OBGYN Flashcards
letrozole
aromatase inhibitor
↓ estrogen
PCOS
Breech presentation
C-section, unless baby is already halfway out
nifedipine
Ca+2 channel blocker
tocolytic
Can be used to control BP in preganancy/preeclampsia
available sublingually for fast action
Turner Syndrome
FSH/LH levels
Estrogen levels
Primary amenorrhea and short stature
↓ estrogen (streak ovaries)
↑ FSH and LH
Chlamydia tx
azithromycin or doxycycline
Gonorrhea tx
ceftriaxone
CA-125
epithelial ovarian cancer
Hyditaform mole sequela
gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN)
monitor ß-hCG until it is zero
if elevated ß-hCG persists → GTN
Uterine rupture
loss of fetal station
FHR monitoring abnormalities (late decelerations?)
intense abdominal pain
bleeding
Abruptio placentae
tectonic contractions (sinusoidal, frequent, small amplitude)
Hyditaform mole diagnosis
↑ ß-hCG
cyst-filled uterus that is larger than it should be for age
snowstorm appearance
vaginal bleeding
Ulipristal
Contraceptive
Can be taken up to 120 hours after intercourse
progestin receptor blocker
Delays ovulation and impairs implantation
inadequate contractions
<200 Montevideo units
Non-stress test
Reactive vs Nonreactive
Continuous FHR monitoring for 20-40 minutes
≥2 accelerations → Reactive (normal)
<2 accelerations → Nonreactive (abnormal)
accelerations = increase of 15bpm for 15 seconds
if nonreactive, complete a biophysical profile
biophysical profile of 8-10 = normal
0-7 means delivery (induction or C-section depending on how bad it is)
Nonreactive is nonspecific for fetal hypoxia/acidemia, or it could just mean baby is sleeping
Lochia
postpartum vaginal discharge
Lochia rubra → blood and clots (day 0-4)
Lochia serosa → serosanguinous (clear to pink) (day 4-10)
Lochia alba → white/yellow creamy (day 10-28)
retained products of conception
heavy postpartum bleeding
BV tx
Clindamycin or metronidazole
intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
Risk of fetal demise due to bile acids in blood, which are toxic
the higher the bile acid levels, the higher the risk
pruritus of hands and feet
Syphilis tx
penicillin
Penicillin allergy → doxy or ceftriaxone
Phenytoin birth defects
Distal finger hypoplasia
cleft lip/palate
microcephaly
tamoxifen
SERM
treats and prevents breast cancer
↑ risk of endometrial cancer or uterine sarcoma
Osteogenesis imperfecta type II
Bone fractures
limb shortening
hypoplastic thoracic cage
fetal demise
lichen sclerosus tx
topical corticosteroids
Preeclampsia
HTN
proteinuria (elevated protein-creatinine ratio)
Lower extremity hyper-reflexia and ankle myoclonus
Interstitial cystitis
Chronic bladder pain without infection
amitryptiline is first line tx
Fetal heart block
SLE
bradycardia
Uterine tachysystole
> 5 contractions/10 minutes
Methylergonivine
Second line Uterotonic (↓ postpartum bleeding)
Contraindicated in HTN
