OB Uworld Flashcards
causes of asymmetric fetal growth restrictions
vascular disease like HTN and preeclampsia and DM antiphospholipids Ab autoimmune cyanotic cardiac disease substance abuse
causes of symmetric fetal growth restrictions
genetic
congenital heart disease
intrauterine infections: malaria CMV, rubella, toxo, varicella)
causes of variable heart decelerations
cord compression
oligohydramnios
cord prolapse
Tx variable decelerations
maternal repositioning to left lateral then if fail to improve do amnioinfusion
PPROM and fetus has bilateral renal agenesis
next step
allow spontaneous vaginal delivery because baby wont survive anyway
when to do C section no matter what
prior classic cesarean (vertical)
myomectomies
postpartum endometritis
fever greater than 100.4 outside first 24 hours postpartum
risk factors postpartum endometritis
prolonged rupture of membranes
prolonged labor >12 hours
C section
use of intrauterine pressure catheters or fetal scalp electrodes
signs Sx of endometritis postpratum
fever, uterine tenderness foul smelling lochia and leukocytosis
pathogens in postpartum enodmetritis
polymicrobial
Antibiotics for postpartum endometritis
clinda and genta IV
low grade fever and leukocytosis in first 24 hours postpartum
normal
management of missed spontaneous abortion
D and C
indication for induction labor for fetal demise
when coagulation studies are low normal range
impending DIC
chorioamninitis
prolonged rupture of membranes
>18 hours
Dx chorioamnionitis
maternal fever and 1+:
- uterine tenderness
- maternal or fetal tachy
- malodorous amniotic fluid
- purulent vaginal discharge
risk factor for chorioamnionitis
prolonged rupture of membranes
management chorioamnionitis
broad spec antibiotics and delivery
Dx intrauterine fetal demise
US
patient has confirmed intrauterine fetal demise and passes baby. next step to address?
autopsy to determine cause and if can prevent for future pregnancies
when is serial bhCG monitoring required post delivery
for molar pregnancies
what can you give patient if want to pass their spontaneous abortion at home
misoprostol
when to give anti D Ig or rhogam
28-32 weeks in Rh negative patient within 72 hours of delivery ectopic molar CSV or amniocentesis abdominal trauma 2nd and 3rd trimester bleeding external cephalic version
management for preterm labor
tocolytics, NSAIDs
corticosteroids and MgSO4 for neuroprotection
risk for fetus if mom has Hx of anorexia nervosa
higher risk for baby small for gestational age
common findings in anorexic patients
osteoporosis elevated cholesterol and carotene cardiac arrythmias like long QT euthyroid sick syndrome HPA dysfunction hyponatremia from drinking excess water
