PRELIM Flashcards
Measures the risk of dying from causes related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium
MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE
Measuring the risk of dying during the first year of life.
INFANT MORTALITY RATE
- Measures pregnancy wastage
FETAL DEATH RATE
that information revealed in genetic screening be kept confidential
Genetic Counseling
test to establish the presence (or absence) of disease as a basis for treatment decisions
Diagnostic Test?
non invasive dt
Ultrasonography
Cardiotocography (CTG)
Non-Stress Test (NST)
Oxytocin Challenge Test (OCT) or Contraction Stress Test(CST)
a technical means of recording the fetal heartbeat and the uterine contractions during pregnancy
Cardiotocography (CTG)
machine used to perform CTG known as an electronic fetal monitor
cardiotocograph
observation of FHT related to fetal movement.
Non-Stress Test (NST)
Observation of the response of the fetus to induced uterine contractions.
A test of feto-placental well-being.
Oxytocin Challenge Test (OCT)
invasive dt
Chronic villus sampling
Amniocentesis
Embryoscopy
Fetoscopy
Percutaneous umbilical cord
blood sampling
Biophysical Profile (BFP)
prenatal diagnosis to determine chromosomal or genetic disorders in the fetus.
Chronic villus sampling
look for birth defects and genetic problems in the developing baby.
Amniocentesis
removes a small amount of fluid from the sac around the baby in the womb
Amniocentesis
- Examination of the fetus after 11 weeks’ gestation.
performed transabdominally in the amniotic fluid.
Fetoscopy
needle is inserted into the umbilical cord to retrieve a small sample of fetal blood.
Percutaneous umbilical cord
blood sampling
Cordocentesis is performed after
17 weeks into pregnancy.
complication of rheumatic fever in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged.
RHEUMATIC HEART DISEASE
an inflammatory disease that may develop after an Infection with group A Streptococcus bacteria (such as strep throat or scarlet fever).
Rheumatic fever
a test that used sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart
➢ Echocardiography
- reveals cardiomegaly (enlarged heart) / hepatomogaly
➢ Chest Radiography(CXR)
TREATMENT OF RHD
- Antibiotics (Penicillin) for infection of the heart valves
- Blood-thinning meds to prevent stroke
- Heart valve surgery to repair or replace damaged heart valve.
metabolic disorders characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia)
DIABETES MELLITUS
. Type 1
(formerly Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM)
destroyed by an autoimmune process
Insulin injections are needed to control the blood pressure glucose level.
Has a sudden onset usually before the age of 30 years
. Type 1
Type 2
formerly Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus [ NIDDM
- occurs in patients older than 30 years ff age and obese.
- results from a decreased sensitivity to insulin ( insulin resistance] or from a decrease amount of insulin production
- Can be first treated with diet and exercise, then oral hypoglycemic agents as needed
Type 2
occurs when the pancreas cannot respond to the demand for more insulin
Gestational Diabetes mellitus
- Pregnant women should be screened for glucose levels at
26 week of gestation.
test will be performed to confirm diabetes mellitus.
3-hour glucose tolerance test
to detect the degree of hyperglycemia present or the amount of glucose attached to hemoglobin.
Glycosylated Hemoglobin Measurement
This should be done each trimester to detect asymptomatic UTI
Urine Culture
- Causes psychosis with distorted perception, heightened sense of awareness, grandiosity, hallucinations, mystical experience, and distortion of time and place.
- HALLUCINOGENS
Causes mental and physical deterioration.
OPIOIDS
- Causes severe respiratory and cardiac irregularities
- INHALANTS
infected mother to fetus or newborn via
(1) transplacental transmission, via
(2) contamination with maternal blood during birth or through breast milk.
Perinatal transmission
recommended for the prevention of maternal-fetal transmission risk
- Zidovudine
