9
Q

why does SVR decrease during pregnancy

A

due to low vascular resistance system 2/2 vasodilation that gets blood to the utuerus for adequate blood flow.

Q

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?

A

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)

Q

when is a mom particularly sensitive to aortal/inferior vena caval compression when close to labor?

A

after epidural block

22
Q

pregnant mom goes into cardiac arrest while on the OR table; baby is still utero what position change should you do while doing compressions

A

left uterine displacement (wedge under right hip)

23
Q

mom is term and is sitting up in the bed; what vessel is a risk of occlusion

A

femoral

24
Q

if mom is term and sitting up –> s/sx of hypotension, diaphoresis, N/V how do you intervene

A

she is possibly occluded femorally, put head down and do left uterine displacement

25
Q

TV & Mv during pregnancy increases by _______%

A

45

26
Q

what hormone causes an increase in minute ventilation during pregnancy

A

progesterone

27
Q

FRC is _________ by 20% during pregnancy

A

decreased

28
Q

O2 consumption increases by _________% during pregnancy

A

50

29
Q

why do pregnant women drop their O2 saturation so fast during pregnancy?

A

decrease FRC and increased O2 consumption

30
Q

progesterone causes what respiratory changes during pregnancy

A
  1. bronchodilation
  2. increased minute ventilation
31
Q

hypoxic ventilatory response during pregnancy is _______x the normal level

A

2 (this is a protective mechanism in the pregnant pt)

32
Q

what respiratory parameters are increased during pregnancy

A
  1. inspiratory reserve volume
  2. Tidal volume
  3. inspiratory capacity
  4. dead space
  5. minute ventilation
  6. alveolar ventilation
33
Q

what respiratory parameters decrease during pregnancy

A
  1. expiratory reserve volume
  2. residual volume
  3. functional residual capacity
  4. total lung capacity
34
Q

T/F: the pregnant pt in surgery, the EtCO2 is assumed to be about 5 < than PaCO2

A

false; during pregnancy EtCO2 is assumed to = PaCO2

35
Q

what parameter during surgery of the pregnant pt predicts the degree of maternal hyperventilation and an be used to avoid uterine vasoconstriction induced by hypocarbia

A

EtCO2

36
Q

if you have to intubate a pregnant woman at term, what are the risks

A
  1. trauma
  2. bleeding
  3. obstruction
  4. difficult DL (d/t arytenoid and VC edema)
37
Q

T/F: you should avoid nasal airways in the pregnant pt at term

A

true - increased risk of bleeding

38
Q

pregnant women are in a mild state of _________________ (respiratory or metabolic acidosis or alkalosis)

A

respiratory alkalosis (d/t increased Mv –> more CO2 blown off by mom)

39
Q

what hormone drives the change in CO2 in the pregnant pt

A

progesterone

40
Q

changes to Mv in stages of labor:
1st stage = ___________
2nd stage = ____________

A
  1. 1st stage = 70-140% increase Mv
  2. second stage of labor Mv increases 120-200%
41
Q

during labor PaO2 may ___________ by _______ mmHg

A

decrease; 10 - 15

42
Q

in the first stage of labor O2 consumption increases by _____% and increases by _____% in the second stage of labor

A

40; 75

43
Q

T/F: during labor maternal aerobic requirement for Oxygen > oxygen consumption

A

true

44
Q

what helps with the respiratory changes (increased Mv, decreased PaO2, increased O2 consumption) during labor?

A

epidural and adequate pain control

45
Q

FRC ___________ after delivery, but remains ___________ pre-pregnancy level for _______ weeks

A

increases; lower; 1-2

46
Q

O2 consumption, Tv, and Mv remain elevated after birth for ___________ weeks

A

6-8

47

A
  1. maternal plasma volume increases 50% by 34 weeks
  2. increase in maternal plasma volume exceeds RBC volume increase
48

plasma volume increases from 49 mL/kg up to __________ mL/kg during pregnancy

A

67

49
Q

BP during pregnancy may decrease except with _________________

A

htn
