Q

How do manage early pregnancy bleeding with an open cervical os?

A

inevitable abortion - wait, misoprostol, or D&C

incomplete abrotion - some tissue is out, same management (D&C if heavy bleeding)

A

Anti-kell antibodies (Kell kills)

Q

When concerned about alloimmunization in a pregnancy due to positive testing, what are the next steps?

A
  1. find out if dad is positive for the antibody to determine if baby could be positive

*or check baby’s blood with percutanoues umbiical cord sampling

  1. determine antibody titer (if low - okay), follow monthly, if rises to >1:8, may need early delivery

Q

Who should get rhogam?

A

any pregnant woman who is Rh- (A-, B-, AB-, O-) at 28 wks and after delivery if baby is Rh +

other times when there is risk for fetal-maternal blood mixing (ectopic, amniocentesis…)

Q

What is the biophysical profile?

A

test of fetal well-being

*always start with NST and amniotic fluid assessment (if good, don’t need to do the rest)

*score of 8-10 is reassuring (2 pts per line)

*score 4-6: worrisome, deliver if >36 wks or follow frequently

*score of 0 or 2 - fetal hypoxia - get baby out no matter age

21
Q

How to differentiate preterm labor from preterm contractions?

A

labor - cervical changes (dilation or effacement)

contractions - no cervical changes

22
Q

What is the ddx for preterm contractions?

A
23
Q

What is a fetal fibronectin test and when shoudl it be done?

A

predicts if will deliver in next few days, if neg, very low chance (not that helpful if pos)

do the test before any other part of speculum exam or cervial exam

24
Q

How to evaluate preterm labor?

A

digital cervical exam (dialtion, effacement, fetal station)

bedside US (fetal position and cervical length)

GBS swab

25
Q

What should be offered to women who had a previous preterm delivery and normal cervical length in a next pregnancy?

A

IM 17-OH-progesterone weekly to decrease likelihood of preterm delivery starting in 2nd trimester - 36 wks

26
Q

What are risks for preterm delivery?

A

hx of previous preterm delivery (that wasn’t induced or for another indication)

cervical length < 25 mm

27
Q

What should be offered to a pregnant woman who is found to have cervical length <20 mm?

A

daily vaginal progesterone tx until 36 wks

28
Q

What are the criteria for preterm labor?

A

gestational age 20-36 wks

>2 contractions in 30 mins

cervix atleast 2 cm dilated on exam or cervix showing signs of change

29
Q

How to monitor pt in labor?

A

external FHR monitor

tocometer for contractions

vitals…etc

30
Q

What interventions do you need to do to protect the preterm fetus?

A
  1. IV MgSO4 for fetal neuroprotection if < 32 wks
  2. IM betamethasone (2 doses 24 hours apart) for pulm maturity if <34 wks
  3. abx for GBS prophylaxis (pen G, clindamycin, vancomycin, erythromycin need at least 4 hours prior to birth)
  4. tocolytic agents (delay delivery by 48 hours) -

*Magnesium sulfate (need to keep deep tendon reflexes, don’t give for renal insuff or myasthenia gravis)

*terbutaline (don’t give if CV disease, DM, or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism)

*nifedipine (CCB), don’t give if hypotension, tachycardia, CV disease

*indomethacin (decr prostaglandin production), can cause oligohydramnios, or PDA in pt >32 wks (contraindicated if >32 wks)

31
Q

What are risks for preterm labor?

A
32
Q

How do you screen for gestational diabetes?

A

BUN/Cr, Uric acid (high if hemoconcentrated)

urine drug screen

severe HTN

PLTs < 100k

incr AST/ALT

incr Cr >1.1

pul edema

new onset cerebral or visual disturbances

Q

How do you monitor a pt with preeclampsia without severe features?

A

if <37 wks, inpt obs and follow maternal and fetal status

*give IM steroids if <34 wks

deliver at 37 weeks (induce)

43
Q

How do you monitor a pt with preeclampsia with severe features?

A

start IV continuous Mg sulfate to prevent seizures

lower bp with IV hydralazine or IV labetalol

start IV oxytocin to induce labor (if have time/depends on how severe and what cervix looks like)

deliver!

44
Q

How to manage Mg toxicity on pregnant mom who is delvering?

A

stop continuous Mg!

*never give mg in myasthenia gravis - can cause respirtory arrest

45
Q

How to manage gestational hypertension?

A

monitor for sings of preeclampsia

deliver at 37 wks

(No mg sulfate needed0

46
Q

How to manage chronic HTN in pregnancy?

A

meds if BP >160/105 with labetalol, nifedipine, or methyldopa

deliver at 38 wks

47
Q

How do you work up post-partum hemorrhage?

A

try to determine cause of bleeding

2 large bore IVs and bolus NS

foley catheter to monitor urine output

CBC, type and cross, 2 untis of red blood,

do bimanual uterine massage

give IV oxtocin, if no response, IM methylergonovine, if no response give IV prostaglandin E1

48
Q

How to induce labor?

A

place foley ballon in the cervix to soften

start IV oxytocin (continuous)

*can do an amniotomy to further move things along
