Q

Placenta - creates a resistance
2nd and 3rd trimesters: pregnancy exerts a diabetogenic effect on the maternal metabolic status - pseudo diabetic effect on woman’s body - someone already diabetic need more insulin in these trimesters; need less in end first and beginning 2nd trimester; by time viability until delivery need lot more inulin because of placenta - high levels of progesterone and estrogen making harder to control those BG
Already diabetic: Edu: diet (collab with endocrinologist or PCP on management of DM), on go up continually on insulin - BG going up

Q

Occurs in women who have pre-existing disease
After birth: Dive - no more placenta; estrogen and progesterone tanks; very conservative managing her - become hypoglycemic easily; often have insulin drips
Almost all of these patients are insulin-dependent - will be in pregnancy

Q

Fetal development first trimester - everything is forming; all organ sys; 13th week - have everything
When find out pregnant - halfway through first trimester - maybe 4-6 weeks
Not had well controlled BG - affect development of fetus - high BG - affects fetal development - potential congenital anomalies - imp maintain norm BG esp first trimester (risk for: heart issues, cleft palate)

Q

Deep dive: Fam hx, med hx, OB hx, same labs as reg woman
Interview
Physical examination
Laboratory tests - diabetic 2 more
Baseline renal function - diabetes screws up kidneys; pee more because GFR higher; kidney damage - lots issues - extra strain on kidneys - make sure kidneys not destroyed by diabetes
Glycosylated hemoglobin A1C - check q3months - check first come in
Check BG every time
Check urine - spilling glucose and ketones
Patient needs much more frequent monitoring
Diet and exercise - careful about this
Management more careful
Strict records of what eating; glucose log and food diary - reviewing - see if need increase insulin/change diet
Insulin therapy/Monitoring blood glucose levels
Urine testing
Determination of birth date and mode of birth - hopefully vaginal but sometimes not; tend not go to 40 weeks; happy get to 36 weeks; gestational related conditions: pre-eclampsia - DM affects CV sys - watch them and fetal development closely to see how are; want vaginal and close to term
Complications requiring hospitalization

Q

Make sure not go hypoglycemic once delivers placenta
Insulin requirements decrease substantially
Encourage breastfeeding - burning glucose; less insulin after delivery; best for baby; requirements half as much as someone bottle feed - lactate have burn calories
Contraception
Careful giving extra estrogen - no cardiac involvement - can have estrogen in contraceptives but not if breastfeeding
DM rough on body and if pregnant - hard on body, kidneys, and heart - couple years to recover

Q

Same as pre-gestational DM; not as huge risk congenital issues - later in pregnancy; not in formation of fetus
Biggest issue: Really big babies - macrosomia happens often - having learn manage BG; cannot manage BG well
Huge kid: Everything in baby is still 37 weeks - baby get tons fat with all sugar; babies not DM - pancreas killing it - concerned when cord clamped BG is going to tank: <40; 45 is normal in neonate - concern hypoglycemia - managed by NICU to keep BG up = hypoglycemia - brain screwed up

Q

Diet and exercise
Monitoring blood glucose levels
Insulin therapy
Fetal surveillance
1 hr oral glucose changes - easiest and most tolerated; 50 g glucose - drink whole thing - suck in 10-15 min - 1 hr after finish - draw labs; do not have to fast; <140 is standard - if pancreas working against placenta; bring something with protein after - feel like going to pass out after
3 hr glucose challenge test if 1 hr >140 = comes in another day; draw fasting - should be <95; then 100g of carb in 10 min - 1 hr later draw lab, 2 hr draw another, 3 hr draw another; feel like crud; any 2 abnormal - then gestational DM: typ about 25 weeks
Pregnancy in 3rd trimester - harder on body - baby packing weight - she will gain little bit weight - she having take BG all day; change way eats: salads, lean meats, no sugar, no sweet tea, lifestyle change in hardest part of pregnancy - huge adjustment; never had take BG - managing BG when babies getting big hard manage - baby getting bigger not usually through vagina
Oral hypoglycoemic agent
SQ insulin

Cortical brain spasm - headache (ask - unrelieved); Hyperreflexia - DTRs
Retinal arteriolar spasm (blurred vision - starting losing peripheral vision, floaters)
Hyperlipidemia - labs
Liver ischemia - labs; palpate liver: pain - not good blood supply - RUQ pain (aching all time)
Intravascular coag: clots - high risk clots because high estrogen - hemolysis RBCs - H&H drop; platelet adhesion - low platelet count because clumping, DIC (lots clots); increased factor VIII antigen - seeing labs
Looking lot labs
Listen to lungs and heart - increased permeability and cap leakage - Edema (pulm and gen edema): 3rd trimester: LE; issue around face, eyes (perioribital edema), arms
Dyspnea - wet lungs
Hemoconcentration - all sudden going up - getting worse increased H&H

+ pregnancy test - US and see pregnancy outside uterus - nothing in uterus - outside uterus - see swollen fallopian tube
End pregnancy
Management

A

Ectopic pregnancy

86
Q

Abdominal pain
Delayed menses
Abnormal vaginal bleeding

A

Clinical manifestations - Ectopic pregnancy

87
Q

Medical
Surgical

A

Management - Ectopic pregnancy

88
Q

Methotrexate
Try meds first
Drug to help end pregnancy and reabsorbed into body

A

Medical

89
Q

Salpingectomy - take out pregnancy and tube - not take out tube end up with scar tissue and get another ectopic pregnancy in there

A

Surgical

90
Q

This is not a human
Looks like tumor - mass cells cont divide and get bigger
Empty genetic material - starting divide - somatic cells getting bigger; not human being or viable pregnancy
Mass of cells - molar pregnancy - uterus big quickly
Clinical manifestations
Management
At risk of getting cancer in uterus: choriocarcinoma - where corion would have been - education piece - mourn loss: still miscarriage: understand not human but edu biggest risk developing type cancer - measuring Hcg for next year - not get prengnacy for next year - good contraception for next year - monitor her for that - cannot monitor that if pregnant
Cancerous issue

A

Gestational trophoplastic disease (hydatidiform mole/molar pregnancy)

91
Q

Vaginal bleeding
Positive Hcg - probable sign of pregnancy
Significantly larger uterus

A

Clinical manifestations - Gestational trophoplastic disease (hydatidiform mole/molar pregnancy)

92
Q

Most pass spontaneously
Most need do DNC - suction out
Suction curettage is safe, rapid, and effective if necessary
Induction of labor with oxytocin or prostaglandins not recommended - not induce to give birth to mass cells

A

Management - Gestational trophoplastic disease (hydatidiform mole/molar pregnancy)

93
Q

Placenta attached low in uterus and covering internal os
Does not hurt
Maternal and fetal outcomes
Diagnosis and medical management

A

Late pregnancy bleeding: placenta previa

94
Q

Abnormal placental attachment
Excessive bleeding - ask if painful; belly hard when bleeding; happens every now and then - confirm this - US
Fetal risks include malpresentation, preterm birth, fetal anemia, and congenital anomalies
Complete: Edu - nothing in vagina; more bleeding
partial/marginal - seen early in pregnancy - placenta shifts away where can do vaginal
Cannot deliver placenta before baby

A

Maternal and fetal outcomes - Late pregnancy bleeding: placenta previa

95
Q

Standard diagnosis is transabdominal ultrasound examination
Management includes:
Expectant management: observation and bed rest
Will have do Cesarean birth
Home care
Active management

A

Diagnosis and medical management - Late pregnancy bleeding: placenta previa

96
Q

Placenta pulled away and bleeding away from it
Can do vaginal delivery - labor dicey at times
Often pouring blood - her and baby losing volume quickly
All high risk things can lead to this
Motor vehicle collision/falling down stairs is this
Partial separation - vaginal complete - quickly get out baby
Premature separation of placenta (Abruptio placentae)

A

Late pregnancy bleeding: abruption

97
Q

Incidence and etiology
Classification systems
Clinical manifestations
Maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes
Management

A

Premature separation of placenta (Abruptio placentae) - Late pregnancy bleeding: abruption

98
Q

Grades: 1 (mild - partial separation), 2 (moderate - partial separation with apparent hemorrhage), 3 (severe - complete separation)

A

Classification systems - Premature separation of placenta (Abruptio placentae) - Late pregnancy bleeding: abruption

99
Q

Painful vaginal bleeding
Hard fundus
Hurts very badly
Bleeding in the muscle
Uterus contracts - contraction not stop and until baby out and stop bleeding

A

Clinical manifestations - Premature separation of placenta (Abruptio placentae) - Late pregnancy bleeding: abruption

100
Q

Expectant
Active

A

Management - Premature separation of placenta (Abruptio placentae) - Late pregnancy bleeding: abruption

101
Q

Clotting everywhere; cont clot - use up all clotting factors then bleed
Pathologic form of diffuse clotting causing widespread external and internal bleeding
Triggered by large amounts of tissue thromboplastin (placental abruption or dead fetus)
Fetal death, preeclampsia, aburption
Triggered by widespread damage to vascular integrity (severe preeclampsia, HELLP, and gram negative sepsis)
complication

A

DIC - Clotting disorders in pregnancy

102
Q

Significance
Maternal physiologic characteristics
Fetal physiologic characteristics
Nursing care management

A

Trauma during pregnancy

103
Q

Special considerations for mother and fetus
Physiologic alterations of pregnancy - Role her to side - not have on back; on side; blood volume - normal lab values; appendix located; estrogen and progesterone; vascularlization; adapt to trauma; BLS - not same way - belly in way
Presence of fetus
Fetal survival depends on maternal survival - sometimes baby can be oximeter how well CPR going
Pregnant woman must receive immediate stabilization and care for optimal fetal outcome

A

Significance

104
Q

Requires strategies adapted for appropriate resuscitation, fluid therapy, positioning, assessments, and other interventions
Because adaptations - how change care
