obs and gynae Flashcards
Risk of diabetes
S- Shoulder dystocia M- macrosomia A- amniotic fluid excess S- Still birth H- Hypertension and neonatal hypoglycaemia
What is gravida
the number of times a women has concieved
What is parity
no. of times women has delivered p >24 and up smaller is <24 doesnt include the current preganancy
currently 12/40 two miscariages 8/40 and 20/40 and son born at 38/40
G= 4 - conceived 4 times P= 1+2
not pregnant has twins born 34/40
g= 1 p =2+0
currently 28/40 one previous ectopic two terminations of pregnancy both 6/40 one still birth at 25/40
g= 5 P= 1+3 - doesnt include the current pregnancy
primigravid meaning
G1P0
nulliparous
no live baby delivered - so name is given to those who have never given birth and to those who have had stillbirths
multiparous
one or more babies delivered
What is nagele rule
LMP subtract 3 months add 1 year 7 days
the two tests in the first trimester
booking (10 weeks), dating scan (11 weeks) and combined screening test (at 11-13 weeks)
What is tested in combined scrrening
NT and two serum markers PAPPA and hCG gives a early result and has a high detection rate
What to do if late for combined testing
Quadruple test
Quadruple test consists of
AFP HCG oestriadiol and inhibin A combined with maternal age gives a individualised risk
What happens with a positive quadruple or combo test
offered cvs or amniocenthesis - cvs is earlier andtherefore has a higher miscarriage rate
If you are rich what test can you do
non invasive prenatal testing in which detect free dna of fetus in maternal circulation
Are cephalic and breech types of lie
no
The risks of breech presentation
fetal hypoxia
increase fetal mortality and morbiditu
cord prolapse
Difficulty delivering head
How is ECV done
uterine relaxants are given to relax the uterus pripr to the prcoedure these are tetrabutaline or salbutamol fetal heart and ctg are monitoried benefits is it may prevent c section and all the risks that come with it
Causes of polyhydraminos
DITCH - Diabetes, idiopathic, twins, congenital abnormalities , heart failure
RRisks of polyhydraminos
6p’s - placental abruption, pretty unusual lie premature labour prolapse of cord post partum haemhorrhage oerinatal mortality
MOL - Every decent female is crowned rubies lovingly
enhgagement in transverse position
decent of head into pelvis
flexsion
internal rotation as head hits the floow
crowns- extends head in delivery
restitiution- external rotation
lateral flexsion of head to deliver shoulders
Inidications for induction
4p’s - post dates prelabour rupture of membranes preeclampsia plus diabetes
how does membrane swweep work
digital vaginal examination into the uterus to release hormones which may tirgger labour
Three stages of induction
cervical ripening and artificial rupture of mmebranes cervicall diataiton to fully dilates
when is propess and prostin used
propess in nulliparous its a pessary and gel prostin in multips
bishop score less than 5
more prostin needed
Bisphop score 5-8
consider more propess but artifical rupture of memebranes may be needed
BS greater 8
amniotomy further prostin not needed - but amniotomy has a risk of cord prolapse
how are contractions generated to create cervical dilatation
by iv oxytocin
What is the management in uterine hyperstimulation
terbutaline must be administered
WHat is pelivc girdle pain
symphysieal pubis dysfunction due to mechanical strain on the pelvic girl
what is symphyseal pubis pain
radiates to groin and medical tights worse on standing on one leg and going up stairs worse when abducting hip when getting out of bath or into the car tender of the pubis symphesis hip abduction reporduces symptoms
mangement of pelvic girdle and sympheseal pubis pain
keep active within limits of pain and sleep witha . pillow between legs pelvic floor excersizes get a physio to help iuse paracetamol and avoid NSAIDS
coMFORT ZONE OF A WOMEN
MEASURE THE COMFORT ZONE AND AVOID ABUCTION BEYOND THE COMFORT ZONE AND OFFER EPIDURAL IN LABOUR ESPECIALLY IN W OMEN WHO IS HAVE SYMPHYSEAL PELVIS OR PELVIC GIRLDLE PAIN
effect of pregnancy on pre exisiting diabetes
deterioration in renal funtion if pre exisitinf nephropathy can manifest as hypertension and hyperglycaemia
What timester does GDM start
second trimester - preganacy is in a diabretogenic state
When is the OGTT taken
24-28 weeks but after booking if had GDM in a previous prganancy - this is the only form of diagnosis monitoring thereafter will take place with HBA1C
