O&G Flashcards
Cord Prolapse types
Occult- alongside baby
Overt- cord below baby
Risk Fx for cord prolapse
What stops head being in pelvis?? Premature Breech Abnormal lie Polyhydramnosis Grand multifarious 5+ labours Placenta prévia Second twin artificial rupture of membranes
Managing cord prolapse
Relieve pressure with position and manually elevate
Bladder catheterise and fill to elevate baby head
Tocolytics to stop contractions
Squished and cooling so will vasospasm avoid!
Signs of cord prolapse
Feral decels on Ctg
Feral bradycardia
Risk fx shoulder dystocia
Maternal Induction of labour Bmi >30 Diabetes Previous SD Prolonged labour first or 2nd stage Instrumented Augmented (syntocinon)
Fetal
Macrosomia (>5kg c section. 4.5kg discuss.
Pelvis shape at risk of shoulder dystocia
Out of gynacoid, anthropoid, platypelloid, Android:
Platypelloid and anthropoid
Complications of shoulder maternal and fetal
Maternal:Perineal tear
Baby: Baby clavicle and thumb fx
Contusion
Brachial plexus injury
Major causes of postpartum haemorrhage
4 T
Tone- uterine atony
Trauma- lower genital tract lac, anal sphincter injury
Tissue/ retained placenta
Thrombin- coagulopathy
Time for secondary PPH
24h-6weeks
Mx PPH
Help A-E Treat cause If trauma compress Tissue remove and check clots Thrombin give products Tone bimanual compression and uterotonics
Causes of retained placenta
Uterine atony
Multiple pregnancy
Placenta accrete
Amniotic fluid embolisation risks
Oxytocin C section AVB Stillbirth Polygydramnosis None ...
Signs amniotic fluid embolism
Tachy hypertensive fluid overloaded (cough, pulmonary oedema)
Maternal collapse (left lateral displacement)
How many mls a min does perimortem c section give mum
500ml a minute!!
Positioning in shoulder dystocia
McRoberts will already be in lithotomy
Which maternal conditions is ergometrine used in active management of 3rd stage labour
Severe hypertension
Severe cardiac disease
Manoeuvres in SD
Axial traction sideways
Delivery 6o clock posterior arm
Active management of 3rd stage vs 60mins definition of retained placenta
30mins if active 60mins if not
If woman needs transferred during cord prolapse what position
Left tilt in ambulance
All 4s is best when still
Cut off time by CS after CPR
4mins after collapse baby 5-6 mins after commenced CPR
Induction of labour
Augmentation
Use oxytocin
Start labour
Slow: 1:10 slow progress - give hormone
Terbutaline
Use if wait for theatre in cord prolapse
Delay contractions
Medical promotion of uterine contraction
Syntocinon
Ergometrine
Carboprost
Misoprostol
Reversible causes of collapse in pregnancy
Hypoxia hypothermia hyperkalaemia hypokalaemia hypovlycaemia
Toxin tension tamponade thrombus
Eclampsia (Mg toxicity) and ICH
Amniotic fluid embolism
Ie more bleeding risk and relative hypovolaemia
Peripartum cardiomyopathy, MI, aortic dissection
PE and other emboli
Suicide
Ccx of pre eclampsia
ICH Placental abruption and DIC Eclampsia HELLP Renal failure Pulmonary oedema Acute respiratory arrest
Fetal Ccx pre eclampsia
IU growth restriction Oligohydrannios Hypoxia due to placenta insufficiency Placental abruption Premature
Management of hypertension
Moderate BP 150-160 oral labetolol
Severe >180 oral/iv labetolol oral nifedipine
IV hydralzine
High dependency check BP every 15mins/30mins
Management eclamptic seizure
Left lateral position uterus
O2
Iv
Mg sulfate 4g in 5min to load
Reduce cerebral vasospasm
If severe and birth is planned or after fit
Continue for 24h
Why monitor urine output following MGSO4 in eclampsia
Renal excretion and risk of toxicity in oliguria
What to monitor when giving MGSO4
Urine out
Deep tendon reflexes
Hrly RE
INDICATE TOXICITY -> arrest
Managing MGSO4 toxicity
AE
STOP IT
IV calcium gluconaye 10ml 10%
Tube and ventilate
Signs of pre eclampsia
Severe HA
Epigastric pain
BP and Urine
Contraindications for LMWH
Vw disease
Severe liver disease
Severe renal disease (egfr <30 as its Renal elimination)
Sx of uterine fibroids
Heavy menstrual bleed Abdo swelling Pressure Subfertile Difficult pregnancy (miscarriage and red degeneration) Pain = Tortion

Signs of PID
Pyrex > 38C Abdo distension and tender RUQ? Suggests peri hepatic inflam = Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Rebound and guarding Discharge on speculum Tender VA
