Mod 6 Flashcards
Mean sac diameter
MSD
Used when embryo is not identified
Used from 4-8 weeks
What do you measure in MSD
Length+width+height \ 3
What do you have to ensure you see when see the MSD
Double decidual reaction
Why is the MSD compared to the embryo
Useful in early diagnosis of oligohydraminos
What does oligohydraminos mean
Low fluid
What is the formula for calculating oligohydraminos
MSD(mm)-CRL(mm)
When is the oligohydraminos calculated and what does the calculation have to be less than for oligohyraminos to be suspected
5.5-9 weeks
<5mm
What is calculated/assessed in the 1st trimester scan
MSD
CRL
Nuchal lucency
How much does the gestational sac grow each day
1.1 mm / day
An EV scan should have what kind of MSD
8mm if yolk is seen
16mm if embyro is see
A transabdominal scan should have what MSD
8mm-yolk seen
16mm- embryo seen
When is a CRL used
Between 6 and 13 weeks
What is the most accurate measurement to predict gestational age +/- 3 days
CRL
Where do you measure on a CRL
Tip of the head to the end of the rump
What do you not include on a CRL
Yolk sac
What position should the fetus be in for a CRL and what position is the probe in
Neutral position
Probe is midline sag
What are the US findings with an ectopic
No IUP PUL (pregnancy of unknown location) Free fluid in posterior cul de sac Lt adnexal mass Fetal pole identified in mass with FH seen
What does the free fluid in the posterior cul de sac indicate
Pregnancy has ruptured
What is the definition
A pregnancy that occurs outside the uterine cavity
What is the classical clinical triad
- Pain
- Bleeding
- Adnexal mass
