OB Flashcards
What is the reason for increased CO and RBF in pregnancy?
Progesterone
Acid base status in pregnancy and reason?
Chronic rep alkalosis with metabolic compensation, increase PaO2 and decrease PaCO2. Progesterone stimulates resp center to increase TV and Minute ventilation
Highest accuracy for detecting gestational age is when and how?
7-10 weeks measuring crown rump length with accuracy +/- 3 days
Diagnosis and tx of PMS?
Menstrual diary. SSRI
In immature early HPG, what is cause of irregular menstrual cycles with lack of periodicity?
Not enough hormone generated such as LH/FSH to INDUCE OVULATION
Trisomy 18 vs Trisomy 21 MSAFP, B-hCG, Estriol, Inhibin A?
Trisomy 18-AFP (decrease), hCG (decrease), Estriol (decrease), Inhibin A (normal)
Trisomy 21-AFP (decrease), hCG (increase), estriol (decrease), inhibin A (increase)
Nonpathologic cause of increased MSAFP?
multiple gestation
1st trimester combined test timing?
9-13 wks
Quad screen timing?
second trimester. 15-20 wks.
Chorionic villous sampling timing, advantages and disadvantages?
10-13 weeks. definitive karyotypic analysis, pain, vaginal spotting, risk of pregnancy loss
Amniocentesis timing, advantages, and disadvantages?
15-20 weeks, definitive karyotypic analysis, pain with risk of bleeding and amniotic fluid leak, risk of injury to fetus, placenta and maternal bowel or bladder
Second trimester U/S timing, advantages and disadvantages?
18-20 weeks, noninvasive and measures growth, anatomy, and position, disadvantage includes not identifying all abnormalities, soft markers are U/S finding of uncertain significance
Cell-free fetal dna timing, advantages and disadvanges?
greater than 10 weeks; can be confirmed via chorionic villi. Noninvase and highly sensitive and specific for aneuploidy but not diagnostic is a disadvangage.
Criteria for chronic HTN with superimposed preeclampsia?
Chronic HTN (less than 20 weeks) and 1 of following: new onset proteinuria or worsening of current proteinuria, worsening of current HTN, or signs of end organ damage
Tx of hyperemesis gravidarum?
Ginger, fluid replacement, dietary modification, pyridoxine +/- doxylamine
Greatest risk factor for uterine rupture?
PRevious uterine surgery
cessation of uterine contraction and sudden onset vaginal bleeding?
uterine rupture
painless vaginal bleeding with ROM?
vasa previa
diagnosis and management of placenta previa?
diagnosis: first transabdominal NO TRANSVAGINAL. C-section at 36-37 weeks and pelvic rest (no digital vaginal exam and no intercourse)
top cause of placental abruption?
maternal HTN
diagnosis and management of placenta abrupto?
diagnosis: transabdominal U/S. management-IV crystalloid and left lateral decubitus to maximize CO and displace uterus off aortocaval vessels
Placental adherence and hemorrhage at time of attempted placental delivery?
Placenta accreta
Fetal effects of eclampsia?
3-5 minutes of fetal bradycardia during seizure followed by compensatory tachycardia and loss of variability
What is intrauterine fetal demise?
Death after 20 weeks and before onset of labor
