Q

When does isoimmunization occur?

A

Rh D-negative woman is pregnant with a fetus that is Rh D-positive. Can cause an antibody response against fetal RBCs

Q

How do you diagnose isoimmunization?

A

Test for antibodies

The higher the titer, the more significant the antibody response

Q

How do you evaluate fetal anemia?

A

Amniotic fluid assessment of bilirubin levels
Loo for hydropic changes
Measure blood viscosity of MCA (will have increased flow)

16
Q

What is the Kell Antigen?

A

Results from a blood transfusion. Unique anemia results from destruction and suppression of hematopoietic precursor cells and hemolysis is limited

17
Q

What is where there is maternal-fetal incompatibility usually associated with mild fetal anemia and newborn hyperbilirubinemia. Not associated w/ severe fetal disease.

A

ABO hemolytic disease

18
Q

What is the proliferating tropoblast that gives rise to a layer of extraembryonic mesoderm on its intersurface (outer)

19
Q

What is the inner sac that develops at the dorsal surface of the embryonic dis forming a transparent sac that fills amniotic fluid.

20
Q

What is where each fetus is surrounded by an amnion and a chorion?

A

Diamnionic/ dichoronic

21
Q

What is where each fetus is surrounded by an amnion, but a single chorion?

A

Diamnionic/ monochoroionic

22
Q

What is where twins will share a common sac as the amnion and chorion have already developed?

A

monoamnionic/ monochorionic

23
Q

What is where there is arterial-venous anastomoses that forms between the fetus resulting in blood flow from one to another?

A

Twin-twin transfusion syndrome

24
Q

What is the name for the twin that has impaired growth, anemia, hypovolemia, oligohydramnios (from decreased urine output)?

A

Donor twin

25
Q

What is the twin that may have hypervolemia, HTN, polycythemia, CHF, can have polyhydramnios (due to increased urine output)

A

Recipient twin

26
Q

What is when fetal weight is less than 10th percentile for gestational age?

A

IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction)

27
Q

What is later onset IUGR usually realted to?

A

Decreased placental function and nutrient transport

28
Q

WHat usually causes IUGR?

A

placenta growth early and rapidly compared to the fetus; has large surface area

29
Q

Which type of IUGR is more commonly associated w/ heritable factors, immunologic abnormalities, chronic maternal disease, fetal infection, multiple pregnancies?

A

Early-onset IUGR

30
Q

What constitutes a IUGR diagnosis?

A

A discrepancy of more than 2 cm

DO an ultrasound for biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), femur length, abdominal circumference (AC)

31
Q

What syndrome is from the fetus’ attempt to compensate for poor placenta oxygen transfer by increasing the HCT o more than 5% resultin gin marked polycytehmia. Can lead to thrombosis, heart failure, hyperbilirubinemia.

A

Hyperviscosity syndrome

32
Q

What is where the infant weighs 4000-4500 grams or greater.

A

Fetal macrosomia

33
Q

What is an LGA infant?

A

Large for gestational age. >90%

34
Q

What is the best tool to r/o macrosomia?

A

Ultrasound
