Q

HOW MUCH DOES THE CRL INCREASE?

A

8MM PER DAY

19
Q

HOW DOES THE EMBRYONIC HEART E ACCELERATE AND FOR HOW LONG?

A

LINEARLY FROM THE 5 TO 9 WEEK. OR BEFORE THE CRL REACHES 2.5CM (9 WKS)

20
Q

WHAT IS THE APPROX BPM BETWEEN THE 1ST BEAT AND 9TH WK?

A

100 BPM

21
Q

WHAT IS THE FORMULA FOR ESTIMATING EMBRYONIC AGE?

A

LMP DAYS = EHR X .3 +6 DAYS

22
Q

WHAT IS A CRL AGE EXCEEDING THE HEART RATE INDICATIVE OF?

A

A NEGATIVE OUTCOME

23
Q

HOW ARE FETAL HEART RATES TAKEN?

A

USING M-MODE & MAGNIFYING THE EMBRYO AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE

24
Q

WHAT IS THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED MEANS OF MEASURING FETAL HEAD AND ESTIMATING THE FETUS AGE DURING THE 2ND TRIMESTER?

A

BIPARIETAL DIAMETER

25
Q

WHERE SHOULD THE BPD BE MEASURED AT?

A

PERP TO FETAL SKULL AT LEVEL OF THALAMUS AND SEPTUM PELLUCIDUM.

26
Q

WHAT ARE THE INTRACRANIAL LANDMARKS THAT SHOULD ALSO BE SEEN WHEN MEASURING BPD?

A

FALX, CSP, THALAMUS, AND CHOROID PLEXUS IN THE ATRIUM

27
Q

HOW ARE THE CALIPERS PLACED DURING BPD?

A

FROM THE OUTER EDGE TO INNER EDGE.
NO SOFT TISSUE INCLUDED.
THE PARIETAL BONES SHOULD NOT EXCEED 3MM EACH.

28
Q

IF THE FETUS IS TOO LARGE FOR CRL & BPD ANATOMY CANNOT BE DISTINGUISHED WHAT SHOULD BE USED INSTEAD?

A

THE CHORIOD PLEXUS LEVEL

29
Q

WHAT TECHNIQUE CAN PRODUCE A FALSE THICKENING AND INCORRECT MSMTS WHEN TRYING TO OBTAIN BPD?

A

HAVING THE GAIN SETTINGS TO HIGH

30
Q

WHEN SHOULD THE BPD NOT BE USED TO DATE PRGNANCYS?

A

IN SEVERE CASES OF CEPHALIC ANOMALIES

31
Q

WHEN DOES FETAL SKULL COMPRESSION OCCUR?

A
  • NML VERTEX POSITION
  • UT TUMORS
  • ## INTRAUTERINE CROWDING (MULTIPLE BABIES)
32
Q

WHERE IS THE HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE (HC) TAKEN AT?

A

IN THE TRV PLANE & AT SAME LEVEL OF BPD FROM FROZEN IMAGE WITH THE CALIPERS ON THE OUTER BORDER OF EACH SIDE.

33
Q

HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE OCCIPTIAL FRONTAL DIAMETER (OFD)?

A

FROM THE OUTER BORDER OF THE OCCIPUT TO THE OUTER BORDER OF THE FRONTAL BONE.

34
Q

THIS HEAD SHAPE WILL SHOW A SHORTENED BPD WITH AN ELONGATED OFD.

A

DOLICHOCEPHALY (FOOTBALL)

35
Q

THIS HEAD WILL SHOW AN ENLONGATED BPD WITH A SHORTEND OFD.

A

BRACHYCEPHALY (BASKETBALL)

36
Q

WHAT DOES THE CEPHALIC INDEX (CI) DETERMINE?

A

THE NORMALITY OF THE FETAL HEAD SHAPE. AN ABNML CI MAY BE AN EARLY INDICATION OF IMPENDING FETAL DEATH.

37
Q

WHAT IS THE FORMULA FOR CI?

A

CI = BPD/OFD X 100

38
Q

WHAT IS THE ABDOMINAL CIRCUMFERENCE USED FOR?

A

TO MONITOR FETAL GROWTH AND DETECTING FETAL GROWTH DISTURBANCES LINKE IUGR AND MACROSOMIA NOT GA.

39
Q

WHERE IS THE A.C. MEASURED AT?

A

IN TRV PLANE AT THE LEVEL OF LIVER WHERE THE UMBILICAL VEIN BRANCHES INTO THE LPV (J-SHAPE).

40
Q

WHAT LANDMARK WILL INDICATE TOO LOW FOR AC TO BE OBTAINED?

A

KIDNEYS

41
Q

WHAT IS BONE IS ALWAYS MEASURED WHEN DETERMINING THE GA?

A

FEMUR

42
Q

HOW IS THE FEMUR MEASURED?

A
  • TRD ROTATED UNTIL FULL LENGHT OF FEMR IS SEEN AND THE ENDS SHOULD BE BLUNT NOT POINTED.
  • MEASURED FROM MAJOR TROCHANTER TO EXT CONDYLE NOT INCLUDING FEM HEAD.
43
Q

WHAT DETERMINES THE GA?

A

AVERAGE OF BPD, HC, AC, AND FL

44
Q

A

5MM +/- 3MM

IF > THEN 10MM IT IS ABNML

45

WHAT SHOULD THE NUCHAL FOLDS MEASURE?

A

LESS THAN 3MM
