TrueLearn1 Flashcards
Dx of parvovirus in pregnancy
IgM, IgG.The IgM response indicates recent infection. IgM can be seen for 1 month up to several months after the infection. IgG antibodies indicate prior infection and immunity
Abx endocarditis ppx
augmentin
Most frequent non-rhesus antibody
The most frequently encountered non-Rhesus antibodies in pregnancy are the Lewis antibody and the I antibody. These antibodies do not cause hemolytic anemia because the immunoglobulin is type M (IgM), which does not cross the placenta.
ureter transection @ pelvic brim?
uretetroureterostomy
percentage seropositive for HSV2
26%
most common sfx external beam radiation
Atrophy of the epithelium is the most consistent side effect of radiation therapy causing diarrhea, acute cystitis, vaginal mucositis, and skin erythema.
death/neuro injury twin fetal demise
Surviving monochorionic twin
neurological injury (18%) death (15%)
Surviving dichorionic twin
neurological injury (1%) death (3%)
embryo implantation steps
Implantation consists of three stages. Apposition is the first step and consists of the embryo making contact with the endometrium. Adhesion is the second step, during which the embryo has further contact with the endometrium and becomes more adherent. Invasion is the final step in which the embryo becomes embedded.
protein S change during pregnancy
decrease
congenital rubella syndrome
, congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) has multiple anomalies. If exposure is suspected during the prenatal course, one should expect to see evidence of cardiac abnormalities, defects involving the central nervous system and its development, evidence of growth restriction, and hepatosplenomegaly
fetomaternal hemorrhage- most common timing
Fetomaternal hemorrhage is most likely to occur at the time of delivery.
warfarin embropathy
This includes nasal and midline facial hypoplasia and stippling of the vertebral and femoral epiphyses, which are rings noted near the epiphyseal plates on ultrasonography.
half life, steady state of oxytocin
The half-life of oxytocin is approximately 3–5 minutes, therefore, the uterus will start contracting within 3–5 minutes of beginning an oxytocin infusion. Steady-state plasma levels are reached at about 40 minute
pregnancy ABG
Maternal partial pressure of carbon dioxide drops from a range of about 36–44 mm Hg to a range of 28–32 mm Hg in pregnancy. -> “NORMAL” co2 would be a late finding
endometritis when to dc abx
Antibiotics are continued until the patient has been afebrile for 24 hours. No further antibiotics are needed,
mitral valve stenosis labr mgmt
Avoiding an increase in preload is absolutely the most important factor, so fluid restriction is key to proper management.
signs of severe malnutrition in the elderly
Risk Factor Parameter
BMI BMI <18.5
Serum albumin Serum albumin <3.0 g/dL in the absence of hepatic or renal failure
Unintentional weight loss >10–15% within the most recent 6 months
pathogenesis of endometriosis
Retrograde menstruation leading to attachment and implantation of endometrial glands and stroma on the peritoneum
Increase in cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) leading to local overproduction of prostaglandins
Increase in aromatase activity leading to overproduction of local estrogen
Progesterone resistance decreases the antiestrogenic effect of progesterone, which amplifies the local estrogenic effect
cardiac abnormalitiy most associated w/ epidural placement mortality
aortic stenosis (bicuspid valve)- decrease resistance leads to decreased preload
diabetes medication mgmt preop
Patients taking long-acting insulin at night or in the morning should take one-half to two-thirds of the usual dose; with intermediate-acting insulin taken twice daily, the normal dose should be given the night before and long-acting insulin should be taken at one-half to two-thirds of the usual dose.
Short-acting insulin should be held on the morning of surgery because it increases the risk of hypoglycemia.
Sulfonylureas such as glyburide increase the risk of hypoglycemia and should be held on the morning of surgery.
Thiazolidinediones may worsen fluid retention and can lead to heart failure and should be held on the morning of surgery.
Metformin increases the risk of renal hypoperfusion, lactic acidosis, and tissue hypoxia and should be held on the morning of surgery.
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors increase the risk of hypovolemia and should be held on the morning of surgery.
origin of the fetal umbilical arteries
internal iliac
5a reductase deficiency- what develops abnormally, internal or external
external (penis, scrotum), urethra, prostate
most common bug for bronchitis in pregnancy
parainfluenza
what is the most sensitive test for a concealed abruption?
ctx on monitor (not coagulopathy b/c later sign)
most common congenital infection?
CMV, though often asymptomatic
what is the incidence of postterm syndrome in postterm pregnancy
10-20%
best peripartum cardiomyopathy med
metoprolol- reduces pre-post load
PTB rate in US
12%
how long exclusiveley breastfeed, how long breastfeed w/ supplementation
6 and 12 mo
uncomplicated twin gestation delivery timing
Monochorionic-monoamniotic 32–34 weeks
Monochorionic-diamniotic 34–37 w6d
Dichorionic-diamniotic 38 weeks
during menstrual cycle- what makes progesterone and what makes estrogen
progesterone: theca (incidental breast ductal prolif)
estrogen: graafian folicle (signals hypo/pit, and theca)
cause of hypotension following epidural
loss of sympathetic innervation (decreased vascular tone and increased vasodilation)
FDA approved for hirsutism in PCOS
eflurnithine
most helpful test for vW dz dx?
factor VIII (levels decreased b/c not boudn by vWf) PTT would be INCREASED d/t above (intrinsic)
most common nerve injury w/ pfannensteil
iliohypogastric
contraindication for terb
maternal cardiac arrhythmia
sickle cell dz inheritance and mode of dz
autosomal recessive, beta chain malformation
ileus vs SBO?
ileus absent bowel sounds, SBO “tinkling”
when to treat ITP? Tx modalities and time to make a difference?
clinical bleeding, plt <30 even w/o sx, epidural/spinal (needs plts >70), c/s or surgery (needs plts >50)
steroids- 4-14 days (peaks 2-3 wk)
IVIG- 1-3 days (peaks about 7 days)
