OBGYN 3 Flashcards
What is vasa previa
Umbilical vessels that are not protected by cord or membranes, which ross the internal cervical os in front of the fetal presenting part
What does sinusoidal FHR pattern indicate
Usually indicates fetal anemia or bleeding
What does chorionicity refer to
• The number of placentas in a twin or higher order gestation
What does amnionicity refer to
• The number of amniotic sacs in a twin or higher order gestation
Describe the chorionicity/amnionicity of twinning based on timing of division
♣ 0-4 days – dichorionic/diamniotic
♣ 4-8 days – monochorionic/diamniotic
♣ 8-12 days – monochorionic/monoamniotic
♣ >13 days – conjoined twins
Describe possible chorionicity/amnionicity of mono vs. dizygotic twins
Dizygotic twins are always dichorionic/diamniotic
Monozygotic twins can be mono/mono, mono/di, or di/di
Indications for C-sx in mom’s with HSV
Presence of prodromal sx of lesions along the genital tract
What is the point of treating with Acyclovir in a primary infection of pregnant woman
Decreases viral shedding and duration of infection
Does NOT affect the likelihood of future recurrence, patient’s immune response, or transplacental transmission
What are the 2 most common causes of antepartum hemorrhage
Placenta previa and placenta abruption
Describe the difference in presentation between placenta previa and abruption
Previa = painless vaginal bleeding
Abruption = painful secondary to contractions
Management of placenta previa
Expectant management as long as the bleedin is not excessive. C-sx at 34 weeks gestation
Cocaine use is a risk factor for what antepartum complication
Placenta abruption
due to vasospasm
What is the most significant risk factor for placenta abruption
Trauma
Management of placental abruption with fetal demise
Vaginal delivery
What is a myomectomy
Surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus
Diagnose: No separation of placenta after delivery
Placenta accreta
Management of placenta accreta
Hysterectomy
Define placenta accreta
placenta attaches to myometrium without penetration
