OK to give PCN to pregnant women
What is a biophysical profile? What are the 5 parameters?
Test the Baby, woMAN! fetal TONE, Breathing, Movement, Amniotic fluid volume, & Nonstress test. all scored 0-2. with 8-10 being reassuring for fetal wellbeing, 0-4 is worrisome for fetal asphyxia. modified BPP is a NST + AFI with NL AFI>5.
What is the first step in the diagnosis of hyperemesis gravidarum?
rule out molar pregnancy w u/s +/- beta-hCG.
In a contraction stress test, is negative good or bad?
A negative CST is good. It is defined as no late or significant variable decels within 10 minutes and at least three contractions. A positive CST is defined by late decels following 50% or more of contractions in a 10 minute window.
What is screening test for GDM? What glucose value is considered abnormal
screening: 1 hour 50 g glucose challenge. abnl is >=140 mg/dL.
confirmatory is 3 hour 100 g glucose challenge. diagnosis is made if any 2 of following occur:
fasting > 95
1 hour > 180
2 hour > 155
3 hour > 140
Keys to the management of GDM?
1) ADA diet; 2) insulin if needed (fasting <95, 1 hr PP<140, 2 hr PP<120), 3) u/s for fetal growth, 4) NST beginning at 34 w if requiring insulin or an oral hypoglycemic
If patient has UA with glycosuria before 20 weeks, is it gestational DM?
No, think pregestational DM. Similarly, hyperglycemia in the the first trimester suggests preexisting DM and should be managed as such.
What is the classic triad of preeclampsia?
Hypertension, Proteinuria, Edema.
Mnemonic: believe the HyPE
What is HELLP syndrome?
HELLP is a variant of preeclampsia with a poor prognosis. It consistes of Hemolytic anemia, elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets. Risk factors: nulliparity, POC, extremes of age, multiple gestaiions, molar pregnancy, renal disease,
Is a + contraction stress test (CST) good or bad?
A + CST is bad. + is defined by late decels following 50% or more of contractions in a 10 minute
What is a BPP? What are the components?
A biophysical profile (BPP) uses u/s to test 5 fetal parameters (Test the Baby, MAN!): fetal heart Tones, Breathing, Movement, Amniotic fluid volume, and Nonstress test.
What is screening test for gestational DM and when do you do it?
1 hour 50 g. glucose challenge. values >=140 are abnormal. Confirm w 3 hour 100 g test.
What is a risk of pregestational diabetes and pregnancy? Especially if HbA1c is > 8?
Congenital malformations, fetal loss, and morbiitioy during L+D. If HbA1C>8, investigate!
If pregnant patient has glucosuria before 20 weeks, is it GDM or pregestational DM?
Likely pregestational DM. Hyperglycemia in first trimester suggests preexisting DM and should be managed as such
What are the four anatomical locations to consider during third trimester bleeding?
Vagina: bloody show, trauma
Cervix: cervical cancer, cervical/vaginal lesion
Placenta: placental abruption, placentia previa
Fetus: fetal beeding
Does Rh isoimmunization occur in Rh - or Rh + women? What titer results in close monitoring?
Rh - women are at risk for isimmunization (fetal RBCs leak into maternal circulation and maternail anti-Rh IgG ab’s can then cross placenta leading to hemolysis of feal Rh RBCs (=erythoblastosis fetalis). Dx with Ab titers > 1:16
Diagnostic criteria for postpartum endometritis?
Fever>38 within 36 hours of delivery, uterine tenderness, malodorous lochia
