Hep B: if unclear about vaccination history, both hep B vaccine and immune globulin
HIV: Antiretroviral drugs
HPV: if not already administered in survivors aged 9-45

17

Tx for hyperemesis gravidarum

A
  1. Pyridoxine alone or in combination with doxylamine
  2. Add antihistamine or 5HT3 antagonist
    - Diphenhydramine
    - Meclizine
    - Dimenhydrinate
  3. Ondansetron, prochlorperazine, metoclopramide, or promethazine
18
Q

Hallmark of late decelerations

A

Onset, nadir, and recovery of decel follow onset, peak, and end of contraction

19
Q

Causes of late decelerations

A

Uteroplacental insufficiency

  • Maternal hypotension or hypoxia
  • Placental abruption
  • Umbilical cord prolapse
  • Uterine tachysystole
20
Q

Management of late decelerations

A
  • Lateral recumbent position
  • Sterile vaginal exam to assess for umbilical cord prolapse, rapid cervical dilation, or descent of fetal head
  • IVF; consider O2
  • Consider tocolytis
  • If despite interventions late decels continue -> urgent surgical delivery
