Notes from OB review day Flashcards
Josh's guide to mastering the pregos effects on her body systems (taken from review day)
Coags/Hem system
Plasma volumes increase how much during pregnancy
1000-1500ml
Coags/Hem system
what happens to albumin
decrease amounts
Coags/Hem system
drugs that are protein bound like propofol, will have what occur as a result of pregnancy
An increased amount of free drug.
decreased amounts of albumin
Coags/Hem system
what happens to
Hct
Plasma coag factors
Hct- decreases (dilutional)
Coags- increased amount of coag factors
Coags/Hem system
what happens to platelets
up and down
* not much change*
********************** Coags/Hem system in recap what occurs to the following RBC Plasma Hct Hgb Coags
RBC-- increase 20% Plasma-- increase 40-50% Hct- decrease Hgb- decrease Coags- increases
Pulmonary system MV TV RR PCO2
MV- increased (up to 50%
TV- increased (up to 40%)
RR- increased (up to 10%)
PCO2- decreased
Pulmonary system
what type of OETT do you want to use with the prego
a smaller one!!
Pulmonary system
what type of airway don’t you want to use in the prego?
Nasal trumpets
Pulmonary system
how long must you preoxygenate the prego
a full 5 min
Pulmonary system
what are the prego’s prone to doing during intubation
desaturation quickly
Pulmonary system
what happens to FRC
decreases 20%
Pulmonary system what happens to the FEV VC and closing capacity
no changes
Pulmonary system
what occure to lung compliance
Nothing really (very minimal changes)
Pulmonary system
what is the first thing we do to the prego on the OR table? what next? then what?
LUD
then O2
then other equipment
GI system
what happens to the anatomical location of the stomach during pregnancy
pushed up (towards head) and a 45 degree twist
GI system
why is the prego at an increased risk for aspiration
decreased LES tone
decreased gastric motility
GI system
what is the incidence of GERD in the prego
30-50%
GI system
what bad syndrome can the prego get from aspiration? and what are it’s characteristics?
Mendelson’s syndrome
low Ph
High gastric volume
is chemical pneumonitis caused by aspiration during anaesthesia, especially during pregnancy.
GI system
what is given to prevent aspiration in the prego
Zantac (ranitidine) H2 antagonist
Reglan (Metoclopramide)
Bicitra (non-particulate antacid)
GI system
most common sugery with prego
Appendectomy
Cholecystectomy
GI system
all prego’s are an aspiration risk what 3 things must we always do in regard to intubating these women
prophylaxis (aspiration)
RSI
Sellickic’s maneuver (BURP) (don’t say cricord pressure use your big boy words)
Hepatic System
what happens to LFTs, bilirubin, alk phos with pregnancy
no to minimal changes
Hepatic System
what is a good test to asses for cholecystitis
bile acids
Hepatic System
what happens to AST and ALT
increased (pathological causes)
