obgyn Flashcards
- restrictive airway disease
- 1/3 worsen, 1/3 improve, 1/3 remain the same
- manage: maintain adequate oxygen, use of albuterol, steroids and nebs PRN
Asthma in pregnancy
- increased risk to pneumonia
- vaccine can be used during pregnancy
- chemoprophylaxis for those who havent been exposed.
Influenza A or B in pregnancy
- common
- may cause subacute bacterial endocarditis, HF, pulm edema
- 90% : mitral valve stenosis worsens with increased cardiac output needs d/t pregnancy
Rheumatic heart disease in pregnancy
Occasionally encountered w/ PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL TACH
Cardiac Dz in pregnancy
- rare severe cardiac condition
- last month of pregnancy through first 6 months PP
- high mortality rate
- Prognosis: better w/ return to normal heart size
- Sterilization should be discussed with persistent cardiomyopathy
Peripartum Cardiomyopathy in pregnancy
- Predominant change in preeclampsia and gestational HTN is MATERNAL VASOSPASM.
Patho phys of HTN in pregnancy
Mechanisms:
- vascular changes
- Hemostatic changes
- Changes in prostanoids
- Changes in endothelium-derived factors
- Lipid peroxide, free radical, antiox release
Mechanisms of HTN dz in pregnancy
Effects:
CV: elevated BP
Hematology: plasma volume contraction = increase Hct, risk of hypovolemic shock in event of hemorrhage
—> Risk of DIC, liver involvement, third spacing of fluid (increase BP , decrease plasma oncotic pressure
-
Effects of HTN in pregnancy
Decreased GFR and proteinuria d/t atherosclerotic-like changes in renal vessels; Decrease uric acid filtering and leads to increase maternal serum levels
HTN effect on Renal
Edema
Left heart failure
fluid overload
HTN effect on Pulmonary
decreased placental perfusion secondary to vasospasm leadst IUGR
- oligohydramnios, placental abruption, increased incidence of perinatal mortality
-
HTN dz on Fetals
risk factors for? 1. primipravity 2. prior hx with IUP 3. chronic HTN, chronic renal dz or both 4, hx of thrombophilia 5. multi fetal gestation or invitro 6. FHx 7. DM 1 OR 2 ; OBESITY 8. SLE
Risk factors for HTN disease in pregnancy
Classifcation
- elevated BP that predates conception or before 20 weeks EGA
Chronic HTN in dz
New onset BP elevation > 20 weeks EGA before EKG /near term in absence of associated proteinuria
- failure to normalize PP = diagnostic chronic HTN
- progress mild to severe to preeclampsia
- Chronic HTN w/ superimposed preeclampsia
Gestational HTN, on HTN dz of pregnancy
- new onset HTN, new onset proteinuria > 20 weeks EGA
- Other sx with HTN
- Without severe sx progress to severe
Preeclampsia
Additional presence of seizures in patient w/ pre-eclampsia and w/out neuro hx
Eclampsia
complication = HELLP syndrome
- Hemolysis, elevated liver enzyme, low platelet
- sudden deterioration of maternal and fetal condition
- REQUIRES: cardiovascular stabilization, correct coag abnml (platelet transfusion), and delivery
- STAT delivery
Preeclampsia- eclampsia syndrome
HTN WITH:
- proteinuria & edema >20 weeks of pregnancy
- -> persistent SBP greater/= to 140-160, or DPB great/= 90-110
- —> 2 occasions 4 hours apart in pt. w previously normal BP
- —> proteinuria = 1+ dipstick or > 300 mg per 24 h urine or protein/creatine ratio = >.3 mg/dl - TCP ( 20 weeks EGA
- elevated LFTs (transaminases 2x normal) > 20 weeks EGA
- serum creatinine > 1.1 mg/dl or double serum creat in absent of other renal dz >20 weeks EGA
- Pulmonary edema or cerebral-visual disturbances >20 weeks EGA
Pre-eclampsia WITHOUT severe features (htn dz of pregnancy)
HTN WITH:
1. Proteinuria & edema > 20th week pregnancy
–> persistent SBP >160 , or DPB > 110
(2 occasions 4 hours apart pt on BED REST)
2. TCP platelets 1.1 mg/dl or double serum creat in absent other renal dz
6. Pulmonary edema or new onset cerebral-visual sx
Pre-eclampsia WITH severe features (htn dz of pregnancy)
No single test yet to predict , not FDA approved and not available in US
- Angiogenesis proteins, PAPP-A, Placental protein 13, Uric Acid
Diagnosis - s/s w/ lab studies
Prevention - no unequivocal intervention
Pre-eclampsia (htn dz of pregnancy)
What is not absolutely required to diagnose pre-eclampsia?
PROTEINURIA
Rx/ Management
: No HA, visual change, SOB, RUQ/epigastric pain, dec FM, UC, abdl’pain, leaking fluid, vaginal spotting, sudden wt. gain
Signs: monitor maternal BP and fundal height
- Another maternal BP w/ NST visit
- Urine protein w/ each visit - gestational HTN PT
- Abnormal FH NON-REACTIVE NST = BPP
Rx management for: Preeclampsia w/ No severe features or ONLY gestational HTN
(htn dz of pregnancy)
Rx. management
- Hospitalize state with changes suggestive of severe gestational HTN or severe preeclampsia
- -> RX: MAGNESIUM SULFATE (prevent seizures)
- -> antiHTN meds
Preeclampsia (htn dz of pregnancy)
Hospitalize and deliver
- greater than equal to 37 weeks EGA or suspect abruption
- greater than equal to 34 wks EGA progressive labor/and or ROM,
- – US fetal wt
