Obstetrics And Gynecology Flashcards
Normal menstrual cycle:
Two phases?
Two hormones per phase?
Two potential outcomes?
Follicular: FSH and Estrogen -> proliferative phase of the endometrium
Luteal phase: LH and Progesterone -> secretory phase of the endometrium
Outcomes: pregnancy or menstruation
Physiologic cardiovascular changes during normal pregnancy
CO increases
SVR decreases more
Bloop pressure drops
Physiologic changes seen in the GI system in normal pregnancy
- Delayed gastric emptying
- Increased relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter
- Decreased motility
Physiologic changes seen in the Renal system in normal pregnancy
GFR (CrCL) increases in pregnancy
Serum creatinine decreases
Physiologic changes seen in the endocrine system in normal pregnancy
Beta-hCG doubles every 48 hrs
hPL confers resistance to insulin
Hematopoietic changes during normal pregnancy
Hypercoagulable state
When to go for surgery instead of methotrexate in ectopic pregnancy
- ruptured ectopic pregnancy
- patient unlikely to follow up
- fetal heart sound
- beta hCG > 5000
- GS > 3.5cm
Define spontaneous abortion
Unprovoked fetal loss before 20 weeks gestation
Most common cause of spontaneous abortion
Chromosomal abnormalities
Complete abortion :
Vaginal bleeding
Cervix
Ultrasound
+/- vaginal bleeding
Closed cervix
Empty uterus
InComplete abortion :
Vaginal bleeding
Cervix
Ultrasound
Vaginal bleeding present
Open cervix
Product of conception present in the uterus
Inevitable abortion :
Vaginal bleeding
Cervix
Ultrasound
Vaginal bleeding
Open cervix
Live or dead product of conception
Threatened abortion :
Vaginal bleeding
Cervix
Ultrasound
Vaginal bleeding
Closed cervix
Live fetus on ultrasound
Missed abortion :
Vaginal bleeding
Cervix
Ultrasound
Vb hasn’t started yet
Closed cervix
Dead fetus
Risk factor for 1st time ectopic pregnancy
History of
- PID
- Salpingitis
- Prior surgery
- Endometriosis
Most common location of ectopic pregnancy
Ampulla
Quad screen consists of
Beta-hCG
Estriol
MSAFP
Inhibin A
Increase hCG and inhibin A, decrease estriol and AFP,
Trisomy 21
Increased MSAFP
Open neural tube defect, gastroschisis
When to screen for gestational diabetes
26- 28 weeks
How do you screen for gestational diabetes?
Start with 1hr GTT (50g glucose) If > 140, do 3hr 100 GTT Fasting : 95 1hr: 180 2hrs: 155 3hrs: 135
Or random > 200 + symptoms
Complications of pregestational diabetes mellitus
Caudal regression syndrome
Cardiac defects
Complications of gestational diabetes
Macrosomia,
Shoulder dystonia
Polydramnios
Neonatal hypoglycemia
Definition of oligohydramnios
Low amniotic fluid (< 5cm Amniotic Fluid Index)
Causes of oligohydramnios
Can’t pee or make urine: Renal agenesis GU obstruction ( posterior urethral valves in males) Uteroplacental insufficiency Ruptured membrane
Most common cause of oligohydramnios
Ruptured membranes
Definition of polyhydramnios
Increased amniotic fluid (>24 cm Amniotic Fluid Index on US)
Causes of polyhydramnios
Can’t absorb fluid to make urine or making too much urine:
- esophageal or duodenal atresia
- anencephaly
- maternal diabetes
Blood pressure criteria in pregnancy
- 4hrs apart
- systolic bp >/= 140mmHg or
- diastolic bp >/= 90mmHg
Gestational hypertension criteria
- bp criteria met
- after 20 weeks gestational age
- no features of preeclampsia
- no need for bp meds
- no need for aspirin
- deliver at 37 weeks
Chronic hypertension in pregnancy features
- bp criteria is met
- prior to 20 weeks gestational age
- no features of preeclampsia
- possibly need ongoing bp meds
- give aspirin at 12 weeks gestation
- deliver at 38 weeks if no meds and 37 weeks if on meds
Pre-eclampsia criteria
- blood pressure criteria met
- after 20 weeks gestation
- evidence of end-organ involvement: proteinuria or severe features
Organ systems that can be affected in preeclampsia
Renal Neurologic Pulmonary Hepatobiliary Hematopoietic
Proteinuria?
Protein/creatinine of 0.3mg/dL
300mg of protein in a 24 hour urine
Protein>/= 2+
Preeclampsia with severe features criteria
- Severe ranges of blood pressure:- >/= 160mmHg or >/= 110 mmHg
- Low platelet count (<100,000)
- Increased LFTs (> 2x the upper limit of normal conc)
- Pulmonary edema
- Creatinine >1.1 mg/dL or 2x baseline
- New onset headache and visual changes
- Right upper quadrant pain
Antihypertensives used in pregnancy
Labetalol
Hydralazine
Immediate release nifedipine
What is normal labor
Painful contractions that causes cervical changes
Explain the phases of the first stage of labor
Latent phase: prior - 6cm
Active phase: after 6cm
What is normal second stage of labor
10 cm(complete dilation) to delivery for = 2hrs for multiparous patients and = 3hrs for nulliparous patients
Third stage of labor?
From delivery of baby to delivery of placenta
What is arrest of active phase in labor
No change in >/= 4 hrs with adequate contraction
Or >/= 6hrs with inadequate contraction
Management of arrest of active phase of labor
Oxytocin
Cesarean delivery
Four aspects of interpretation of fetal heart rate monitoring
Baseline heart rate (110-160 bpm)
Beat to beat variability
Accelerations
Decelerations
Early decelerations is due to
Head compressions
Variable decelerations is due to
Cord Compression
Late decelerations is due to
Uteroplacental insufficiency
Category 1 FHR tracing features:
110-160 bp.
Moderate Variability
No variable or late decelerations
Category 3 of FHR tracing
Absent baseline variability plus any of
- Bradycardia
- Recurrent late or variable decelerations
- Sinusoidal pattern
Treatment of choice for prevention of intrapartum seizures in pre-eclamptic patient and/or eclamptic patients
