43
Q

Patho of preeclampsia

A

vasospasm and hypoperfusion
-Arteriolar vasospasm injures endothelial cells so platelets aggregate, fibrin deposits are laid down, and blood vessels decrease in diameter which lyses RBCs and decrease blood flow to all organs and increases BP

sensitive to angiotensin II (vasoconstrictor)

O2, IV fluid, stabilize if s/s of shock, anesthesia, OR - incisie and drain, incise and cauterize vessel

53
Q

HELLP syndrome

A

H- hemodylasis (burr cells, increase bilirubin)

EL-elevated liver enzymes (AST, ALT)

LP= low plateletes (<100,000 mm3 )

prominent symptom = epigastric pain
-n/v, generalized edema

sign that preeclampsia is getting worse

54
Q

Care for HELLP

A

cont close monitoring
cont mgSo4
-24 hrs after delievery minimally

monitor lochia - increase PPH risl, oxytocin or prostaglandins for increase bldg ,not ERGOT preps they increase BP

if dia BP remains above 105 then put on antihypertensive

55
Q

Iron deficiency anemia

A

hgb 10.5 -11

maternal - causes decrease O2 carrying capacity of blodd, pallor, fatigue, pica (non-food craving), increase risk of infection

fetal - iron supp-325 mg - 1-3/day, take with vit C (OJ)

56
Q

hyperemesis s/s

A

severe n/v, dehydration, decrease BP, increase P, poor skin tugor
weight loss <5% of pre-preg weight
acidosis from starvation
ketosis (elevated blood and urine ketones)

liver dysfunction
alkalosis from loss of hydrocholoride acid in gastric fluids
hypokalemia

57
Q

hyperemesis managment

A

NPO - 24-36 hts

IV fluids

Monitor: wt, I&O, VS’s, fetal status, U/S, labs-liver, electrolytes, H&H

dark, quiet enviornment

meds- zofran, phenergan, benadryl

diet-progress slowly

58
Q

Insulin needs with DM in preg

A

first half- decrease in maternal glucose levels

second half - increase in insulin resistance

by term - insulin needs double or triple

after deliver- need goes down, baby stops taking sugar

59
Q

DM mom complications

A

ketoacidosis (can lead to death)
increase preeclampsia incidence - type 1 greater risk then GDM
polyhydramnios- baby has increase sugar, pees a lot more
infections- uti, vaginitis
PTL
birth trauma - big babies
C/S delivery
PPH

60
Q

intrapartum pre-existing DM care

A

IV therapy - two lines - reg insulin and glucose solution

BS q 1-2 hr goal is 80-110

61
Q

antepartum pre-existing DM care

A

goal = euglycemia

hosp prn for glucose sontrol

delievery time - >39wks

62
Q

Preterm Labor (PTL)

before end of the 37th

leading cause of infant death w/in 1 mo

common- RDS, infections, congential heart defects, IVH, acidosis

63
Q

PTL risk factors

A

UTI, drug use, mulitples, smoking, anemia, violence, STDs, hydramnios, infections, short cervix

64
Q

PTL drugs

A

tocolytics therapy - goal to delay delivery - gen gain 2-7 days, allows fro steriod admin fro fetal lung maturity

mag sulfate - decreases uterine contractility

beta-adrengergic agonists (ritrodrine and terbutaline) - not used often - serious M//F s.e - tachycardia

Calcium channel blocker - Nifedipine - inhibits calcium from enter smooth muscle and decrease ctx given PO

Indomethacin (NSAID) blocks prostaglandins - short term use only (not after 32 wks) has potential to close ductus arteriosus

65
Q

hypotonic uterine dysfunction

A

ctx weaken, shorten and less frquent

1st assess fetal size and pelvis, if ok then,,

ambulate, IV hydrate, position change, AROM, nip atim, pain manage, decrease anxiety, OXYTOCIN

if abnormal - c/s

66
Q

hypertonic uterine dysfunction

A

frequent, painful ctxs that do not dialte the cx, encourage decent or effacement

ctx is uncoordinated,may not completely relax between ctx, usually in latent and nulliparous

TX= rest-warm bath/shower and analgesics - morphine

goal- sedation, usually after 4-6 hrs of rest they wake up in active labor

67
Q

shoulder dystocia TX

A

mcroberts maneuver ( mom flat, knees to chest)

suprapubic pressure- abd pressure over pubic area

episiostomy gives more room

68
Q

prolapse cord variations

A

occult - hidden so it isnt seen and cannot be felt by SVE

complete - visible protruding from vag

69
Q

prolapse cord risk facotrs

A

fetus remains in high station, SGA, breech, transverse, hydramnios, AROM/ROM

70
Q

TX for prolapse cord

A

carefully assess during and after ROM

PRIORITY- relieve pressure on cord

mom in knee chest, trendelenburg or modified sims

SVE till delivery - to lift presenting part off cord - do not touch cord
-nurse doing SVE stays in bed with mom, to hold baby in until c/s

71
Q

vaginal birth after having had c/s (VBAC)

A

Trial of Labor

attemp lab when:

mothers pelvis right size
fetus right position

if had classic incision for a previous c/s cant have trial of labor

72
Q

Induction

A

labor started artificially

needs to be present before induction:

  • benefit of delivery outweighs continuing preg
  • fetus is longitudinal lie
  • cervix is ripe
  • no CPD
  • fetus is mature

dont do if:

previa, prolapse, abnormla presentation, scarred upper uterus

73
Q

augmentation

A

assisting labor that started spontaneiously that has slowed or stopped

nip stim, cervix softening

74
Q

bishop score

A

Predicts inducibility of cervix

Score includes - dilation, effacement, fetal station, cervix consistency, cervix position

a score over 8 means a successful induction is likely

5-6 prostaglandin gel used

8-10 pitocin can be used

75
Q

Infertility

A

inability to conceive after ONE YER of unprotected, regular intercourse.

primary - never had a baby

secondary- had a child, now cant have another

76
Q

fetal implications of adolescent pregnancy

A

higher risk for:

prematurity
low birth weight
IUGR

77
Q

delayed pregnancy

women >35 yrs

these are good moms to teach - suport

78
Q

fetal px with tobacco use

A

decrease O2, LBW

79

A

IUGR, CNS dysfunction

80
Q

Q

px with amphetamines use

A

vasoconstriction

83
Q

cycle of violence

A

1st phase: Tension building - anger, blaming, arguing occur

2nd phase: Acute battering= battering incident occurs

3rd phase: honeymoon stage - batterer asks for forgiveness, promises never will happen again.

then repeats itself
