OB/GYN Flashcards
how do you estimate due date
example LMP of november 1st would be
subtract 3 months from LMP and add 7 days to the first day of the LMP
august 8 due date
late decelerations that occur together with decreased variability suggests what
acidosis
interventions for prolonged decelerations
hypotension
IV fluid bolus, or administer vasopressor agent like ephedrine
treatment of umbilical cord prolapse
elevate presenting part and emergency cesarean
pt has uterine contraction pattern of excessive number of contractions or tachysystole what can you do and also has late decelerations
give a beta mimetic agent like terbulatine to cause uterine relaxation and resolve late decels
what is considered tachysystole number of contractions
over 5 in 10 minutes
what is the best managment for a prolonged latent phase
continued observation on oxytocin
repetitive deep variable decels is from what and what to help
umbilical cord compression and amnioinfusion would help
FHR monitor
category III
fetal hypoxia or acidosis
absent baseline variability with recurrent late or variable decels or bradycardia or sinusoidal heart pattern
FHR monitor cat II
bears watching
fetal tachy without decels would be example
HR monitor cat I
noraml baseline and variability, no later or variable decels
fetal scalp stimulation inducing an acceleration is reassuring for what
umbilical cord pH > 7.20
what can be helpful in FHR with repetivie variable decels
amnioinfusion
pt with an elevated Hb A2 level pregnant and anemia has what
from what
anemia due to b thalassemia minor
decreased b globulin gene
macrocytic anemia in pregnancy is most likely from a deficiency of what
folate, B12 stores last for many years
what are the four signs of placental separation
1) gush of blood
2) lengthening of the cord
3) globular and firm shape of the uterus
4) uterus rises up to anterior abdominal wall
GLUG
if placenta doesn’t completely seperate what can happen when it is removed
looks like what
complication
uterine inversion
reddish bulging mass adjacent to placenta (endometrial surface)
mass has shaggy appearance
postpart hemmorhage
treatment of uterine inversion
uterine relaxation agent with halothane and surgery
manual replacement
two IV lines
terbutaline or mg sulfate can relax uterus if needed prior to uterine replacement
once replaced use uterotonic agents like oxytocin to stop re inversion and slow down bleeding
examples of uterotonic agents
oxytocin, misoprostol or ergotamine
placental implantation site at what part of the uterus would predisopse to an inverted uterus
