OB Meded Flashcards
CV changes in pregnancy
DECREASED MAP (BP) overall
^HR and ^Preload but decreased SVR due to placental circulation
decreased Hgb (^RBC but ^^plasma volume)
^IVC compression, turn on Left side!
respiratory changes in pregnancy
^tidal volume, decreased FRC (she takes deeper breaths but is unable to “store” as much air)
FEV1 and RR is SAME
coagulatory changes in pregnancy
HYPERCOAGULABLE
^vWF, ^fibrinogen and d-dimer, ^Factors 7, 8, 10, ^tPa-inhibitor
decrease protein C, S
good for preventing hemorrhage, ^risk DVT/PE
renal changes in pregnancy
^GFR (more blood flow overall) decreased Cr (0.4-0.8) obstructive uropathy at pelvic brim
weight changes in pregnancy
BMI less than 18.5: 28-40 lbs
18.5-25: 25-35
25-30: 15-25
30+: 10-15
GI changes in pregnancy
GERD, nausea, constipation, Fe deficiency
pre-conception visit
safety
folate
vaccines: flu (IM), Hep B, MMRV (live attenuated, can’t give after pregnant)
lifestyle: smoking, etOH, drugs
optimization of disease: DM, HTN, hypothyroid (may need to increase dose)
1st trimester evaluation
10 weeks vitals, weight, safety Gs and Ps, History, risk factors dx: UCG, U/S, intrauterine, gestational age, multiple do not need serum hCG
Gs and Ps
G TPAL
Gravid (# pregnancies)
Term, Preterm, Abortions, Living
blood tests to get at 1st trimester visit
ABO, Rh-Ab, Hbg/Hct
HIB, Hep B, RPR
titers: varicella, rubella
urine tests to get at 1st trimester visit
U/A and urine culture
tx asymptomatic bacteruria
proteinuria baselines (eclampsia)
Gc/Chlamydia
cytology at 1st trimester visit
pap smear
genetic screens at 1st trimester visit
CF
HgbSS (SCD)
how often to see pregnant female
q4 weeks until 28 weeks
q2 weeks until 36 weeks
q1 weeks until delivery
aneuploidy
Down’s: 21
Edward’s: 18
Patau’s: 13
^risk in AMA, but prevalence highest in younger women
aneuploidy screening test
1st trim: U/S for nuchal translucency (less than 3 mm), PAPP-A, hCG
2nd trim: triple: hCG, AFP, Estriol +Inhibin-A for quad
Down’s quad screen
^hCG, low AFP, low estriol, ^Inhibin-A
Edward’s quad screen
LOW hCG, low AFP, low estriol, LOW Inhibin-A
ALL LOW
new genetic screen
cell-free DNA:
fetal DNA in maternal blood
disease to look for at 20-28 weeks of preganancy
Gestational DM
Alloimmunization
Maternal Anemia
Gestational DM
DM +20 weeks gestation
^risk: BMI 30+, GDM hx, pre-diabetic
GDM tests
1-hr glucose tolerance test (50g) positive if 140+ move onto 3-hr GTT: fasting: 90+ 1 hr: 180+ 2 hr: 155+ 3 hr: 140+ need any 2 to be + NOT HbA1C or 2 hr GTT
GDM tx
insulin
post-prandial sugars less than 180
some oral hypoglycemics starting to be used
how mom becomes alloimmunized
Rh-Ag - with previous Rh-Ag+ baby, mom is now Rh-AB +
will attack next Rh-Ag+ baby and cause fetal anemia
screen for Rh-Ab+
if Rh-Ab- and baby could be Rh-Ag+, give RhoGAM at 28 weeks and within 72 hrs of delivery
if mom has Rh-AB+ and baby could be Rh-Ag+ and mom has ^titers and right type, what to do to assess for fetal anemia
transcranial doppler (TCD) PUBS is incorrect (used to transfuse baby)- percutaneous umbilical blood sampling
normal Hgb/Hct at 28 weeks
10/30
may have iron deficiency, get CBC at 28 weeks
folate does not typically cause anemia in pregnant women
reasons to get U/S in pregnancy
1st trimester: determine IUP, GA, multiple preg.
3rd: fetal well being, lie/orientation, oligo/polyhydramnios
accuracy of U/S in predicting gestational age
1st trimester: GA +/- 1 wk
2nd: GA +/- 2 wks
3rd: GA +/- 3 wks
when transcranial doppler used
\+20 weeks in setting of fetal anemia no risk (u/s) ^velocity of blood: anemia, sensitive but does not provide dx and tx
when to get amniocentesis
only reliable +16 wks
confirm genetic disorders
loss is about 1/300
(used to use for fetal anemia and lung maturity, no longer)
CVS
used at 10+ weeks
genetic disorders: karyotypes and genes
loss about 1/500
good for early detection and termination
PUBS
percutaneous umbilical blood sampling 20+ wks, less than 34 wks if fetal anemia on +TCD used for diagnosis and fix get Hgb and can transfuse but typically just deliver if +TCD
treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria and cystitis in pregnancy
AMOXICILLIN
2nd line: nitrofurantoin (macrobid) if PCN-allergic
NO bactrim or cipro!
RESCREEN pt after treatment
treatment of pyelonephritis in pregnancy
admit, IV rocephin
reassess, if have improved over 3 days: 10 ds abx
if has not improved, think perinephric abscess: abx 14 days, U/S (can’t use CT) and drain
treatment of hyperthyroidism in pregnancy
PTU, surgical removal 2nd trimester
NO iodine/radiological ablation
NO methimazole
treatment of hypothyroidism in pregnancy
levothyroxine
^TBG, so may need 25%^ dose
get TSH q4wks
seizure treatment in pregancy
Leviteracetam, Lamotrigine, phenobarbital are safer
NO valproic acid, phenytoin, carbamezipine
BP goal in preg
medications to use
less than 140/80 safe meds: a-methyldopa, labetalol, hydrazine, nifedipine "HTN moms love nifedipine" no ACE-i, ARBs, CCB, diuretics tight ecclampsia screening
insulin requirements in pregnancy
increase (with increased hormones)
basal-bolus insulin (transition before becoming pregnancy)
target post-prandial sugars
decrease insulin after delivery (need sugars!)
uncontrolled sugars early on
transposition of great vessels
uncontrolled sugars later on
macrosomia, shoulder dystocia, delivery complications
Labor stage 1
latent: dilation 0 cm to 6 cm (6 cm is critical point, after which cervix will rapidly dilate to 10 cm)
active: dilation from 6 cm to 10 cm
20 hrs nulli (1.2 cm/hr)
14 hrs multi (1.5 cm/hr)
Labor stage 2
10 cm (max) to delivery of fetus
3 hrs nulli
2 hrs multi
Labor stage 3
delivery of fetus to delivery of placenta
30 minutes
cervical change
breakage of disulfide bonds with infusion of water
softening, effacement (shorter), dilation (wider), position
happen in response to fetal head engagement
fetal station
use ischial spine (point 0)
- 5: 5 cm deeper than ischial spine
5: 5 cm out
fetal position
longitudinal cephalic
aligned with mom, head down
malalignment: longitudinal breech or transverse
how to determine fetal position
how to move baby
Leopold maneuver
can also use u/s
external version to move baby, if fails to align consider C-section
