Q

what is difference between ephedrine AND epinephrine

A

ephedrine- medication given for hypotension

epinephrine- aka adrenaline.

Inhibits myometrial activity esp in early labour

norepinephrine (aka noradrenaline)
surge promotes 2nd stage labour

Q

what are recommendations for BP and BMI

A

Important to get right BP cuff size
measure the Mid arm circumferenace at first visit
IF BMI> 35, use large (33cm x 16)
listen until korotkoff sound V (4) ( If V is not present, use IV (silence)

Q

what is MODY

what causes it
mgmt in pregnancy

A

“maturity onset diabetes of young”- gene mutation that disrupts insulin production.
DIfferent to T1/T2 DM
signs- high BGL’s
Inherited- (dominant)= child of affected parent has 50% chance of inheriting it

mgmt- TRANSFER

Q

what are resp changes in pregnancy?
what are mechanical changes
how is change to ventilation achieved
why can this cause dyspnoea

A

20% increase in oxygen consumption

mechanical
diaphragm pushed up. breathing changes from abdominal to thoracic- increased diaphramatic breathing

increased o2 consumption achieved via 40% increase in ventilation

driven by DEEPENING resps (increased tidal vol) (NOT Increasing frequency of resps)
increased tidal volume achieved via
- chemoreceptors are more sensitive to co2 in blood (PaCO2) –> stimulated via progesterone
Can cause hyperventilation and sensation of dyspnoea

Q
