a PARTIAL deficiency of 21-hydroxylase

28

A

non-classic presents in adolescence instead of at birth. - irregular menses, hirsuitism, severe acne,

29
Q

do females with NON-classic CAH have electrolyte abnormalities?

Asthma has associated cough and chest tightness

31
Q

what is fetal dysmaturity syndrome?

A

Complication or post-term pregnancy - due to age-related placental changes -> SGA, thin neonate with loose skin and meconium stained amniotic fluid

32
Q

what causes aspiration (chemical) pneumonitis?

A

-the aspiration of gastric acid leading to direct tissue injury & lung parenchymal injury

33
Q

risk factors for chemical (aspiration) pneumonitis?

A
  • increased intraabdominal pressure
  • delayed gastric emptying
  • altered consciousness or sedation
  • endotracheal intubtion, nasogastric tube
  • gastric reflux
34
Q

presentation of chemical pneumonitis?

A
  • occurs within hours of the aspiration event
  • acute-onset dyspnea, low grade fever, hypoxemia
  • diffuse crackles on exam
  • chest xray infiltrates
35
Q

does chemical pneumonitis require antibiotics?

A

no - usually self resolves

36
Q

why is hypotension common after an epidural?

A

sympathetic fibers responsible for vascular tone may be blocked -> vasodilation and pooling

37
Q

how to treat hyptoension from an epidural?

A

IV fluids, putting woman in left lateral position to increase venous return, vasopressors if needed

39
Q

what is indomethicin used for in preterm labour?

A

tocolysis

40
Q

adverse effect of indomethicin for tocolysis?

A

oligohydramnios (decreases prostaglandin production leading to fetal vasoconstriction which can lead to decreased fetal renal perfusion and oligouria)

41
Q

which antibiotics are given for asymptomatic bacteruria in pregnancy?

A
  • cephalexin
  • amoxicillin-claluvonate
  • nitrofurantoin
  • fosfomycin
