what are the different hormones involved in changes to mom with pregnancy
- relaxin
- progesterone
- cortisone
- estrogen
- endorphins
- prostaglandins
during pregnancy the heart moves _______ and to the _____________
up; left
what is normal CO during pregnancy
6-12 L/min
during pregnancy CO increases by ___________%
50
SVR is decreased by _________ % during pregnancy
20
what hormones are responsible for the decrease in SVR during pregnancy
- prostacyclines
- estrogen
- progesterone
during pregnancy what CV parameters increase?
- CO
- HR
- contractility
- blood volume
- SV
T/F: pregnancy causes a high vascular resistance system
false; low vascular resistance system
why does SVR decrease during pregnancy
due to low vascular resistance system 2/2 vasodilation that gets blood to the utuerus for adequate blood flow.
normal blood volume of 150 lb, non-pregnant pt = ___________
blood volume in this pt who is pregnant at term will ___________ by 1-1.5L
4.7; increase
T/F: hgb decreases with increased blood volume in pregnancy
false; RBC/hgb increases by 30% but the plasma volume increases by 50% and that why you may see dilutional anemia
CO during pregnancy starts to increase at ____________ weeks
5
when is CO the greatest during pregnancy
right at delivery, CO increases up to 80%
CO reaches 50% increase mark in the ___________ trimester, and is due to increased _________ stimulated by __________
2nd; SV; estrogen
LV mass of the heart increases by ______% between the 1st and 3rd trimesters
23
there is a ______________ shift in the oxyhgb dissocation curve with pregnancy
right
during labor, CO increases by _____% in the first stage of labor; _____% in the late first stage of labor, and ____% in the second stage of labor
10; 25; 40
T/F: giving a pregnant pt an epidural will suppress the SNS stimulation and increase in CO during labor
true
during a uterine contraction __________ mL of blood is displaced from the intervillous space of the placenta to maternal central circulation = _______________
300-500; autotransfusion
a woman is in labor laying in the supine position, you come in and she is c/o N/V & dizziness, she looks pale, diaphoretic, and pallor, & hypotensive what do you think is going on/what is the intervention?
aortal/inferior vena caval compression; compression of vessels –> transient decrease in CO from decrease in venous return
fix: left uterine displacement (placing wedge under the right hip)
