  1. maternal immune system is able to “see” fetus

2. MHC incompatibilty

17

  2. villitis of unknown etilogy
  3. decidual vasculopathy
  4. placental abruptions
  5. infarcts
19

55% of perinatal deaths

- 9% during delivery

20
Q

A
  1. complications
  2. maternal infection
  3. maternal disorders
  4. felatl growth restriction
  5. congential
21
Q

how many still of unknown causes

A

50% m=but many have asphyxia

22
Q

what happens with fetal demise and asphyxia

A
  • meconium discarge staines placenta
23
Q

what happens in asphyxia with survival

A

severe brain injury

24
Q

maternal causes of stillbirth

A
  1. toxemia of preg
  2. lupus antibodies
  3. maternal thrombophilia
  4. DM
25
def. preeclampsia
1. widepread maternal endothelia dysfunction - hypertension - edema - proteinuria
26
def. eclampsia
``` more severe with neuro symptoms HELLP syndrome - hemolysis - elev liver enzymes - low platelets ```
27
maternal associations with toxemia
- young mom - multigravida - hypertension - smoker - poor preg weight gain
28
what are placental causes of stillbrith
1. abruption 2. cord accidents 3 twins
29
what is placental abruption
- damage to maternal spiral arteries - bleeds between uterus and placenta - separation of placenta from uterine lining
30
clinical complicaitons of abruption
- contraction - pain - hemmorage - fetal hypoxia/death
31
5 causes of abruption
1. hyper tnesiokn 2. chorioamnioitis 3. SLE 4. DM 5 trauma
32
3 types of cord accidents
1. true knots 2. prolapse 3. entaglement
33
what is worst twin type
monochornic -share blood
34
2 twin problems
1. twin-twin transfusion | 2. cord entanglement
35
what is keihauer betke test
estimates volume of fetal blood in maternal circ | - too much blood loss from bb
36
2 main routes of infection
1. maternal hematogenous | 2. asncending amniotic
37
most common type of blood born infeciton
viruses, TORCH organism
38
what is congenital rubella
- risk in first trimester - fetal growth restircion - microencephaly - cataracts - hearts disease
39
def, fetal hydrops
accummulation of extra vasucal fluids - edema
