pregnancy complications Flashcards
what percentage of ectopics occur in the ampulla of the fallopian tube
55%
common cause of the ectopic pg
secondary to adhesions
unilateral adnexal pain, amenorrhea or spotting, tenderness to the mass(mass felt 20%)
classic symptoms of ectopic
severe abdominal or shoulder pain associated with peritonitis, tachycardia, syncope, orthostatic hypotension
ruptured ectopic pg
what test is diagnostic in ectopic gestation
transvaginal u/s
hCG is what to show evidence of a developing intrauterine gestation on transvaginal ultrasound
1500
how to treat ectopic early
methotrexate (folic acid analog)
4 tests for ectopic
pelvic exam, pg test, serum progesterone, u/s
threatened abortion
cramping(often painless), bloody discharge, closed cervical os. small percentage will go into spontaneous abortion
inevitable abortion
obvious rupture of membranes and leaking of amniotic fluid in the first 12 wks.
what if a inevitable abortion occurs with cervical dilation,
it will likely progress to a miscarriage
complete abortion
complete detachment of the placenta from the uterus and expulsion of the products of conception. The os will be closed once complete
incomplete abortion
cervical os is open with some portion of the fetus and/or placenta remaining in the uterus
missed abortion
the cervical os is closed and the terminated fetus remains in the uterus.
recurrent abortion and prognosis
3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions
-prognosis good
what abortions can be treated with bed rest, routine exam, u/s
- Rh negative
- threatened and inevitable
- give immunoglobulin
which 2 abortions have an open os
incomplete and inevitable
which 2 abortions have no POC expulsion
threatened and inevitable
which abortion has no bleeding
missed
definition of spontaneous abortion
abortion is the termination of pregnancy before 20 wks of gestation
incidence of spontaneous abortions
- when
- 50% have what
15-20%; 80% first trimester; 50% have chromosomal abnormalities
what 3 tests to confirm a viable pregnancy
serial hCG, serum progesterone, or serial ultrasounds
inappropriate development/interval growth, poorly formed or unformed fetal pole, fetal demise
non viable pregnancy
% of developing diabetes in 5 years with gestational diabetes
50%
recurrence rate of gestational diabetes
60-90%
hyperacceleration of general diabetic complications, traumatic birth, shoulder dystoccia, preeclampsia
fetal complications of gestational diabetes
when should you screen postpartum gestational diabetes pts
at 6 weeks and yearly intervals thereafter
office visits of gestational diabetes pts when necessary
2 hr postprandial blood glucose; if greater than 105 (fasting) or 120(2 hr), may require insulin
when to deliver pts with gestational diabetes
if well controlled and no signs of macrosomia: 40 wks.
if glucose is poorly controlled or if signs of macrosomia: 38 wks
tight maternal glucose control
fasting is less than 95
1 hr postprandial is less than 140
2 hr postprandial is less than 120
NST for gestational diabetes
begin at 34 wks
pre-eclampsia like sx before 20 wks, hCG over 100,000(complete), hyperemesis gravidum, abn uterine size, vag bleeding
molar pregnancy
snowstorm or grape clusters on u/s
molar pregnancy
is a complete or incomplete molar pg more common
complete
% of partial hydatidiform moles progress to malignancy
less than 5%
tx of benign and low risk metastatic tumors (hydatidiform moles)
chemo
high risk tx (hydatidiform moles)
combo of chemo w/ or w/out radiation and surgery
surgical tx of hydatidiform moles and cure rates
suction curretage and hysterectomy.
cure rates 80-100%
hydatidiform moles post tx and contraception
monitor serial hCG.
contraception recommended 6-12 months after remission
