Test 3 Review Flashcards
What carries the oxygenated blood? (ductus venosus or ductus arteriosus)
Ductus venosus carries oxygen rich blood from the umbilical vein directly to the IVC which empties directly into the right atrium
p 1126
From the right ventricle, the blood courses from the pulmonary artery into the ductus arteriosus and thru the descending aorta to provide oxygenated blood to the abdominal organs.
p 1126
i think the answer is ductus venosus
What carries the deoxygenated blood (ductus venosus or ductus arteriosus)
Deoxygenated blood exits the fetus through umbilical arteries
i think the answer is ductus arteriosus
What position is the baby if the fetal head is toward the fundus of the uterus?
breech
p.1105
When we do a BPD, what is the structure in the middle the we measure through?
thalmus
p.1146
What are the three vessels of the umbilical cord?
one umbilical vein and two umbilical arteries
p.1224
What is a possible head shape for a breech baby?
dolichocephalic
p.1108
What is a transverse lie?
fetal lie perpendicular to the long axis of the mother
p.1105
What level is the abdomen circumference taken at?
at the level of the liver where the umbilical vein branches into the left portal sinus
p.1151
What shape is the cerebellum in a fetus with spina bifida?
banana
p.1154
When measuring BPD, what structures should be present?
thalmus, cavum septum pellucidum, midline falx
p.1146
What is the definition of brachycephaly?
fetal head is elongated in the transverse diameter and shortened in the anteroposterior diameter; round
p.1147
What is the definition for dolichocephaly?
fetal head is shortened in the transverse plane and elongated in the anteroposterior plane; flattened or compressed
p.1147
Which of the measurements is most accurate in the first trimester?
CRL
p.1144
Which growth parameter is the most important in second trimester?
AC
p.1150
What part on the femur should not be included in the measurement?
distal femoral epiphysis
p.1152
If the femur and other measurements are greater than 2 weeks apart you should measure all the other long bones. True or False
true
p.1152
What is wrong with a baby when it is not growing like it should?
intrauterine growth restriction
p.1158
How do you measure BPD?
measure from outer to inner margins of skull
p.1146
What do we do to access fetal well-being?
Biophysical profile: cardiac nonstress test (NST), observation of fetal breathing movements (FBM), gross fetal body movements (FM), fetal tone (FT), amniotic fluid volume (AFV) p.1162
What is the difference between asymmetric and symmetric IUGR?
Symmetric IUGR is a fetus that is small in all physical parameters, usually the result of a severe insult in first tri
Asymmetric IUGR is more common and is usually caused by placental insufficiency, possibly the result of maternal disease
