UBP Condensed2 Flashcards
Mg dosing for PEC
4-6g bolus over 20 minutes
Infusion of 1-2 grams per hour
Mg PEC therapeutic range
4-6
Mg toxicity
> 10: loss of DTR
15: resp depression
20: cardiac arrest
EKG: prolonged PR, widened QRS
Tx: calcium, diuretics
Anti-HTN in pregnancy
Labetalol 1st line
Hydralazine: reflex tachycardia
NG
Nitorprusside (risk of CN toxicity)
Nifedipine (cant’ use w/ Mg: risk of myocardial depression)
HELLP
Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low plts
Tx: Mg, delivery of baby
Drugs that DON’T cross placenta
He is Going Nowhere Soon
heparin
Insulin
Glyco
Non-depolarizing NMB
Succ
Antepartum bleeding ddx
Placenta Previa v placenta abruption MC!! painless previa, painful abruption
Less common: vasa previa (fetal vessels overlie internal os), uterine rupture
Uterotonics
Oxytocin: in Ca and contractions -> causes hypoTN, nausea, water retention (similar to ADH)
hemabate: Prostaglandin, inc Ca -> bronchospasm
Methergine: alpha agonist on blood vessels and smooth muscle -> HTN
Misoprostol: prostaglandin -> tachycardia/fever
Number 1 determination of fetal well being
FHR variability!!!
Normal 6-25 bpm variability
NORMAL: 110-160
**can use fetal scalp capillary pH
Early decelerations
Fetal head compression
Late decelerations
Uteroplacental insufficiency
Variable decelerations
Umbilical cord compression
Molar pregnancy concerns
Abnormal bleeding
CHF
Pulm insufficiency
Hyperthyroidism/thyrotoxicosis
DIC
PE
acute resp distress in peripartum period
Tocolytic induced pulm edema
Steroids
PE/AFE
ARDS
Alternatives besides neuraxial for preg pain control
Paracervical block: 1st stage of labor T10-L1 -> assoc w/ fetal hypoxia, uterine artery constriction, inc uterine tone
Paravertebral lumbar symp block: 1st stage of labor
Pudenedal nerve block: 2nd stage of labor S2-4
APGAR
Appearance
Pulse 0: none 1: < 100, 2: >100
Grimace
Activity
REspirations
Treatment for meconium aspiration syndrome
If resp depression w/ HR < 100: consider suctioning ETT
-otherwise dry and stimulate -> give exogenous surfactant!! (Meconium inactivates surfactant)
Neonatal resuscitation NALS
- Stimulate, if apneic or HR < 100: clear airway and PPV 30 breaths/min
- After 30 seconds: if HR < 100: ventilation
- After 30 seconds: if HR < 60: intubate, FiO2 100%, start chest compressions at 100/min and IV/IO access
- If HR still < 60 after 30 seconds:give epi (0.01-0.03 mg/kg) and fluids
Epi dosing for neonate
0.01 mg/kg
Epi dosing for ETT
0.1 mg/kg
Normal umbilical artery gas
PH; 7.27, pCO2: 50, pO2: 22, bicarb 22
Normal umbilical vein gas
PH: 7.35, pCO2 38, pO2 29, bicarb 20
Best time to have surgery while pregnant
2nd trimester
-avoid miscarriage/organogenesis in 1st
-avoid preterm labor in 3rd
When to give ppx steroids
Between 24-34 weeks w/ anticipation of preterm labor
