28
Q

What is the ideal LA for emergent C/s?

A

2-chlorprocaine because it is quickly metabolized and therefore unlikely to pass into the placenta

29
Q

S&S uterine rupture

A

Frank blood
Pain unrelieved by a functional epidural

30
Q

How does the blood patch work?

A

10-20cc of blood patches the whole with platelets and other clotting factors

31
Q

What is the cost of IV iron?

A

$7/vial

32
Q

How do you calculate blood loss based on soaked raytecs or laps?

A

Raytec 15
Lap 80

33
Q

Airway edema is made worse by ___

A

Pre eclampsia
Tocolytics
Prolonged Tburg

34
Q

The uterus receives ___ of CO

A

10%

35
Q

IV fluid volumed is increased by ___

A

35%

36
Q

DVT is ___ more likely in pregnant women

A

6x

37
Q

Sensitivity to MAC and LA are ___

A

enhanced; they require less MAC and less LA d/t progesterone

38
Q

Is UBF autoregulated?

A

No
Depends on CO, MAP, and uterine resistance

39
Q

Uterine blood flow formula

A

UBF= (U. artery pressure- U. venous pressure)/ U. vascular resistance

40
Q

What can cause reduced UBF?

A

Decreased perfusion: maternal HOTN from hemorrhage, AO compression, sympathectomy
Increased resistance: uterine contraction, HTN

41
Q

Drug characteristics that favor placental crossing

A

LMW <500 Daltons
Non ionized
Non polar
Lipid soluble

42
Q

Stages of labor

A

1- beginning of dilation and contractions to 10cm dilated (latent is 0-3cm, active is 3cm- to delivery)
2- 10cm dilated- delivery of newborn (pain starts)
3- begins with delivery of newborn and ends with delivery of the placenta

43
Q

Pain pathways for 1 and 2 stages

A

1- T10-L2
2- S2-S4
Total- T10-S4

44
Q

Is N2O safe?

A

Yes
When used alone, will preserve uterine contractility, does not cause neonatal depression
Will not cause hypoxia, loss of airway reflexes, of LOC

45
Q

Lidocaine is not used for continuous spinal neuraxial analgesia because ___

A

Tachyplaxis
More likely to cross the placenta
Strong motor block ?

46
Q

What is the presentation of a total spinal?

A

Dyspnea
Difficulty phonating
HOTN
LOC
Rapid sensory and motor block

47
Q

What can cause late decels?

A

Placental insufficiency
Maternal hotn, hypovolemia, acidosis, pre eclampsia

47
Q

Normal FHR, causes of brady and tachy

A

110-160
Brady- acidosis, asphyxia
Tachy- hypoxemia, arrhythmias

A

6-25

49
Q

What can reduce FHR variability

A

CNS depressants
Hypoxemia
Fetal sleep
Acidosis
Anencephaly

What is sinusoidal pattern?

A

A regular, smooth, undulating wave
Signifying a compromised fetus
