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

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

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
Ppx steroids or tocolytics in non OB Surg for pregnant patient?
Not indicated
Intraop considerations for pregnant pt for non OB surgery
Standard monitors
LUD
FHR! (Can monitor if > 18 weeks) and tocodynamometer! (Look for preterm contractions!)
Goals for laproscopic surgery w/ pregnant pt
Minimize insufflation pressures: 8-12
EtCO2 32!
Postop pregnant pt for non OB surgery
-monitor MINIMUM of 12 hours for preterm labor
-if preterm labor: beta agonists, Mg, betamethasone! If b/w 24-34 weeks
Thesis isosensitization
-Rh neg moms w/ Rh positive fathers get RhoGAM at 28 weeks and 72 hours after delivery -> antibody destroys Rh + cells before Rh - mom can form antibodies to them
-if no rhogam -> Rh neg moms make antibodies to Rh + blood from fetus -> IgG Ab will cross placenta and lead to hemolytic dx of newborn
Emergency c/s w/ difficult airway
FiO2 100%, LUD, treat hypoTN
-awake fiber optic if time
-if no time: RSI, difficult airway equipment and maintains sp vent w/ ketamine/inhalational
CT in pregnancy?
IF trauma, can do if unstable to access damage -> treating condition of mom is most effective way to maintain health of baby!
hypocalcemia EKG changes
prolonged QT interval on EKG
changes in lytes in ESRD

can you use HD catheter for ESRD case?
Yes, if last result: draw back heparin and use aseptic technique: inc risk of clots and infxn

Treatment of thyrotoxicosis
-propanolol: dec conversion of T4-> T3
-methimazole, PTU (PTU works fast w/ glucocorticoids to dec conversion)
-iodine prevents release of thyroid hormones but use last!

if everything else fails can do plasmapheresis
