18
Q

AFP in detection of NTDs

  • What is Diagnostic Level?
A

High maternal serum AFP > 2 multiples of median for appropriate week of gestation.

19
Q

US in detection of NTDs

A
20
Q

US in detection of NTDs

  • Advantages
A
  • Diffrentiate NTD fron non-neurological causes of elevated AFP e.g. omphalocele
21
Q

Amniocentesis in detection of NTDs

A
22
Q

Amniocentesis in detection of NTDs

  • Uses
A
  • Show elevated AFP between 12-15 week earlier than serum AFP
23
Q

Amniocentesis in detection of NTDs

  • Disadvantages
A

Carries 6% risk of abortion and fetal loss

24
Q

Amniocentesis in detection of NTDs

  • Indications
A
  1. Pregnancies subsequent to NTD
  2. Elevated AFP with Normal US
25
Q

Factors associated with Increased Risk of NTDs

A
26
Q

The only most significant risk factor associated with NTDs is

A

Folic Acid

27
Q

Prophylaxis against NTDs

A
28
Q

Nursing Care in NTDs

A
28
Q

TTT aspects of NTDs

A
  • Nursing Care
  • General Assessment
  • Neurological Pre-operative Assessment
29
Q

Nursing Care in NTDs

  • Ex & INVx
A

Like any other neonate with congenital anomalies efforts should be towards careful Ex and INVx to rule out other anomalies.

30
Q

Nursing Care in NTDs

  • Position
A

Nursed in Trendlenburg position aiming to & pressure & keep it away from cystic lesion.

31
Q

Nursing Care in NTDs

  • Precautions
A
  1. Much care not to disturb intact membrane (high incidence of infection & urgent surgery).
  2. Cover lesion with Gauze ring soaked with normal saline or Ringer solution to prevent dryness
  3. Avoid antiseptics e.g. betadine as it is Neurotoxic affecting functioning roots in placode
  4. Avoid mechanical trauma to placode
  5. No need for ultra frequent dressing
32
Q

General Assessment in NTDs

A
33
Q

General Assessment in NTDs

  • Ruptured or not?
A
  • Ruptured lesions start prophylactic antibiotic & Urgent surgery
34
Q

General Assessment in NTDs

  • Site & Site of Defect
A

For proper planning for closure

35
Q

General Assessment in NTDs

  • Neonatologist
A
  • Other anomalies (average 2-2.5% additional anomalies)
  • Condition oppose with surgery e.g. lung immaturity
36
Q

General Assessment in NTDs

  • Bladder
A
  • Start with on regular urinery catheterization
  • Urological consultation
37
Q

General Assessment in NTDs

  • Orthopedic
A

For sever kyphotic or scoliotic deformities and hip, knee and foot deformities

38
Q

Neurological Pre-Operative Assessment in NTDs

A
39
Q

Neurological Pre-Operative Assessment in NTDs

  • Spontaneous Movement of LL
A

Which associated with better outcome.

40
Q

Neurological Pre-Operative Assessment in NTDs

  • Lowest Level of Neurological Function
A
  • Response to painful stimuli
  • Differentiate () voluntary movement from reflex movement→ which is stereotyped and not persist after stimulus
41
Q

Neurological Pre-Operative Assessment in NTDs

  • Other Neurological Assossiations
A
