Psychiatric eval and tx

23
Q

A

28 weeks and after delivery if infant is Rh(D) positive

26

What antidepressant is contraindicated in pregnancy

A

Paroxetine - increased risk of cardiac malformations and persistent pulmonary HTN

27
Q

Describe intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP)

A
  • Intrahepatic cholestasis of unknown etiology in pregnancy whereby the patient usually complains of pruritus with or without jaundice and no skin rash
  • Bile salts are incompletely cleared by the liver, accumulate in the body, and are deposited in the dermis, causing pruritus
28
Q

Tx of ICP

A

• Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) – decreases total serum bile acid levels and helps to relieve the itching

29
Q

Describe Pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy (PUPP)

A

♣ A common skin condition of unknown etiology unique to pregnancy characterized by intense pruritic and erythematous papules on the abdomen that spread extremities and often the buttocks

30
Q

Tx of PUPP

A

♣ Therapy includes topical corticosteroids and antihistamines

31
Q

What proteinuria values are diagnostic for Pre-E

A

> 300 mg on a 24 hour urine, P:C >0.3

32
Q

What proteinuria value is diagnostic for Pre-E with severe features

A

> 500 mg*

33
Q

Tx of 39 week woman with new Pre-E without severe features

A

Delivery

Do not need mag

34
Q

Tx of eclampsia

A
  • Magnesium IM or IV

- Delivery after maternal stabilization

35
Q

What is the therapeutic level of magnesium

A

4-7 mEq/L

36
Q

A

7-10 meq/L

37
Q

What can occur at mag levels of 11-15

A

Respiratory depression

38
Q

What can occur at mag levels >15

A

Cardiac arrest

39
Q

What is the risk of isoimmunization in an Rh- woman who gave birth to a Rh+ baby without Rhogam

A

2% antepartum
7% after full term delivery
7% with subsequent pregnancy

So less than 20% total

42
Q

Describe theory for etiology of hydrops fetalis

A

Severe anemia may cause heart failure, or induction of the hematopoietic centers in the liver to replace normal liver tissue, leading to low serum protein
