Define arrest of labor
• No progress in the active phase of labor (>6 cm) with ruptured membranes for 4 hours without adequate contractions, or 6 hours of inadequate contractions
Managent of PROM
GBS status and deliver
Management of PPROM
Deliver after 34 weeks
Give steroids
Give the full name of a mono/di twin
Monochorionic/diamniotic
Time frame of twinning
♣ 0-4 days – dichorionic/diamniotic
♣ 4-8 days – monochorionic/diamniotic
♣ 8-12 days – monochorionic/monoamniotic
♣ >13 days – conjoined twins
Tx of uterine atony
♣ First line
• Dilute IV oxytocin + bedside uterine massage
♣ If first line is ineffective:
• Prostaglandin F2-alpha (Hemabate aka Carbaprost)
o Prostaglandin compound that stimulates myometrial contraction
o Contraindicated in asthmatic patients due to potential for bronchoconstriction
• Rectal misoprostol
• Methylergonovine Maleate (Methergine)
o An ergot alkaloid agent that induces myometrial contraction as a treatment of uterine atony
o Contraindicated in hypertension due to risk of stroke
Management of chorioamnionitis
♣ Broad spectrum IV antibiotics (e.g. ampicillin, gentamicin, clindamycin)
♣ Induction of labor - Caesarean is not necessary unless indicated
What is a threatened abortion
Pregnancy with vaginal spotting during the first half of pregnancy; but fetus is still viable
What is an incomplete abortion
Pregnancy <20 weeks associated with cramping, vaginal bleeding, open cervical os, and some passage of tissue but also retained tissue in utero
What is a missed abortion
Pregnancy <20 weeks with embryonic or fetal demise but no sx such as bleeding or cramping
What is an inevitable abortion
o Bleeding and cramping in the presence of a dilated cervix; indicates that passage of the conceptus is unavoidable
Management of septic abortion
Broad spectrum abx + uterine evacuation
What is the disease associated with recurrent pregnancy loss
Antiphospholipid syndrome
Tx of antiphospholipid syndrome
Anticoagulation = Aspirin + Heparin
What are the drugs used for medical abortion
Mifepristone (terminates pregnancy)
Followed by Misoprostol (Uterine cramping + expulsion of POC)
Next step in management of Rh- mom with +antibodies
Transcranial doppler - increased flow means that mom is attacking baby and baby is increasing flow to compensate for anemia
