MFM Flashcards
What are the teratogen findings for coumadin (warfarin)
nasal hypoplasia
skeletal abnormalities
stippled calcification of multiple epiphyses.
- due to inhibition of the formation of gamma-carboxyl residues from glutamyl residues, reducing protein binding with calcium.
What are the finding of fetal phenytoin syndrome
growth deficiency
intellectual disability
epicanthal folds
hypertelorism
a short nose with anteverted nostrils
what test should be done to pregnant women in 3rd trimester exposed to hepatitis A
Anti-HAV IgM
what are gestational complications of Hepatitis A in 2nd and 3rd TM
Premature contractions
Placental separation
PROM
what should be given to mom-baby dyad with exposure to hepatitis A close to delivery?
hepatitis A immunoglobulin to mother and the neonate within 48 hours of delivery
- due to concern for nosocomial outbreak
What is the teratogen finding in thalidomide?
Phocomelia- usually 1 limb commonly left sided upper extremity (hand directly attached to the trunk)
Vials of Rhogam for feto-maternal hemorrhage
Number of vials of anti-RhD IgG
=(volume of fetal blood [mL])/(30 mL)
- fetal blood based on KB
- Percentage of fetal cells x 50
- Average blood volume = Patient weight (kg) * (Average blood volume in mL/kg)
Pregnancy management based on BPP
BPP
- 8 or 10: continued routine surveillance and expectant obstetrical management of the pregnancy.
- 6:
- At term gestation, prompt delivery.
- Preterm, a BPP of 6 or less supports repeat testing in 6 to 24 hours
- 4 or less: delivery of the fetus.
When to administer Rhogam
- 28 weeks
- Within 72 hours of birth, if infant is Rh D positive and patient is not sensitized
- All invasive diagnostic procedures such as CVS and amniocentesis if fetus may be Rh D positive
- Any concern for fetal-maternal hemorrhage (consider check KB)
What passes by simple diffusion
O2, CO2, H2O, Na, Cl, lipids, fat sol vit, most med
What passes placenta by facilitated diffusion
Glucose
What passes placenta by active transport
-against a gradient
AA, Ca, phos, Mg, Fe, Io, water sol vit
what passes placenta by bulk flow
hydrostatic/ osmotic gradient
H2O dissolved electrolyte
What passes placenta by pinocytosis
- IgG
- start 2nd TM, most 3rd TM
- engulfed, packed or transferred across the cell
Compounds that cross placenta
- bilirubin
- ASA, coumadin
- Dilantin, valproate
- Alcohol
- T3, T4 small amt
- TRH, Io
- Maternal IgG
- Maternal steroids:L beta and dexamethasone
Ca that has placental metz
melanoma, leukemia, lymphoma, Breast Ca,Lung Ca, sarcoma
- rarely fetal metz
where does choriocarcinoma metz to
lungs
vagina
What are the short-term complications of growth-restricted fetuses occur soon after birth.
- respiratory distress
- meconium aspiration syndrome
- hypoglycemia
- polycythemia, hyperviscosity
- non-physiological hyperbilirubinemia
- sepsis
- hypocalcemia
- poor thermoregulation
- immunological incompetence.
Associated with absent fetal nasal bone
trisomy 21
Condition associated with cystic hygroma
50% fetal aneuploidy (T21, T18, turners)
Euploid- structural heart disease, skeletal dysplasia
- need fetal echo and offer CVS
Interpretation quad screen
Cell source for fetal cell free DNA
- from apoptosis of placental syncytiotrophoblasts
- still screening test
- collected anytime after 9 weeks
