Q

Metabolism & Respiration during Labor

A

Pain during labor
• MV ↑ 70-140% by time of delivery
• MV ↑ 120-200% first and second stages

• PaCO2 may fall to 10-15 mm Hg
• O2 consumption ↑ by 40% first stage
• O2 consumption ↑ by 75% second stage
• Due mostly due to 
  - hyperventilation work 50%
• Uterine activity
• Maternal expulsive methods
• Demand outstrips O2 supply- go anaerobic

Q

BP Changes

A
•BP varies with position, age and parity
•BP higher when supine
•
•Advanced age and nulliparity have higher mean
pressures than younger/parous woman
•Systolic pressure typically unaffected
•Diastolic pressure lowers 20
to low resistance vascular
bed (intervillous space) and hormonally induced
vasodilation

Q

WIDENING PULSE PRESSURE

A

PREGANCY

SBP INCREASE, DBP SAYS THE SAME.

52
Q

Supine Position

A
  • Caval compression occurs as early as 13-16 wks
  • ↑ femoral venous pressure
  • At term femoral venous pressures are 2.5x normal due to caval obstruction
  • Collaterals cannot maintain venous return so right heart pressures fall
  • Aorta is partially obstructed
53
Q

• Lateral Decubitus Position

A
  • Partial caval obstruction
  • Collaterals maintain venous return
  • Intraosseous vertebral veins
  • Paravertebral veins
  • Epidural venous plexus
  • Aorta is unaffected (lateral tilt position has 40% aorta compression)
54
Q
  • ↓ preload (10-20%)

* Uterine blood

A
  • SV decreases

* CO decreases

57
Q

Aortocaval Compression

A
↓ preload (10-20%)
• SV decreases
• CO decreases
•Uterine blood flow falls by 20%
•Lower extremity blood flow falls by 50%
• ~8% of woman experience bradycardia and substantial
hypotension in the supine position
• “SUPINE HYPOTENSIVE SYNDROME”
• results from the profound drop in venous return from which
the CV system cannot compensate

65
Q

Coagustion

A
• A state of accelerated but compensated intravascular coagulation
• Elevated platelet
• Activation
• Consumption
• Aggregation
• Production also enhanced
----- Except ~7-8% parturients have platelet count <150,000
• Clotting factor concentrations are ↑
• shortened PT/PTT by 20%
• Decreases in antithrombin III
• Pregnancy is a “hypercoagulable state”
• Fibrinolysis enhanced
• See ↑ fibrin degradation products and plasminoge
