OB GYN Flashcards
placenta previa should be delivered how?
C section at 36-37 weeks
when to use cerclage?
hx of second trimester deliveries or a short cervix (<2.5 cm)
complications for mom due to placental abruption?
risk for hypovolemic shock and DIC
HYPEREMESIS GRAVIDARUM
sx?
tx?
risks factors:
sx n/v persistent and severe, weight loss, and sx of dehydration
tx: IV ANTIEMETICS, fluids and electrolyte repletion
risks: multiple gestatiom, hydatidiform mole, and hx of reflux
greatest risk factor for cerebral palsy
premature birth before 32 weeks
breast feeding failure jaundice vs breast milk jaundice
BFFJ = decreased bilirubine elimination and inreased enterohepatic circulation (dehydrated, suboptimal feeding) –> signs of dehydration/jaundice and few diapers(red crystals), baby just needs to feed more
BMJ = high level of B-glucuronidase in milk deconjugates intestinal bilirubin –> adequate breast feeding, normal exam
is trial of labor contraindicated in px with hx of myomectomy?
YESq
primary htn vs gestational htn vs preE vs Eclampsia
primary = 140/90 + prior to conception or before 20 weeks gestation
gestational = after 20 weeks, no proteinuria
preE = htn after 20 weeks and proteinuria or end organ damage sx
eclampsia = preE and new onset seizures
htn increases the risk of PPROM and preterm labor.
true or false
false, it only increases the risk of preterm labor, NOT PPROM
PPROM is associated with genital tract infection and hx of prior PPROM
does levothyroxine dose stay the same, decrease or increase in pregnancy?
dose must increase since estrogen in pregnancy induces an increase in thyroxine binding globulin levels (more binding sites that must be saturated)
a normal non stress test (NST) shows….
2 or more heart rate accelerations that are 15 + beats/min above baseline within a 20 min period
**test can last up to 40 min to account for fetal sleep
a normal BPP…
score of 8-10
nonstress test, fetal movement, tone, breathing, and AFI
each get 2 max
does chorioamnionitis require c section?
no
give broad spectrum abx and oxytocin to accelerate labor/delivery if 38+ weeks old
what is the only current indication for hormone replacement therapy?
vasomotor symptoms in women <60 who have undergone menopause in past 10 years
**it is NO longer used to precent CAD, thromboembolism, or osteoporosis/fractures
after breast cyst in young woman is aspirated (mass decreases size), what do you do?
ultrasound in 2-4 months
dont send the fluid for culture!

copper IUD inserted up to 5 days after unprotected sex
pills are less effective
most common heart defect in edwards (tri 18)?
VSD
what do the following indicate:
1 early decels
2 late decels
3 variable decels
1 fetal head compression (symmetric to ctx)
2 uteroplacental insufficiency / Fetal hypoxia
3 abrupt decels; cord compression or cord prolapse
