Module 19 Obstetric & Pediatric Flashcards
What lung volume decreases during pregnancy? By how much
FRC decreases 20%
Is MAC increased or decreased during pregnancy
Decreased by 1/3
Does pregnancy mimic an obstructive or restrictive defect
Restrictive FEV1/FVC is normal
When is cardiac output greatest with pregnancy
After delivery for next few weeks
What hematologic changes are seen in pregnant patient
Plasma volume increases 25-40% leading to dilutional anemia
Pregnancy effects on coagulation
Accelerated but compensated coagulation
Increased platelet turnover
Increased clotting
Increased fibrinolysis
At term uterine blood flow is how much of cardiac output
10%
Painless vaginal bleeding during second or third trimester associated with
Placenta prevails
Painful vaginal bleeding is associated with
Placental abruption
Placenta invades and is confined to the myometrium
Placenta increta
Placenta adheres to myometrium without invasion or passage through uterine muscle
Placenta accreta
Placenta invades and may penetrate the myometrium, uterine serous, or other pelvic structure
Placenta percreta
AFE treatment
Atropine
Ondansetron
Ketorolac
PIH combined with new onset proteinuria after 20 weeks gestation
Pre-eclampsia
Hallmark of preeclampsia
Abnormal placental implantation
Definitive treatment for preeclampsia
Delivery of fetus
Drug of choice for preeclampsia and eclampsia
Magnesium sulfate
Preeclampsia in presence of seizures
Eclampsia
HELLP stands for
Hemolysis
Elevated Liver Enzymes
Low Platelets
Drug shown to improve maternal outcome in HELLP
Dexamethasone 10mg every 2 hours increases number of platelets
Magnesium sulfate dosing for preeclampsia/eclampsia
4-6g over 30 minutes followed by infusion 1-2g/hr
Normal magnesium level
1.8-2.5mg/dL
Loss of DTR at what magnesium level
7-12 mg/dL
Deceleration indicated head compression
Early deceleration
Deceleration indicated cord compression
Variable deceleration
What is the rule of 60s
Variable deceleration associated with fetal asphyxia if fetal HR decreases by 60bpm, greater than 60 seconds, persists for more than 60 seconds
Deceleration indicating uteroplacental insufficiency and fetal compromise. Occurs at peak of contraction
Late deceleration
BAD
How does maternal blood circulate through the placenta
Uterine arteries (2) in Spurted into intervillous space Passes fetal villi Drains back into urethane vein
Uterine blood flow formula
UBF = (Uterine MAP - Uterine vein pressure) / uterine vascular resistance
Predominant adrenergic receptor in Uterine vasculature
Alpha adrenergic receptors
3 factors that decrease uterine blood flow
Maternal hypotension
Uterine vasculature vasoconstriction (Neo)
Uterine contraction
