16
Q

A rare obstetrical emergency that can present with a vaginal mass, massive hemorrhage, and hemodynamic instability. Uterus is not palpable post-partum.

A

Uterine Inversion

17
Q

A rare obstetrical emergency that can present with a vaginal mass, Rectal or vaginal pressure, massive hemorrhage (can be concealed bleeding), ± hemodynamic instability.

Risk factors include: Operative vaginal delivery (obstetric trauma), Infant ≥ 4kg (8.8 lb)

A

Vaginal hematoma

Nonexpanding: observation
Expanding: embolization, surgery

18
Q

Preeclampsia can present up to __ weeks postpartum with headache and hypertension.

A

6
(if pt has a focal neurologic deficits a CT head is indicated)

19
Q

Patients with ___ in their current pregnancy or those who delivered a prior infant with early-onset GBS infection are high risk and require intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis.

A

GBS bacteriuria

20
Q

Digital Cervical Exam may be insufficient for determining fetal presentation in patients with a bulging bag (which may be a normal finding s/t contractions tensing the sac).
If fetal presentation is indeterminate (no palpable presenting fetal part) on cervical exam, what is performed to confirm presentation and help determine route of delivery?

A

transabdominal ultrasound

Cephalic fetal presentation → managed expectantly
Non-cephalic (breech, transverse, funic/cord first) fetal presentations → cesarean delivery

21
Q

Presents with acute abdominal pain; a rigid, tender uterus; and high-frequency contractions.
Risk factors include cocaine and tobacco use, which cause placental vasoconstriction.

A

Placental Abruption

(20% have a concealed abruption w/ no visible bleeding. Usually have severe focal pain at the location of the placenta that progresses to diffuse uterine tenderness)

22
Q

Uncomplicated perineal lacerations (no fever or purulence) are managed how?

A

conservatively
(NSAIDs, sitz baths)

23
Q

Management of Placenta Accreta refractory to uterine massage, uterotonic meds, and manual extraction/ sharp uterine curettage of retained placenta.

A

Cesarean hysterectomy with placenta in situ

24
Q

Management of uterine inversion

A
  1. manual replacement (stop uterotonics)
  2. If refractory, uterine relaxants and laparotomy
25
Q

Neuraxial anesthesia (epidural) can cause maternal hypotension and decreased placental perfusion. FHT will show recurrent late fetal heart rate decelerations with every contraction.
Management is with what three interventions?

A

Left lateral patient positioning
IVF bolus
vasopressors (phenylephrine, vasopressin)

25
Q

Neuraxial anesthesia (epidural) can cause maternal hypotension and decreased placental perfusion. FHT will show recurrent late fetal heart rate decelerations with every contraction.
Management is with what three interventions?

A

Left lateral patient positioning
IVF bolus
vasopressors (phenylephrine, vasopressin)

26
Q

Presents with severe abdominal pain; uterine tenderness; a palpable, firm & tender mass; and signs of inflammation (eg, leukocytosis).

A

Uterine fibroid degeneration

(Leiomyomata uteri become an infarcted, degenerating uterine fibroid during pregnancy)

27
Q

Category 3 FHT (very bad) are defined by
1. Sinusoidal pattern
or
2. Absent variability PLUS one of what 3 FHT findings?

A

recurrent late decelerations (slow after every contraction)
recurrent variable decelerations (fast not always after every contraction)
bradycardia (Less than 100 bpm baseline)

28
Q

Management of Category 3 FHTs

A

Initial management is with intrauterine resuscitative interventions (maternal repositioning, Oxygen, IVFs)

If no improvement with initial management and are far from delivery require immediate cesarean delivery.

29
Q

Inevitable abortion presents with heavy vaginal bleeding, cramping, and a dilated cervix without passage of gestational tissue. ____ management is indicated for patients whose condition is hemodynamically unstable or has signs of infection?

A

suction curettage (surgical management)

30
Q

In Inevitable abortion where the pt is hemodynamically stable with minimal bleeding what 2 types of management are appropriate?

A

Medical induction (Misoprostol) or expectant management

31
Q

Persistently absent or minimal variability on fetal heart rate monitoring typically indicates fetal metabolic acidosis. However, certain ___ can also cause decreased variability (fetal CNS depression).

A

medications (opioids/narcotics)

32
Q

Indomethacin tocolysis (inhibit contractions) is indicated in patients with preterm labor at __ weeks gestation.
*can cause oligohydramnios and premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus (benefits > risks)

A

<32

33
Q

Pregnancy complicated by chronic hypertension confers an elevated risk of ___ & ___ due to uteroplacental insufficiency.

A

fetal growth restriction (<10th percentile)

A

Intrauterine fetal demise
fetal macrosomia (>90th percentile)

35
Q

Diabetes mellitus in pregnancy increases the risk for ___ & ___
