Q

• Screens for Downs (21)
• hCG ↑ (2X) value; uE3 will be ↓
4. Inhibin-A- increased w/ Downs syndrome

A

Human Chorionic Gonadtropin (hCG)

22
Q

MSAFP, hCG, uE3 & Inhibin- A are all DECREASED

A

Trisomy 18

23
Q

MSAFP & uE3 are LOW; hCG and Inhibin- A are HIGH

A

Trisomy 21

24
Q
  • performed @ 16wks gestation.
  • Used to determine FETAL LUNG MATURITY (Lecithin/sphingomyelin ratio)
  • Routine for women over 35.
  • Results take 2 weeks.
A

Amniocentesis

25
Q

0-13 weeks

A

1ST TRIMESTER

26
Q

13-28 weeks

A

2ND TRIMESTER

27
Q

28-42 weeks

A

3rd TRIMESTER

28
Q

male or female reproductive sell (occur or spermatozoa)

A

Gamete

29
Q

fertilized single cell organism

A

Zygote

30
Q

ball of cells, in Fallopian tubes

A

Morello

31
Q

collection of cells implants into uterus

A

Blastocysts

32
Q

• produced by trophoblastic tissue and basis of current pregnancy test.
• 1st detected level is 10 days after conception/ovulation. (LMP 3 weeks) and considered (+) @ 30 mIU/mL
• Doubles every 2-3 days
• Plateaus around 8-9 weeks then declines
o Qualitative- urine test + or – only
o Quantitative- results a specific level
o **** IRP = ( 2 x 2IS ) Equation

A

hCG

33
Q

wrong date, multiple test, or trophoblastic disease

A

Increased hCG

34
Q

wrong dates, demise, ectopic

A

Decreased hCG

35
Q

Blastocysts impacts in endo by the end of the 3rd week

A

Implanations

36
Q
  • Decidua capsularis
  • Decidua basalis
  • Decidua Parietalis (Decidua Vera)
A

3 distinct layers implantation

37
Q

Closes over and surrounds blastocyst

A

Decidua capsularis

38
Q

Develops were blastocyst attaches; contributes to maternal portion of placenta

A

Decidua Basalis

39
Q

results from hormonal influence

A

Decidua Parietalis

40
Q
  • Maternal component derived from decidua basalis
  • Fetal component comes from trophoblastic tissue & develops into chorionic villi by 5 weeks which becomes the chorion frondosum (fetal part of placenta).
A

Placentation

41
Q

is actually chorionic villi that be comes compressed and avascular. It surrounds GS and extends up to and merges with the edge of the placenta

A

Chorionic membrane

42
Q

is formed from inner Blastocyte cells. It is attached to the embryonic disc.

A

Amniotic membrane

43
Q

begin to fuse by middle of first trimester and completed by 12-16 weeks.

A

Amnion and Chorion

44
Q
  • hCG is > 1000 TRANSVAGINAL (using 2IS) (if using IRP
  • hCG is >1800 TRANSABDOMINAL (using 2IS) double these #s)
  • Certain LMP > 5 weeks
  • GS GROWS 1 mm/day
  • MSD in mm = (AP + long + trans) ÷ 3 mm **on test
  • MSD-CRL ≤ 5mm is assoc. w/ ↑ risk of SAB
  • YS is present when MSD is ≥ 13mm
A

Gestational sac

45
Q

• Visible by end of 5th week TV
• Abnormal Signs:
o Diameter > 6 mm between 5 & 10 weeks GA ** ON TEST**
o Calcified YS only seen with embryonic demise
o Almost always indicates Spontaneous Abortion
o Located between the amnion and chorion
o “ double bleb” sign is yolk sac & amnion

****FETAL GENDER cannot be differentiated by SONO until 16 WEEKS **

A
