Open NTD

threatened abortion

normal fetus + underestinated gestational age

106
Q

low MSFAP indicate

A

Down syndrome or trisomy 21

normal fetus + overestimated GA

107
Q

Amniocentesis risks

A

maternal : hemorrhage, infection, labor

fetal: death, hemorrhage, direct injury

risks mixing blood so give RhoGam

108
Q

second trimester amniocentesis would be done to …

A

confirm abn MSAFP

109
Q

third trimester amniocentesis would be done to …

A

confirm lung development if in PT labor; if in PT labor would give betamethasone and delay for as long as 24 hours

110
Q

Why would a CVS be done?

A

This test is done if a patient has experienced many spont. abortions. This test will confirm any genetic anomalies. The purpose of this test is for the patient to decide if they want to abort the baby at an early trimester.

111
Q

How is CVS done and what are the risks?

A

Extracts villi. This test can be done vaginally or abdominally guided by ultrasound. High risk to injury of fetus and loss of pregnancy.

112
Q

NST result requirements

A
