only cure is to deliver fetus

31
Q

how to treat eclampsia

A

IV MgSO4
antihypertensives
immediate delivery

32
Q

what is HELLP syndrome

A

associated with eclampsia
H - hemolytic anaemia (will see schistocytes)
EL - elevated liver enzymes
LP - low platelets (from DIC)

33
Q

what are teh consequences of HELLP syndrome

A

can lead to subcapsular hepatic hematoma – rupture – severe hypotension

34
Q

what is treatment for HELLP syndrome

A

immediate delivery

35
Q

presentation of preeclampsia/eclampsia/HELLP

A
hypertension
proteinuria
dependent pitting oedema
weight gain of >4 /week
renal disease
liver disease - RUQ and hepatomegaly
schistocytes
pale and tired
36
Q

what is the most common cause of late gestational bleeding

A

placental abruption

37
Q

largest risk factor for placental abruption

A

hypertension

38
Q

other risk factors for palcental abruption

A
trauam  MVA
smokin
hypertension
preeclampsia
cocaine abuse
39
Q

what is the pathos of placental abruption

A

premature separation (partial or complete) of placenta from uterine wall before delivery of munchkin

40
Q

which placental complication is life threatenign for mom and baby

A

placental abruption

41
Q

abrupt painful uterine bleeding in third trimester
forceful uterine contractions
evidence of fetal distress

A

placental abruption

42
Q

possibel complications of placental abruption

A

DIC
maternal shock
featl distress

43
Q

waht is placenta accreta/increta/percreta

A

defective decidual layer - abnormal attachment and espration afterdelivery

44
Q

risk factors for placenta accreta/increta/percreta please

A

previous C section
inflammation
placenta previa

45
Q

placenta attaches to myometrium without penetrating it

A

placenta accreta

46
Q

placenta penetrates into myometrium

A

placenta iccreta

47
Q

placenta perforates/penetrates through myometrium and into uterine serosa ie invades uterine wall

A

placenta percreta

48
Q

which type of placenta xccreta is most common

A

accreta - attachment to myometrial wall

49
Q

which placenta creta can result in placental attachment to rectum or bladdder

A

placenta percreta

50
Q

what are potential consequences of placenta accreta/increta/percreta

A

no separation fo placenta after delivery - postpartum bleeding - SHEEHAN SYNDROME

51
Q

what is placenta previa

A

attachment of placenta to lower uterine segment over (or < 2 cm from) internal cervical os

52
Q

what is major rf for placenta previa

A

previosu c section

53
Q

what are other rf for placenta previa

A

multiparity

prior C section

54
Q

painless third trimester bleeding
soft and tender uterus
no fetal distress

A

placenta previa

60
Q

what is vasa previa commonly associated with
