21
Q

vasa previa

A

velamentous cord insertion causes fetal vessels to cross over os

22
Q

velamentous placenta

A

umbilical vessels course through amnionic sac before reaching placenta, which leaves vessels unprotected/vulnerable to rupture or compression

23
Q

succenturiate lobe

A

extra placental lobe that implants at some distance from the rest of the placenta

24
Q
  • vaginal bleeding
  • uterine tenderness/abd or back pain
  • uterine contractions
  • fetal distress/demise
A

placental abruption

25
Q

risk fx for placental abruption

A
HTN/preeclampsia
Previous placental abruption
Premature rupture of membranes
Multiple gestations/overdistension
Polyhydramnios
Cigarette smoking
Trauma
Cocaine abuse
Advanced maternal age
Abnormalities of placentation and cord
Intrauterine infection
26
Q

uterine rupture tx

A

IMMEDIATE laparotomy with delivery of fetus and repair of uterus or hysterectomy

27
Q

vasa previa

A

rupture of fetal vessel –> perinatal mortality exceeds 50%

present. ..
- vag bleed
- non-reassuring fetal HR pattern (sinusoidal)
- need to deliver immediately by C. section

28
Q

pathogenesis of preeclampsia

A
  • faulty trophoblastic vascular remodeling of uterine a.s –> placental hypoxia –> release of placental fx into maternal circulation –> dysfunction of vascular endothelium –> vasospasm, coagulation
  • vasoconstriction –> inc resistance and HTN
  • damage to endothelium –> edema and microangiopathic hemolysis from platelet adherence and fibrin deposition (thrombocytopenia)
  • diminished blood flow –> end-organ damage (proteinuria, hepatocellular necrosis)
29
Q

gestational HTN dx criteria

A

systolic BP greater or equal to 140 mmHg

or

diastolic BP greater or equal to 90 mmHg

developing AFTER wk 20 in previously normotensive pt

and NO proteinuria

30
Q

preeclampsia dx criteria

A

systolic BP greater or equal to 140 mmHg

or

diastolic BP greater or equal to 90

^on 2 occasions at least 4 hr apart

AFTER wk 20 in a previously normotensive pt

AND

proteinuria or inc protein/creatinine ratio

31
Q

pt with new onset HTN without proteinuria, new onset of which findings is dx of preeclampsia?

A
thrombocytopenia
inc serum creatinine
2x normal liver transaminases 
pulm edema
cerebral visual sx
32
Q

severe preeclampsia dx criteria

A

systolic greater or equal to 160 mmHg

or diastolic greater or equal to 110 mmHg on 2 occasions at rest

also CNS dysfunction (HA)
