perinatal care triggers Flashcards
Early first-trimester insults like chromosomal or congenital abnormalities, resulting in global growth delay
this is the primary cause of what?
fetal grwoth restriction (FGR) and IUGR
what mechanism causes the closure of the PFO
Increased O2 in blood –> increased blood flow in lungs —> increased venous return to LA —> LA pressure increase closes PFO
what aids babies in learning to regulate their temperature and also helps moms milk production
skin to skin in the golden hour after birth
what ceases low-resistane circuit in the placenta and also increases systemic BP and relaxes lung vessels for a baby
clamping of the umbilical cord
Apnea/gasping & HR < 100 BPM indicates what should be done
PPV via BVM at 40-60 breaths per minute
when do we use MR SOPA
when PPV does not seem to be working properly
while doing MR SOPA place baby on SPO2 moniter and continuous EKG.
if the heart rate is <60 despite 30s of PPV what is the next step
intubate.
compressions recommended for resuscitation.
3:1 compressions for 90 compressions and 30 breaths.
consider umbilical vein catheterization
when should epinephrine be considered
if HR <60
(im assuming after youve tried PPV and compressions)
when should we examine for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy or therapeutic hypothermia
if a newborn >= 36 weeks received resuscitation
Delayed resorption of lung fluid leading to pulmonary edema leading to tachypnea
TTN
CXR shows pleural effusions, perihilar densities with fissure fluids and hyperexpansion of the lungs
TTN
occurs in teh First 2 hours, lasting up to 72 hours but typically resolving within 12-24 hrs
TTN
respiratory distress and hypoxia triggered by uterine stress during delivery
meconium aspiration syndrome
(they just get so stressed that they poop everywhere and then inhale it)
CXR shows bilateral fluffy densities with hyperinflation of the lungs.
MAS
also diagnostic is to see meconium present in amniotic fluid or trachea during intubation
see meconium present in amniotic fluid or trachea during intubation
MAS
results in inflammation and surfactant inactivation, atelectasis, rupture of alveoli and V/Q mismatches
progression of MAS
it is NOT recommended to intubate these patients
MAS
ground glass opacities on CXR
RDS
glucocorticoids and postnatal surfactant with ventilation via NCPAP is tx for what
RDS
MC in GA>34 weeks
PPHN
associated with MAS, PNA and RDS
PPHN
this is associated with intrauterine/perinatal asphyxia as well as the exposure of fetus to SSRIs in the 2nd half of pregnancy
PPHN
presents with meconium staining, respiratory distress, and a possible harsh systolic murmur at the lower left sternal border
PPHN
echo showing normal anatomy with pulmonary HTN is diagnostic of which disease
PPHN
use nitric oxide or sildenafil in severe disease
PPHN
use ECMO as last resort
use ECMO as last resort for this disease
PPHN
risk factors include maternal exposure to labetalol or terbutaline bronchodilator, LGA, SGA, and maternal diabetes
neonatal hypoglycemia
high risk symptoms for this disease includes floppiness, exaggerated moro reflex, seizures irritability, and more
neonatal hypoglycemia
preterm babies, LGA, SGA and babies with diabetic mothers should all be screened for what
neonatal hypoglycemia
just gonna leave this right here in case anyone wants to look at it
what is pathognomonic of neonatal jandice
jaundice presenting within the first 24 hours of birth.
