LESSON 17 part 2 Flashcards
Used to ‘plot the birth weight’
Colorado Intrauterine Growth Chart
What term: born after ‘beginning of week 38 before week 42’
Term Infants
Born less than 37th week
Preterm
Born after the onset of week 43
Postterm
Infants whose ‘BW’s fall between the 10th and 90th percentiles of weight for their age’ regardless of gestational age
Appropriate for Gestational Age (AGA)
Fall below the 10th percentile of weight for their age
Small for Gestational Age / SGA
Fall above the 90th percentile of weight for their age
Large for Gestational Age / LGA
Infants weighing <2500g
Low Birth Weight
Infant weighing 1000 to 1500 g
Very Low Birth Weight
Infant weighing from 500 to 1000g
Extremely Very Low Birth Weight
They are ‘small for their age’ because they have experienced ‘intrauterine growth retardation’ or failed to grow at the expected rate in utero
Small for Gestational Age / SGA
What is the normal blood vessels of a umbilical cord
2 arteries 1 vein
What gestational age: fundal height is progressively ‘less than expected’
SGA
What gestational age: poor biophysical profile
SGA
What gestational age: head is bigger than the body
SGA
What gestational age: skull sutures may be widely separated from lack of normal bone growth
SGA
What gestational age: abdomen may be sunken
SGA
What gestational age: cord appears dry and may be stained yellow
SGA
Laboratory findings of Small Gestational Age:
High Hemetocrit
Acrocyanosis
Hypoglycemia
Common problem in the laboratory findings of SGA
Hypoglycemia
Weight is above the 90th percentile on an intrauterine growth chart
LGA
What gestational age: cs may be necessary due to cpd
LGA
What gestational age: do a non stress test
LGA
The causes of this are poor nutrition, pregnant adolescent, placental anomaly, mothers who smoke or take narcotics, intrauterine infection, and chromosomal abnormalities
SGA
