Sonography Obgyn Flashcards
Oligohydramnios
Low amniotic level fluids
FGR can cause poor health for the fetus into adulthood. They include all except
Anorexia
Congenital malformation, drugs and chromosomal abnormalities are squally responsible for
Symmetric FGR/IUGR
BPP should only be performed when
Delivery of the fetus would be considered
Biophysical profile (BPP)
Combined observation of four separate fetal biophysical variables (fetal breathing movements, fetal body movement, fetal tone, aminotic fluid index) obtained via ultrasound. This can be done with or without a NST
Hypoxemia
Low oxygen blood level
A common cause of FGR is
Placental abnormalities
Idiopathic
Without known cause
Preeclampsia
Is a condition where elevated protein is discovered in the maternal urine
The predictive error of ultrasound ____ as the gestation increases
Increases
Fetal growth restriction (FGR) or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)
Estimated fetal weight or abdominal circumference less than the 10th percentile for gestational age.
Small for gestational age (SGA)
Diagnosis used to describe an infant that is smaller than expected for the gestational age
A cause of intrauterine growth restriction is
Maternal hypertension
A typical growth patterns where the fetal AC lags the BPD, HC, and FL is known as
Asymmetric
Low birth weight (LBW)
Birth weight below 2,500 g or 5lbs 8oz
nuchal translucency (NT)
Subcutaneous fluid in the posterior region of the neck embryos and fetuses up to 14 weeks gestational age. Abnormally large nuchal translucencies have been associated a higher risk of chromosomal and structural abnormalities
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)
Hormones produced by trophoblast cells of the blastocyst which extends the life of the corpus luteum in the ovary. Most pregnancy tests are based on detection of hCG
The most accurate measurement for dating in early pregnancy is
CRL crown-rump length
Crown-rump length (CRL)
Measurement of longest axis of an embryo, determines gestational age
Naegale’s rule
Calculation to find a patients EDD
Take LMP
Add 1 year
Subtract 3 months
Add 7 days
Parity
Summary of a woman’s pregnancy outcomes. The most common description of parity is expressed in four numbers. The first is the number of term deliveries ; the second number is the number of preterm deliveries (usually after 24 weeks gestational age); the third is the number of other pregnancies and includes both spontaneous and therapeutic abortions; the fourth number is the woman’s living children
Gestational age (GA)
Duration of pregnancy counted from the first day of the last menstrual period expressed in weeks and days or fractions of weeks. A pregnancy typically lasts about 280 days or 40 weeks, counted from the first day of the last menstrual period and is commonly divided into three trimesters
First age
1st trimester- 0 days (first day ot last menstrual period) to end of the 13th week
Mean sac diameter (MSD)
Average mean diameter of the gestational sac used to determine gestational age
Conceptual age
Duration of pregnancy counted from fertilization (conception) expressed in hours or days. Also called embryonic age or post-ovulatory age
LMP
First day of last menstrual period
Gestational sac
First sonographic evidence of an intrauterine pregnancy, the fluid-filled blastocyst
Gravidity
A number of times a woman has been pregnant
