Q

Increase or decrease - Free T4

A

Stays the same

20
Q

Increase or decrease - TSH

A

Stays the same (initially decreases then increases)

21
Q

Increase or decrease - FTI (free T4 index)

A

Stays the same

22
Q

What drug to use for hyperthyroidism in the 1st trimester

23
Q

Adverse effect of PTU

A

Liver toxicity/agranulocytosis (maternal)

24
Q

What drug to use for hyperthyroidism in the 2nd trimester?

A

Methimazole

25
Q

Adverse effect of methimazole if used before the 2nd trimester

A

Aplasia cutis

26
Q

What drug to use for hyperthyroidism in the third trimester?

A

Methimazole

27
Q

What is the limiting dimension for delivery?

A

Ischial spines

28
Q

What is the average bispinous diameter (ischial spines)?

29
Q

What is the diagonal conjugate?

A

Distance from the sacral promontory to the symphysis pubis

30
Q

Why do we measure the diagonal conjugate instead of the true/obstetric conjugate?

A

The true/obstetric conjugate cannot be reached

While the diagonal can be clinically assessed

31
Q

Calculation for the obstetric conjugate

A

Diagonal conjugate - 1.5

32
Q

A contracted obstetric conjugate =

33
Q

What is the measurement of the biparietal diameter at term?

34
Q

What is the measurement of the femur length at term?

35
Q

How can you use CRL to estimate weeks of gestation?

A

CRL (cm) + 6.5cm [ex 3.5cm + 6.5cm = 10 weeks]

36
Q

Definition of Engagement

A

BPD passed the plane of the inlet, presenting part at ischial spines

37
Q

Pelvic class that is round

38
Q

Pelvic class that is considered a “good delivery shape” and prognostically good

39
Q

Pelvic class that is an anterior-posterior egg shape

A

Anthropoid

40
Q

Pelvic class that is associated with an increased OP delivery

A

Anthropoid (it is the only one w OP in the name and increased OP deliveries)

41
Q

What population has increased anthropoid pelvises (OP deliveries) ?

A

African American (common blunted ischial spines and medium pubic arch)

42
Q

Pelvic class that has an anterior-posterior diamond shape

43
Q

Pelvis shape that is the most limited in the transverse plane for flexed fetal head

44
Q

Pelvic class that is considered a “bad delivery shape”

A

Android; it has the least transverse diameter of outlet, also only prominent ischial spines and only narrow suprapubic arch

45
Q

Pelvic class that has the shape of a flat oval

A

Platypelloid

46
Q

Pelvic class that is persistent transverse (very wide)

A

Platypelloid

47
Q

What population is a platypelloid pelvic increased in?

A

Korean women
