Bishop scores explained

< …. - indicates that labour is unlikely to start without induction
_>….. - indicates that the cervix is ripe, or ‘favourable’ - there is a high chance

Management
Conservative:
-

Medical NICE GUIDELINES

Bishop <_ …. = (2)
Bishop > … = (2)

A

< 5 - indicates that labour is unlikely to start without induction
_>8 - indicates that the cervix is ripe, or ‘favourable’ - there is a high chance

Management
Conservative:
- membrane sweep

Medical NICE GUIDELINES

Bishop <_ 6
1. vaginal prostaglandins or oral misoprostol
2. mechanical methods such as a balloon catheter can be considered if the woman is at higher risk of hyperstimulation or has had a previous caesarean

Bishop > 6 = amniotomy and an intravenous oxytocin infusion

Q

What is Mittelschmerz?

A

Mid cycle pain is very common and is due to the small amount of fluid released during ovulation. Inflammatory markers are usually normal and the pain typically subsides over the next 24-48 hours- pain usually 2 weeks after normal period on ovulation

Q

Admission criteria for hyperemesis gravidarum (3)

management of anti-emetics
1. First-line-
2. Second-line - and a SE!

What anti-emetic is NOT used for more than 5 days and why?

A

Admission criteria for hyperemesis gravidarum
1. Continued n + v and unable to keep down liquids or oral antiemetics
2. Continued n + v with ketonuria and/or weight loss (greater than 5% of body weight), despite treatment with oral antiemetics
3. A confirmed or suspected comorbidity (for example she is unable to tolerate oral antibiotics for a urinary tract infection)

management of anti-emetics
1. First-line- antihistamines: oral cyclizine or promethazine
or phenothiazines: oral prochlorperazine or chlorpromazine
2. Second-line - oral ondansetron: ondansetron during the first trimester is associated with a small increased risk of the baby having a cleft lip/palate.

oral metoclopramide or domperidone: metoclopramide may cause extrapyramidal side effects. It should therefore not be used for more than 5 days

Q

In a molar preg what will you see very high on bloods and how des this effect TSH and T3/T4

A
  • V high b-hCG!

B-hCG stimulates thyroid to produce more T3 and T4 so present as thyrotoxicosis.

As a result -ve feedback shows LOW TSH!

23
Q

At what BP should you Arrange emergency secondary care assessment for any woman in whom pre-eclampsia is suspected

A

women with blood pressure ≥ 160/110 mmHg are likely to be admitted and observed

24
Q
A

Engagement and station are essentially the same thing but described with relation to different points of reference.

Engagement is an abdominal palpation finding- When the widest part of the baby enters the pelvic rim or inlet

Station is a vaginal examination finding- used to describe the head in relation to the ischial spine. The station is ‘0’ when the head is directly at the level of the ischial spines, if the station was describes as -2, it would be 2cm above the ischial spines, and it was +2 it would be 2cm below the ischial spine.

25
Q

7 discrete sequences of delivery :

A

Engagement.
Descent.
Flexion.
Internal rotation.
Extension.
Restitution and external rotation.
Expulsion.

26
Q

Women who have been admitted with hyperemesis gravidarum with electrolyte changes are given what fluid?

A

generally given IV normal saline with added potassium as hypokalaemia is common
Im

27
Q

Which endocrine blood finding is keeping with the diagnosis of Turner’s syndrome

A

Raised FSH/LH in primary amenorrhoea - consider gonadal dysgenesis (e.g. Turner’s syndrome)

Gonadal dysgenesis causes an increase in FSH/LH by the negative feedback cycle to try to compensate for the lack of oestrogen and progesterone produced by the ovaries.

28
Q

Potentially sensitising events in pregnancy: (10)

when do you give anti-d?

A

Ectopic pregnancy
- Evacuation of retained products of conception and molar pregnancy
- Vaginal bleeding < 12 weeks, only if painful, heavy or persistent
- Vaginal bleeding > 12 weeks
- Chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis
- Antepartum haemorrhage
- Abdominal trauma
- External cephalic version
- Intra-uterine death
- Post-delivery (if baby is RhD-positive)

to non-sensitised Rh -ve mothers at 28 and 34 weeks

29
Q

When should you screen for GDM in someone who has had a diagnosis of GDM in a previous preg?

A

Women with gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy should be offered an OGTT as soon as possible after booking and subsequently at 24-28 weeks

30
Q

what do you treat PE with in preg?

A

Suspected PE in pregnant women with a confirmed DVT: treat with LMWH first then investigate to rule in/out

31
Q

What would dictate doing Chorionic villous sampling over amniocentesis or vice versa

A

Amniocentesis is usually performed from week 15 onwards

Chorionic villous sampling between 11 weeks and the end of the 13th week

obvs amniocentesis is much more invasive so take that into account

32
Q

what would you see on blod for PCOS? (3)

A
  • raised LH:FSH ratio
  • testosterone may be normal or mildly elevated
  • SHBG is normal to low
33

adenomyosis

Woman aged > 30 years with dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia,

34
Q

if somone has just started the implant and had heavy irreg bleeding, what can you do?

A

3 months of COCP added

35
Q

When should you refer to breastfeed clinic if concerned over babies weight?

If a breastfed baby loses > 10% of birth weight in the first week of life then referral to a midwife-led breastfeeding clinic may be appropriate

A

Up to 1 year post-partum

Mx- don’t use anti-thyroid drugs for the hyperthyroid part, just use symptomatic propanalol

40
Q

Stage 2 of labour
from when until when?

Passive stage =

Active stage =
- Is it more or less painful than passive?
- Normal time…
- If longer than… then consider (1 of 3 from)

A

From fully dilated to baby delivered

Passive stage = 2nd stage but in the absence of pushing (normal)

Active stage = active process of maternal pushing
- active is less painful than passive as lushing masks the pain
- lasts 1 hour
- I longer than 1 hour consider forceps, vontouse or c-section

  • episiotomy may be necessary following crowning
  • associated with transient fetal bradycardia

Q

CTG Interpretation

Normal HR-

Abnormal Features what do they mean

Baseline bradycardia
- what is it?
- (2)

Baseline tachycardia
- what is the rate
- causes (4)

Loss of baseline variability- what does that mean?
- causes (2)

Early deceleration
- What does it mean?
- cause (1)

Late decelerations
- What does it mean?
- cause (2)

Variable decelerations
-What does it mean?
- cause (1)

A

Normal HR- 160 (100-160)

Baseline bradycardia
- <100
- mum on B-blocker or increased fetal vagal tone

Baseline tachycardia
- Heart rate > 160 /min
- Maternal pyrexia, chorioamnionitis, hypoxia, prematurity

Loss of baseline variability meaning
< 5 beats / min
Prematurity, hypoxia

Early deceleration
- deceleration of HR which starts on the onset of contraction and returns to normal when contraction is completed
- usually fine nd means babies head is compresssed

Late decelerations
- deceleration which lags behind ontraction and doesnt return to normal until 30s following end of contraction
- Indicates fetal distress e.g. asphyxia or placental insufficiency

Variable decelerations
- Independent of contractions
- May indicate cord compression

45
Q

Station
‘0’ when the head is…

A

‘0’- head is directly at the level of the ischial spines

-2, it would be 2cm above the ischial spines

+2 it would be 2cm below the ischial spine

46
Q

Station
‘0’ when the head is…

A
