Intro Flashcards
antal fødsler årligt i DK?
60.000
I hvilken uge er “survival weeks”
24 uger, her er overlevelsesraten 24%
Hvor mange kvinder udvikler graviditetsdiabetes
2-4% for graviditetsdiabetes
Hvor mange kvinder udvikler svangerskabsforgiftning
Svangerskabsforgiftning 2-4%
TIlhører placenta barnet eller moderen og hvorfor er det relevant?
Placenta bærer barnets kromosomer, og placenta er derfor noget fetus udvikler for at sikre overlevelse
Hvor meget vejer en nyfødt og en placenta
1/6 af barnets vægt, som ofte er ca. 3500 gram
The three major diseases entitities in obstetrics
- pre elcampsi
- fetal growth retardation (22% or less)
- preterm delivery (preterm and extreme preterm)
Hvad udveskles mellem mmoder og fetus
from mother to fetus
- nutrients
- minerals (iron)
from fetus to mother
- CO2
- waste products
Syncytiotrophoblaster proces what?
- hormoner
- ## DNA
Karakteriser placenta funktioner og vækst
- connection mellem moder og barn
- filter, cleaning, exchange regulation
- producerer mange hormoner
- founded around 6-8 uger
- primarily grows from week 20 onwards
- influences maternal metabolism –> GDM (gestitionel diabetes)
- perfused with 600-800 ml pr min ved fødselstidspunktet
Opdel placenter i trimestre
- op til (12-14)
- organonesis
- legal abortion - op til (XX)
- fetal growth
- survival becomes possible - op til (xx)
- fetal growth
Placentas anatomical issues
Placental malformations
- Tumors
- cancer like growth: mola, invasive mola, choriocarcinoma
- locally invasive growth - usually after C-section
fx by growing into the myometrium or into nabour organs
Types: accrete placenta, increte placenta, percrete placenta –> bleeding problems
Problems with accrete placenta and treatment
BLEEDING, up to 20 liters
- surgical treatment: B-lynch, vascular procedures, hysterectomi, removal of involved organs ie the bladder
Risk factors for accrete placenta
- previous surgery in the placenta
- resection of fibroma
- previous C-section
Hormones produces by the placenta
- østrogen (E2)
- progesteron
- human placenta lactogen (hPl)
- hCG
- hPGH (human placenta growth hormone)
- many more
Why do they develope GDM
Insulin resistance developes for all women during pregnancy
- makes pregnant woman a bit diabetic
- mainly from week 20
- ensures higher level of blood glucose –> as to make the fetus extract glucose
which hormone or substance: unknown
Beskriv kvinder med DM1 som bliver gravide
All receive insulin before preganacy. Around week 19-20 the insulin dosis requirements increases and hits 70% by week 33 and therefore all women af insulin resistant in the last week of pregnancy.
The blood glucose level reaches higher levels and steaper curves and to compensate for that the insulin production increases –> the insulin production is too much for the level of glucose and the fetus will extract the glucose from the blood –> more insulin are produces to compensate –> all women develops a degree of diabetes due to this compensation
Beskriv kort preeclampsia
2-7% of all pregnancies
Elevated blood pressure (>140/90) and proteinuri (or severe IUGR or severe maternal symptoms or.. sign of end organ damage!)
Rarely before week 22
Causes disturbances in the blood thrombotic/hæmostatic balance –> thrombosis –> organ affection (liver, brain, kidneys (proteinuria)) –> Ecalmpsia (fits, convulsions) due to thromber
Deadthly in less developed contries
Etiology: placenta! (paternal influence, ie immunerelated disorder where the mothers immunesystem reacts to the paternal antigenes) - affects the vessels of the placenta to contract and the mothers BP raises in compensation
The treatment is delivery of the placenta (and fetus)
Symptoms and findings of eclampsia
- elevated BP + proteinuria at a routine exam (screening!)
- rapid weight grain, oedema
- headache, visual distubances, oppressing sensation
- pain and discomfort located in the live area
- less fetal movements
Blood samples in case of preeclampsia
hæmoglobin, ALAT, LDH, creatinin, uric acid
–> due to hemolysis
Low platelet counts –> HELLP syndrome –> Hemolysis, Elevated Liver, Low Platelets
Complications later in life for GDM
High risk for developing DM2
Complication later in life for preeclampsia
High risk for hypertension and cardiovascular diseases
How is SGA defined
When the birthwegit is less than other newborns (less than 2.5%-10% depending on the country)
Define IUGR (intrauterin growth restriction)/ FGR (fetal growth restriction)
IUGR = FGR = when the fetus does not reach its genetic potential for growth
FGR is a continues thing while the SGA is a momental status
The two ways of being little
Genetic or pathological reasons
- SGA: the genetic trait
- IUGR: the pathological condition
Difficult to differentiate SGA from FGR
22% or less below the average of the gestational age
FGR etiology
- smoking
- syndromes, genetics
- infections
- elevated BP, preeclampsia
- maternal diseases (kidney disease, loss of protein, malabsorption, heart conditions and a low saturation,
- epigenetics
- unknown
The more the mother gains during the pregnancy, the larger the baby, especially lipids has an influence and at greenland/iceland, babies are bigger due to the intake of fish oils
What is essential when evaluating if the baby must be delivered
- flow! (can be measure in the umbilical cord, the head (middle cerebellar arteries) or the liver)
- biophysical profile (flows, movements, amniotic fluid)
Risk of repeated FGR pregnancy
20-30%
Depending on if it is isolated FGR or concurrent diseases
- preeaclempsia
- chromosomal abberations
- maternal diseases
hvad er cephalic presentation
Barnet der fødes i position med hovedet først
Benævn forløbet af en normal fødsel
- dilation and decent of the baby
- delivering of the baby
- delivering of the placenta
Present the stages of the birth
- stage (latent)
- dilation (until 10 cm) - stage (active)
- orificium 10 cm until birth of the child
- descent and pushing - stage
- delivering of the placenta (often delivered spontaneously in 15 min)
What to look for at the labor ward
- uterus, contractions
- fetal size, presentation (cephalic, ?), fetal heart rate
- vaginal examination (cervix length, position of the cervix, dilation of the orificium, leadnig part (head, butt,?), station (where in the pelvis), rotation of the head, membranes)
- partogram at “active labor”
- BP
Describe rotation of the baby during birth
looking at one side –> ending up looking at the mothers anal area (child stations of presentation video)
The posterior side are longer than the anterior??
Fingers above... \+3 = the level of the pelvic floor \+2 = the level behind spina ischadia \+1 = 0 = - 1 = -2 = mid pelvic level
What is progression in labour depending on
- power (contractions)
- passage (birth canal)
- passenger (fetus)
Why is birth a challenge for the baby
- reduced blood flow during contractions (lack of oxygen –> changes in fetal heart rate)
not a problem for a healthy fetus, but a problem in case of growth restriction
how to monitor fetal heart rate
- midwife stetoskope
- doppler UL
- EFM/CTG (high risk pregnancy, i.e. small baby, preeclampsia)
CTG = kardiotokografi
How to look at a EFM/CTG
top: fetal heart rate
bottom: contractions
look for:
- variability: small occilations
- de-/accelerations
