Obstetrics Flashcards
dx: appendicitis in preggers
graded compression u/s
if U/S not diagnostic you can MRI
tx: DVT in preggers
LWMH
when can you get sheehan syndrome
right after childbirth or even months/years later
tx for acute sheenhan syndrome
IV dexamethasone
then MRI the head to r/o other crap
tx: hyperthyroid for preggers
propylthiouracil 1st trimester
methimazole 2nd, 3rd
tx: lyme in preggers
amoxicillin
why do preggers get GDM?
human placental lactogen (aka chorionic somatomammotropin) increases insulin resistance
how much folic acid for preggers
normal: 0.4 mg
high risk: 4 mg
cord compression tx
corticosteroids
quad screen
triple screen + inhibin A
hCG, unconjugated estriol, AFP, inhibin A
quad screen results: + for Downs
decreased AFP
decreased estriol
increased inhibin
increased hCG
management: screening for downs
low risk can get triple screen
high risk (>35, late prenatal) get quad
if + –> genetic counseling
then offer amniocentesis
pregger: fever, abd pain and sausage shaped mass near umbilicus
septic pelvic pain thrombophlebitis
pregger/laboring: fever, tachy, tender uterus, foul smelling amniotic fluid
chorioamnionitis
post partum pelvic pain, foul smelling lochia
endometritis
vag bleeding 20+ weeks: painless vs painful
painless = placenta previa or vasa previa painful = placental abruption
possible problems with babies from DM moms
resp distress syndrome hypertrophic CM (elevated insulin) hypoglycemia (elevated insulin) hypocalcemia (low PTH) polycythemia (hi EPO) hypomagnesemia (Mg excreted by mom kidneys) hyperbilirubinemia (increased hemolysis)
normal fetal HR
110 - 160
tx for GDM
- lifestyle
2. + insulin or glyburide
most effective dating method first TM
transvaginal sonogram: crown-rump length
diff btwn incomplete and inevitable abortion
inevitable is before passage of tissue , incomplete has some or all tissue passed (both have open os)
management: placenta previa
< 36 wks: conservative, repeat U/S before delivery
> 36 wks: U/S, most –> C-section, ant-marginal –> can try vaginal
diff btwn gestational HTN and preeclampsia
preeclampsia has proteinuria or signs of end organ damage
MC breech
frank (butt presents, hips flexed, knees extended)
tx: low breast milk production
- increase feedings
- metoclopramide (D2 antag)
also make sure shes not on combined OCPs
latent phase of labor
effacement and dilation up to 4 cm
prolonged latent phase
null: > 20
multi: > 14
active phase of labor
eff/dil from 4 - 10 cm
prolonged active phase
null: < 1.2 cm/hr
multi: < 1.5 cm/hr
arrested active phase
no dilation in 2 hrs in active phase
second phase of labor
from 10 cm to delivery
prolonged second phase
null: 2 hrs
multi: 1 hr
third stage of labor
baby out to placenta out
prolonged third stage
> 30 min
shiny, peeling areola (breastfeeding)
candidiasis of nipple
tx: nipple candadiasis
-azole cream on nipple
oral azole for baby (thrush)
MCC mastitis
staph aureus
when can you see a gestational sac (BhCG)
transvag: > 1,500
abdominal: > 6,500
BhCG growth: normal vs ectopic
normal: double/48 - 72 hrs
ectopic: lower
dx: ectopic pregnancy
transvag U/S and serial BhCGs
mgmt: ectopic pregnancy
methotrexate
unstable: surgery
mgmt: preterm labor by dates
34 - 36.6: +/- corticosteroids (betamethasone), PCN if GBS(+)/unknown
32 - 33.6: add tocolytics (indomethacin, nifedipine)
< 32: add magnesium sulfate
why do you give mg sulfate for preterm labor
fetal neuroprotection (eg cerebral palsy)
when to cervical cerclage
cervix < 2.5 cm
mgmt: uterine inversion
immediate manual replacement if can't replace, try uterotonics uterotonics once it's replaced (remove placenta after it's replaced if still attached) if nothing works -- laparotomy
baby complications of DM mom (1st TM)
congenital heart dz
NTD
small L colon
spontaneous abortion
baby complications of DM mom (2/3 TM)
hyperinsulinemia polycythemia (up met demand --> hypoxia) organomegaly hypoglycemia brachial plexopathy, clavicle frx, perinatal asphyxia (macrosomia, shoulder dystocia)
preeclampsia: baby risks
chronic uteroplacental insuff –> growth restriction/LBW
not hypoxia, which is due to acute UPI
preeclampsia: mom risks
placental abruption
DIC
eclampsia
fetal non-stress test: what is a reactive result?
110 - 160 bpm mod variability (6 - 25/min) 2+ accelerations in 20 min (each 15+ high and 15+ s long)
causes of non-reactive non-stress test
fetal sleep (MC)
fetal hypoxia (from UPI)
fetal cardiac abnormalities
fetal neuro abnormalities
mgmt: nonstress test
reactive? great, 20 min is good
nonreactive? extend to 40 - 120 min (feti only sleep 40 min at a time)
all nonreactive need follow up biophysical profile or contraction stress test
causes of fetal tachycardia
maternal fever
maternal hyperTh
meds (terbutaline)
placental abruption
definition of fetal growth restriction
U/S estimated weight < 10th percentile for gestational age
symmetric vs asymmetric fetal growth restriction
symmetric: see it 1st TM; global growth lag
asymmetric: see in 2nd/3rd; head-sparing growth lag
causes of fetal growth restriction
symmetric: chromosome abnorm, congenital infection
asymmetric: UPI, maternal malnutrition
normal preg physio: kidneys
up renal blood flow, GFR, BM permeability –>
down serum BUN, Cr
up renal protein excretion
normal preg physio: heart
