GYN 2 Flashcards
Urine pregnancy test evaluates for pregnancy by looking for ?
HcG
Urine pregnancy test are _______, rapid and inexpensive, with a positive test threshold __________ ( of HcG in the serum), characterized by a color change.
reliable
between 5 and 50 mIU/mL
**not a lot of false positives
✪most common method to confirm pregnancy ?
Urine pregnancy test
**MC method is the urine test **
Urinalysis evaluates for ?
glucose and protein
** glucose for gestational diabetes
protein for preeclampsia - kidney damage - make sure we are not missing it **
Serum Beta-HCG testing qualitative ?
Measures whether the hormone is present
**yes or no
Serum Beta-HCG testing quantitative ?
Measures how much is present
infertility, in vito fertilization, twin gestation ( part of trisomy 21 screening exam )
3-4 weeks - average HcG is a big range ?
500-10,000
week _ of pregnancy is week of menses,
1
between _______ is ovulation and fertilization ( so when you get pregnancy you are already in week three of your pregnancy)
11-14 days
** week 4 is when you can finally start testing **
Landmarks for gestational age and beta-HCG by TV sonography: Discriminatory zone - weeks from LMP? Beta HCG ?
5-6
1500-200
- *“discriminatory zone” - you can see something there
- *
Landmarks for gestational age and beta-HCG by TV sonography: own notes ?
these tests are used in conjunction with US to look for ectopic , etc.
Landmarks for gestational age and beta-HCG by TV sonography: yolk sac - weeks from LMP? Beta HCG ?
6
2500
Landmarks for gestational age and beta-HCG by TV sonography: Upper discriminatory zone - weeks from LMP? Beta HCG ?
6-7
3000
Landmarks for gestational age and beta-HCG by TV sonography: Fetal pole - weeks from LMP? Beta HCG ?
7
5000
Landmarks for gestational age and beta-HCG by TV sonography: Fetal heart motion - weeks from LMP? Beta HCG ?
8
17,000
quant is 3000 and nothing on the US or in fallopian tubes - get a ?
Lap to look for the ectopic
high quant (20,000) and no fetal activity ( still yolk sac) then is will probably be a ?
miscarriage
Cervical Preps: Specific to use during pregnancy ?
Group B strep
Fern test
Fetal fibronectin
Group B strep:_____ of all pregnant women are colonized
10-30%
GBS screening between _______ weeks’ gestation.
35 and 37
_ GBS culture at 35–37 weeks, or _ urine culture for GBS anytime during the pregnancy, the patient is treated with abx at the time of ?
+
+
admission in labor
- *to prevent infection in the newborn
- *
Fern test: Assessment for ?
rupture of membranes (ROM) - water breakage
Fern test uses ________ paper or just a glass slide
nitrazine
Normal vaginal pH in pregnancy is ?
4.5-6.0
Amniotic fluid pH is ?
7.0-7.5 ( close to water)
NL pH of urine ?
pH of urine - 6-7.5 something ( more acidic then the amniotic fluid)
Fern Test own notes ?
this is good to evaluated for fluid secretions etc. or ig you thing there might be ROM
electrolytes and protein in the fluid on a glass slide and dried up will make a ferrying pattern
what is Fetal Fibronectin?
May help with implantation of fertilized egg
Fetal Fibronectin NL cannot be identified in vaginal secretions after ?
22 weeks gestation
Fetal Fibronectin Concentrations are ____ in amniotic fluid
high
Fetal Fibronectin own notes ?
this is a protein , glue that holds the amniotic sac to the Uterus
Fetal Fibronectin: when is it used ?
Pregnant women whose membranes are intact and cervical dilation is less than 3 cm.
Women who have signs or symptoms of labor
**if we think a women at risk of preterm labor
27 weeks and they start to dilate - run this test - when you get the ungluing of the U then the protein will be elevated\
not a good predictive value , it is a clue not a definitive answer **
Negative Fetal Fibronectin means ?
labor is unlikely within the next 2 weeks
**better for sure answer then a positive
Positive Fetal Fibronectin means ?
If positive- indeterminate
**heighten suspicion of early labor so maybe make them have bed rest or steroid for fetus lung development
Routine Prenatal Tests: early pregnancy - initial visit ?
Blood type and Rh status Rh antibody screen Hemoglobin/ Hgb electrophoresis Cystic fibrosis screening (not universal) HIV (offered) RPR Rubella titer Hepatitis B Chlamydia/Gonorrhea
Rh antibodies own notes ?
during birth some of the Rh + blood goes into the mother blood stream and form maternal ABS and during the second preg the ABS from the mother attack the fetus if it is Rh +
Rh Testing initial material blood type, Rh + ?
Done
- *blood can tolerate a - fetus - your good
- *
Rh Testing initial material blood type, Rh - ?
Needs Rh antibody tests ( to see if they have other ABS circulating)
** but a neg woman will make the ABS **
Rh antibody testing: ICT - Rh- women without Rh Ab should receive _____ at __ wks gestation
RhoGam
28
**Rogam at 28 weeks so they dont form ABS during labor and birth **
Rh antibody testing: IDCT - Rh- women with _____ should be followed closely to ensure that the fetus does not develop ______
Rh Ab
hemolytic anemia
Direct coombs test: own notes ?
testing the baby sample ( baby already has hemolytic anemia and has M ABS attacking RBC and we put it in reagent that has anti-ABS and they cause agglutination)
Indirect coombs test: own notes ?
test the maternal sample (maternal blood has ABS circulating, we take Rh+ RBC and mix it with her blood and the ABS will stick, it is then mixed with anti-ABS - agglutination)
H&H: Women with anemia should receive __ supplementation and repeat testing after ?
Fe
6 weeks
**cause iron deficit anemia is common during pregnancy **
H&H: Consider_______ with women at high risk of genetic hemoglobinopathy
Hgb electrophoresis
