27
Q

When client reports ruptured membrane

A

Always worry about prolapsed cord.

28
Q

Other signs in labour third trimester

A

Braxton hicks frequent

cervix softened, bloody show, sudden burst of energy - nesting, diarrhea rupture of membrane

29
Q

When should they go to the hospital?

A

contractions are 5 min apart or membrane rupture - prolapsed cord

30
Q

What is a nonstress test

A

two or more acceleration of 15 beats/min w/o fetal movement. Acceleration is when the fetal hr is abrupt increase greater tha 15 atleast 15 sec but come back to base at 2 minutes

each 15 sec last for 20 minutes should be reactive

31
Q

Biophysical test

A

Done in last tri at 28 weeks in high risk and BPP every week or even twice a week in 3rd tri

measurements obtained by ultrasound two points.

parameters are hr, muscle tone movement, breathing, and amount of amniotic fluid

observation time is 30 minutes 8-10 good, 6 worry, repeat 24hrs, 4 consider delivery

32
Q

Contraction stress test oxytocin

A

For high risk pregnancies, diabetics preeclampsia, to determine if stress can be handled with uterine contraction

33
Q

OXY challenge

A

if blood flow decreases to cause hypoxia fhr will decrease from base leading to decelerations meaning uteroplacental insufficiency

this should be negative performed at 28 weeks results are good for 1 week.

34
Q

Types of decelerations

A

early decel - not bad, benigh caused by head compression hypoxia
late decel -bad - uterplacental insufficiency
varciable decel - bad - umbilical cord compression

35
Q

True labor

A

regular contractions and increase, with discomfort to back and abdomen

36
Q

False labour

discomfort in abdomen
and pain decreases with activity

38
Q

A 
mag sul
betamethsone
terbutaline
indomethacin
nifedipine
39
Q

Epidural Anaesthesia

A

position on left side legs flexed, stage 1 3-4 cm dilated no headache

complication headache

iv bolus ns / lr to fight hypotension

position in semi fowlers to preven vena cava compression (if done is wil decrease CO and BP)
alternate side to side hourly
check urine output

40
Q

Client receiving oxytocin

A

high risk
one to one
Contraction rate 1q 2-3 min lasting 60 seconds
d/c if contractions are too often, too long, fetal distress

41
Q

Complications w/ oxytocin

A

Hypertonic labour
detal destress / late dec - STOP oxy
Uterine rupture
- may becaused by previous csection, vbac, uterine surgery, trauma, difficult forcep delivery.

42
Q

Emergency Delivery

A

Prince william will tell kate to blow and pant to prevent urge to push wash his hands elevate HOB , place a clean cloth underneath and dont touch vaginal area , as head crowns tear amniotic sac and then place hand on fetal head apply gentle pressure , when head is out check for cord around neck and ease the shoulder keep head baby down , dry baby , cover baby and place on abdomen. wait for placenta. Inspect placenta and tie the tip , 4 inches near baby and the second 8 inches from baby navel.

43
Q

Postpartum assessment

A

Temperature on the first four hours is ELEVATED may be 38, bp will be stable, HR may be low 50-70 after delivery, high could indicate hemorrhage. Breasts are usually soft for 2-3 days and then the abdomen is soft and lose, uterus fundus midline is 2-3 fingers below umbilicus and will rise to level or one above a few after after birth.

Pp hemorrherage for early

A

Early 500 mls of blood in first 24 hrs, with 10% drop of hematocrit meaning both have to be present

Q

PP Late hemorrhage

A

24-6 weeks caused by

Dries fall off 10-14 days , clean with alcohol or N/S fold diaper below cord and do not immerse the baby as it will cause infection

60
Q

Pathologic Jaundice and Physiologic

A

Patho = First 24 hrs Usually means rh/abo incompatibility

Physio = After 24 hrs
Due to normal hemolysis of excess RBC releasing bilirubin and immaturity of liver

61
Q

RH positive blood comes in contact with moms neg rh

A

Occurs when placenta sep at birth either miscarriage , amniocentesis or trauma and mother attacks it as foreign

62
Q

Neg effects of RH- and Rh positive mom coming into contact with future baby

A

Hemolysis, babys rbc tries to compensate by releasing a lot of RBC. (erythroblastosis fetalis)

63
Q

indirect coombs and direct coombs

A

done with mother to measure antibodies in the blood

Direct coomb done with baby to tell if antibodies are stuck via cord

64
Q

Trxt for RH and prevention

A

Ultrasound
Rhogam give once 28 weeks, and again within 72 hrs after birth, and with bleeding episode
