other in pregnancy Flashcards
Sheehan syndrome - clinical features
- Lactation failure
- amenorrhea, hor flashes, vaginal atrophy (low FSH, LH)
Fatique, bradycardia (Low TSH)
Anorexia, weight loss, hypotension (low ACTH)
decreased lean body mass (Low GH)
uterus examination if pospartum hemorrhage and retained placental tissue
enlarged and atonic uterus
postpartum period - normal findings
- transient rigors/chills
- peripheral edema
- lochia rubra
- uterine contraction + involution
- breast engorgement
postpartum period - routine care
- rooming in/lactation support
- serial examination for uterine atony/bleeding
- perianal care
- voiding trial
- pain management
Cerclage is a procedure involving a suture or synthetic tape to reinforce the cervix in
patietns with history of 2nd trimester deliveries or short (less than 2.5 cm) cervical length
renal colicky in pregnant - next step
U/S
pregnancy and exercise - contraindications
- amniotic fluid leak
- cervical incompetence

- placenta abruption or previa
- premature labor
- preeclampsia/gestational hypertension
- severe heart or lung disease
pregnancy and exercise - unsafe activies
- contact sports
- high fall risk
- scuba diving
- hot yoga
amniotic fluid embolism - RF
- preeclampsia
- placenta previa or abruption
- 5 or more pregnancies
- cesarean or instrumental
- advanced maternal age
amniotic fluid embolism - complications
- cardiogenic shock
- hypoxemic resp failure
- DIC
- coma or seizures
amniotic fluid embolism - treatment
resp + hemodynamic support
+/- transfusion
3rd trimester - acute appnedcitisis - what is unique
pain is RUQ due to enlare uterus
Postpartum urinary retention - RF
- regional anesthesia
- operative vaginal delivary
- primiparity
- perineal injury
- cesarea
Postpartum urinary retention - clinical featrues
inability to void
incomplete emptuing
dribbling
postpartum urinary retention - management
self limited
intermitent urethral catheterization
the most appropriate 1st step in suspected appendicitis during pregnancy
U/S –> noncompression + dilation are diagnostic –> if not diagnostic –> MRI
peripartum cardiomyopathy - onset
after 36 wks
intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy
- intense prurtus
- elevated bile acids
- elevated levels of liver aminotransferases
- diagnosis of exclusion
acute fatty liver of pregnancy
malaise, RUQ pain, nausea, vomiting, sequelae of liver failure
- hypoglycemia
- mildly elevated liver enzymes
- elevated bilirubin
- possible DIC
Low back pain during pregnancy - etiology
enlarged uterus - exaggerated lordosis
joint ligament laxity due to high progesterone and relaxin
weak abdominal muscles –> decreased lumbar support
Low back pain during pregnancy - RF
- excessive weight gain
- chronic back pain
- back pain in prior pregnancy
- multiparty
Low back pain during pregnancy - imaging
not indicated
Low back pain during pregnancy - management
- behavioural modification
- heating pads
- analgesics
multiple gestation - presentation
- exponential growth of uterus
- rapid weight gain by mother
- elevated β-HCG and MSAFP (levels higher than expected for estimated gestational age is the first clue to multiple gestation
…… increase the possibility for multiple gestation
fertility drugs
diagnostic tests for multiple gestation
US is done to visualize fetuses
