OB anesthesia Flashcards
Deceleration
Early: head compression w/ Vagal stimulation
Late: fetal hypoxemia w/ Vagal stimulation or myocardial failure
Variable: umbilical cord compression w/ Vagal stimulation
Causes of fetal bradycardia
- Hypoxemia
- Acidosis
- Complete heart block
- Drugs: neostigmine+glycopyrrolate
Fetal tachycardia
Infection Fever Maternal smoking Fetal SVT Drugs: ritodrine, terbutaline, atropine
Cerebral palsy: etiology of CP occurs most frequently
Antepartum
Pregnancy diabetes
Type I: 1 of 700-1000
Gestational: 2-5% pregnancies
PDPH
Positional
Bilateral
N/v
Neckstiffness
Ocular (photophobia, diploma, difficulty in accommodation)
Auditory( hearing loss, hype racists, tinnitus)
Shivering in normal delivering
Epidural: sufentamol 50 mcg, fentanyl 100mcg, or meperidine 25 mg / LA
Warming iv fluids——can decrease rate
Normal values from umbilical cord blood
ph/ Pco2/ PO2/ bicar (mEq/L)
Arterial: 7.25/50/20/22
Venous: 7.35/40/30/20
Severely depressed 3 kg term newborn
Clearing airway, drying and stimulating. If apneic, positive pressure ventilation (40 to 60 bpm) x 30 s, if HR<60, CPR: 1:3 breath: compression x 30s, if not improving, epi: 0.1 to 0.3 ml/kg of 1:10,000 solution. (ETT: 0.3 to 1ml/kg).
If need volum: 10ml/kg over 5-10 min, can repeat. If anemia: o- pRBC. If narcotic-induced, naloxone 0.1 mg/kg iv or im. If severe metabolic acidosis, but adequate ventilation, bicar: 2 mEq/kg, slow
NO naloxone
Newborn if mom addicted to narc, or on methadone maintenance,
PIH (pregnancy-induced HTN)
High: <20yo, twins, DM I, polyhydramnios, hydatidiform mole, high BMI
Low: smoking
Aortocaval syndrome
Vena cava: Hypotention, n/v, pallor, changes in cerebration
Aorta: decrease UBF
Cocaine abusing pregnant pt
Urine + 24 to 72 hrs Life threatening: GA>RA Induction of GA: HTN MAC: increase in acute; decrease in chronic RA: risk of Hypotention Ephedrine: not effective d/t depletion
Infiltration anesthesia
Emergency c/s, contra to GA &RA
LA: 100ml, 0.5% lidocaine or ?% chloroprocaine (NOT Bupivacaine)
Hypotention post SA or EA in pregnant pt
- LUD (left uterine displacement)
- Fluid
- Vasopressors: phenylephrine > ephedrine
Threatened abortion
Uterine bleating w/o cervical dilation before 20 weeks gestation
Inevitable abortion
Cervical dilation &/or ROM
Incomplete abortion
Partial expulsion of tissue
Need D&E
Epidural narcotics is antagonized by prior or concomitant ?
Chloroprocaine
Marcaine = sensorcaine = ?

Ropivacaine
TNS (transient neurologic syndrome)
SA w/ lidocaine ( xylocaine ) Back pain radiating to buttocks & legs Post block resolve No motor or sensory loss or EMG change Resolve w/i 1 to 4 day typically
