OBGYN 5 Flashcards
Describe quad screen for Down syndrome
Remember that Downs is UP
- AFP and Estriol are down in both Downs and Edwards
- hcG and Inhibin A are UP
Describe quad screen for Edwards
Remember that Edwards is down
- AFP and Estriol are down in both Downs and Edwards
- hcG and Inhibin A are DOWN
What tests make up 1st trimester screen
- US for nuchal translucency (normal <3 mm)
- PAPP-A
- hcG
What tests make up quad screen
o hcG
o AFP
o Estriol
o Inhibin A
Next step: currently pregnant woman with unknown GBS status but with previous GBS disease baby
Give intrapartum abx prophylaxis. No need to check GBS status because she will get abx regardless
Tx of umbilical cord prolapse
Elevate fetal head and arrange for C-section
Tx of baby born to meconium stained fluid
If newborn is depressed, intubate trachea and suction meconium from beneath the glottis
If newborn is vigorous, tracheal suctioning is not necessary - will more likely just cause damage to the vocal cords
Are babies of T1DM moms likely to be large or small
Small
Macrosomic infants are typically associated with gestational diabetes
Describe complications associated with a baby of mom with poorly controlled gestational DM in relation to:
- Size
- Sugar
- RBC
- Bilirubin
- Calcium
- Macrosomia
- Stillbirth
- Hypoglycemia
- Polycythemia
- Hyperbilirubinemia
- Hypocalcemia
- Respiratory distress
What is the protocol of a baby delivered by an HIV+ mother on treatment with undetectable viral load
- Start AZT immediately after deliver
- Start HIV testing at 24 hours
- Breast feeding is contraindicated
Should HIV infected mom deliver vaginally or via csx
Depends on viral load
- Viral load < 1000 = vaginal delivery as long as no other contraindications
- Viral load > 1000 = csx
What are the 5 components of apgar scoring
A = appearance/color P = pulse G = grimace/reaction A = activity/muscle tone R = respiratory effort
Describe scoring of appearance/color
2 = completely pink 1 = acrocyanosis 0 = blue/pale
Describe pulse of apgar scoring
2 = > 100 bpm 1 = < 100 bpm 0 = absent
Describe apgar scoring of grimace/reaction
2 = cough/sneeze/gag 1 = grimace 0 = no response
Describe apgar scoring of activity/muscle tone
2 = flexed/active motion 1 = some flexion of extremities 0 = limp
Describe apgar scoring of respiratory effort
2 = good, crying 1 = slow, irregular 0 = absent
Describe presentation of Sheehan synrome
♣ Panhypopituitarism
♣ Failure to lactate, absent menstruation, cold intolerance
♣ Slow mental function, weight gain, fatigue, difficulty staying warm, no milk production, hypotension, and amenorrhea
Tx of Sheehan syndrome
♣ Estrogen and Progesterone replacement and supplementation with thyroid and adrenal hormones
