how to engage cervix in latent phase

A

balloon
amniotomy (rupture sac)
misoprostal (prostaglandin)
oxytocin* (used in active phase as well)

52
Q

3 Ps

A

passenger
pelvis
power: can augment with oxytocin

53
Q

adequate contractions

A

200 mV units in 10 minutes measured with IUPC
augmentation (oxy) not likely to help if sufficient
(good: 3 in 10 minutes, bad: less than 3 in 30 minutes)

54
Q

if oxytocin fails in active phase?

if in stage III?

A

C-section

if stage 3, may use forceps or vacuum if baby is positive position, C-section if negative

55
Q

delay of stage 3

A

is a problem with power (just placenta coming out)

start with uterine massage, then try oxytocin, THEN manual extraction (not D&C)

56

Premature ROM:
term, before contractions (think GBS) if GBS+ or unknown give ampicillin
and wait for delivery

58
Q

duration of labor should not exceed

A

18 hrs

if +18: prolonged rupture of membranes

59
Q

how to determine ROM

A

nitralazine blue test : amniotic fluid turns it blue
slide shows ferning
U/S: oligo (less fluid)

60
Q

P-PROM

A

preterm premature ROM: before term, no contractions
if +34 weeks: deliver
if less than 24: abortion
in between: give steroids for lung maturity
may lead to prolonged ROM

61
Q

prolonged ROM

A
18+ hrs
worry about GBS
endometritis (baby out) and chorioamnionitis (baby in)
mom will be feverish and toxic
Do NOT get vaginal cx
get U/A, CXR, blood CX
tx: amp and gent WITH clindamycin
62
Q

risk factors for prematurity (defined by contractions AND cervical change and before term)

67
Q

gestational HTN

A

sustained +140/90 AFTER 20 weeks
no U/A changes or symptoms

f/u: frequent screening and visits

69
Q

severe pre-eclampsia (SPEC: pre-E with severe features)

A

sustained + 160/110 after 20 weeks
+5g/mL proteinuria 24-hr (3+ dipstick), WITH symptoms (AMS, vision, liver), generalized edema
tx: Mg+ and deliver via induction

70
Q

eclampsia

A

SPEC with seizures

tx: Mg+ and deliver (C-section)

71
Q

HELLP syndrome

dizygotic gestation
dichorionic, diamniotic
2 fertilizations
risks: preterm delivery (4 wks for each visit), malpresenation (^risk C-section), postpartum hemorrhage

75
Q

if twins are same gender and 2 placentas are present

A

may be monozygotic gestation
dichorionic, diamniotic
(“identical twins”)
split in 0-3 days (tubal phase)

76
Q

if same placenta but 2 sacs

A

monozygotic
monochrorionic, diamniotic
split in 4-8 days (blastocyst phase)
risk: same blood supply so twin-twin transfusion (donating twin will do better than receiving twin)

77
Q

if same placenta and 1 sac

A

monozygotic, monochorionic, monoamniotic
split 9-12 days
risk: conjoined twins (if split +12 days), cord entanglement (also twin-twin transfusion)

78
Q

post partum hemorrhage

A

+500 cc in vaginal delivery
+1000 cc in C-section
pregnant females can tolerate more blood loss

79
Q

PPH and uterus is absent?

A

uterine inversion
contracting so hard it “births” itself, due oxytocin of ^traction
tx: try to put back manually, may need tocolytics and uterine tonics

80
Q

PPH and boggy uterus?

A

uterine atony
due to prolonged labor, oxytocin removed, given tocolytics
tx: massage, oxytocin, PGE, methergine, hemabate, may need sx

81
Q

PPH and firm uterus?

A

retained placenta
placenta burrows deeply, has accessory lobe, causes placental tear
tx: D+C, TAH
f/u: B-hCG, ensure no chorioamnionitis

82
Q

PPH and normal uterus?

A

vaginal laceration
due to precipitous delivery, macrosomia, episiotomy
tx: pressure, suture, look for DIC

83
Q

if can’t find cause of PPH and/or it is refractory to treatment

A

2 large bore IVs (18 gauge+), IVF, type/cross, call surgeon

may try IV estrogen but likely to be unsuccessful

84
Q

surgical treatments for refractory/unexplained PPH

A

uterine artery ligation (OB)
uterine artery embolization (IR)
TAH (OB)

85
Q

placenta probs

A

accreta: deeper into endometrium
percreta: into myometrium
increta: all the way throw myometrium, may progress to outside organs
may result in retained placenta, may see blood vessels go all the way to edge of removed part of placenta

86
Q

DIC

A

low platelets (give platelets), low Hgb (give pRBCs), less fibrinogen (give cryoprecipitate), ^INR (give FFP), schistocytes

normal fibrinogen after delivery is ABNORMAL (should be elevated)

87
Q

why no ACE-I and ARBs

A

cause fetal malformations

88
Q

high-risk pregnancy or decreased fetal movement algorithm

A

1st do NST
if non reassuring, repeat NST after vibroacoustic stimulation
if still not good BPP (0-10)
if BPP is 0-2 fetal demise imminent (deliver- C/S)
if BPP less than 8 and +37 wks: deliver vaginally
if BPP less than 8 and less than 37 wga: contraction stress test (CST)
if bradycardia or late decels: delivery imminent (C/S)

89
Q

what you want on NST

A

appropriate variability (no flat lining or too much)
accelerations: 15/15 (acceleration rises 15 bpm and last for 15 seconds), 2 in 20 min (10/10 if less than 32 wga)
no decelerations

90
Q

BPP

A

like “APGAR score” use if fail NST + VAS
look at NST, AFI, breathing, movement, tone
0-2 pts for each

91
Q

AFI

A
divide uterus into 4 quadrants
sum of all 4, normal is +5
reassuring: 8-25
oligo: less than 5 (kidney problem)
poly: +25 (GI problem)
92
Q

CST

A

+ contractions
look for LATE decelerations and bradycardia
used in labor or if failed BPP
want 3ctx/10 minutes (200 mV units)

93
Q

Late decelerations

A

look like they start when contractions peak
utero-placental insufficiency
immediate C/S

94
Q

painless vs painful 3rd trimester bleeding

A

painless: placental problem, baby’s blood (previa, occurs with dilation)
painful: uterus problem, mom’s blood

95
Q

placenta previa dx and tx

A

baby is in transverse line on U/S, NST or CST will show fetal distress
VASA previa will only show fetal distress on NST/CST
tx: urgent (not emergent) C/S

96
Q

Rh Antibodies

A

“D” antibodies matter (Rh D IgG is antidote)
titers + if greater than 1:8
(bigger number after colon, higher titer)

97
Q

if mom has + Rh Ab titers (+1:8) and TCD shows ^flow, what to do next?

98
Q

tests no longer used in Rh alloimmunization

A

amniocentesis, Liley Graph

99
Q

GBS screening

A

urine culture wk 10
rescreen wk 35

100
Q

risk factors for GBS

A

previous GBS+, prolonged ROM, intrapartum fever

101
Q

Hep B prophylaxis for baby if mom is Hep B+

A

passed through blood, do C-section, give Hep B IVIG, Hep B vaccine to baby day 1

(vaccinate mom before she gets pregnant)

102
Q

if HIV+ at 10 wk screen

A

tx: 2 NRT-i + 1 NNRT-i or Protease-i + ritonavir
NRT-i’s: Tenofovir +Emtricitabine (class B)

NNRT-i: Nevirapine
PI: Atazanavir
NO Enfavirenze

103
Q

what to do when HIV+ mom presents in labor

A

viral load less than 1000 and on HAART can deliver vaginally!
otherwise: C-section
if do not know status and presents in labor: give AZT

104
Q

do not need ampicillin if mom is GBS+ when?

A

planned C/S with NO ROM with onset of labor

105
Q

brain calcifications, ventriculomegaly, seizure, what to ask and what should have done?

vaginal birth after C-section?

A

low risk: 2 or less C/S with low transverse cuts (attempt to VBAC, if fail called TOLAC)
high risk: greater than 2 C/S with any that were not low transverse cuts (planned C/S)

113
Q

when to use vacuum/forceps

A

fetal distress and prolonged or arrest of labor
need full effacement, +2 station
risk: denuding vagina with vacuum, cephalohematoma or Bell’s palsy with forceps

114
Q

episiotomy types

A

medial: most common, easy to re-suture, more painful and risk of grade 4
mediolateral: hurts less, harder to repair, no risk grade 4

115
Q

laceration grades

A

1: only vagina
2: involves perineal body
3: into anal sphincter but not mucosa
4: invades into anal mucosa, may form rectovaginal fistula

116
Q

cerclage

A

used to prevent incompetent cervix (repeat STIs, dilations, PID, D/C), see 2nd trimester losses
put in week 14 (risk of ROM)
take out week 36 (may cause rupture if leave in)

117
Q

anesthesia

A

general: opiates, avoid in latent phase stage 1, may prolong and may need to give baby naloxone upon delivery
epidural: requires tocometer and coach (risk: hypotension and death if lidocaine into subdural)

118
Q

injected anesthetics

A

paracervical: stage 1: prevents pain of dilations (fetal HR may drop)
pudendal: stage 3: helps pain of delivery

119
Q

long acting reversible contraception (LARC)

A

non-IUD (under skin): Explanon, Implanon, last 3 yrs
IUD:
hormonal: 5 yrs (E+P so may ^DVT risk, decrease bleeding overall)
copper: 10 yrs (may ^bleeding)
both ^risk PID (get genital cx prior to placement)

120
Q

“Ingestion” contraception in decreasing order of efficacy

A

injections: Depo-provera (last 3 mos)
patches: ortho-Evra (1 mo) (highest risk of DVT/PE)
rings: Nuva-ring (1 mo)
OCPs: (E+P) good for dysf. bleeding, chorio, GTD, molar
mini pill: progesterone only (less DVT risk) requires higher compliance down to hr

121
Q

DVT risk

A

estrogen contraception
smoking
age (+35)

122
Q

Plan B

A

Levonogestrel
used within 72 hrs
not abortifactant
