Lifespan Flashcards
ABG changes in pregnancy
Ph same, 02 inc, co2 and bicarb decrease
Changes in preg: oxy hgb dissoc curve
Right shift to give 02 to fetus
Clotting changes in pregnancy
Mom makes more clot but breaks it down faster. Inc factors 1,7,8,9,10,12. Dec c+s. Inc fibrin breakdown. Dec 11,13.
Uterine blood flow: ml/min, %CO, dependent on what
700, 10. Map/co/vasc resistance, not autoregulated
Uterine blood flow calc
Uterine artery pressure-uterine venous pressure / uterine vascular resistance
Drug traits that favor placental transfer
Low molecular weight, high lipid solubility, unionized, nonpolar
Drugs w significant placental transfer
Local anesthetics, iv anes, vas, opioids, benzos, atropine, BBs, mag
Drugs w no placental transfer
Nmbs, glyco, heparin, insulin
Cause of early, variable, and late decals
Early= head comp. variable= umbilical cord comp. late= maternal acidosis and preeclampsia
Things that reduce fetal hr variability
Cns depressant drugs, hypoxemia, fetal sleep, acidosis, anencephaly, cardiac anomalies
Mnemonic for fetal decels
Veal chop
Tier 2 and 3 for fhr
2= bradycardia or tachy. Some variability. Variable decels. 3= Brady, no baseline variability, late and variable, sinusoidal pattern
Side effects of mag
Pulm edema, hypotension, skel muscle weakness, inc potency nmbs, cns dep, reduced fx of ephedrine and phenylephrine
Tx for too much mag
Calcium, diuretics
SE of oxytocin
H20 retention, low na, low bp, tachycardia (reflex), coronary vasoconstriction
Methergine: s/e if given iv
Vasoconstriction, high bp, cerebral hemorrhage
Hemabate: second or third line, dose, se
Third. 250 mcg. Nvd, low or high bp
Ketorolac implication in preg
Nsaids contraindicated after 3rd trimester, can close ductus arteriosus
Best trimester for pregnant pt non emergent surgery
Second
When pregnant woman needs aspiration prophylaxis. When drugs need to be given
Beyond 14 weeks gestation. Bicitra 30 min preop and ranitidine 1 hr before
Differences b/w gest htn, preeclampsia, and eclampsia.
All occur after 20 weeks. Gest htn just htn. Pree= +proteinura and edema. Eclampsia= +seizures
Pt w preeclampsia develops what in abnormal amounts, overall effect
More thromboxane than prostacyclin. Vasoconstriction, inc plt agg, reduced placental bf
Diff b/w mild and severe preeclampsia: SBP, DBP, urine diff
Severe= >160/110. Inc proteinura and less 24 hr urine total than 500
Diff b/w mild and severe preeclampsia: edema, others
Severe has pulm edema, both have generalized. Severe: cyanosis, h/a, visual impairment, belly pain, hellp syndrome, less plt, impaired fetal growth
