UW 1 Flashcards
After DX of GBS, what is most important next step in management
Assess Pulmonary Fnc with Serial Spirometry
Gold std = FVC to assess ventilation
GBS pt with declining FVC
Impending Respiratory Arrest - may require endotracheal intubation
WHen do we do Spinal MRI w GAD
Acute Transverse myelitis suspected
- Spinal cord inflammation involving thorax
- LE Diplegia
Enlargement of central canal of SC due to CSF Retention
Syringomyelia

Pathophys and causes of anserine bursitis
Anserine bursa - location is anteromedially over tibial plateau just below joint line of knee
Causes of Inflammation = Abnormal gait
Overuse
Trauma
Presentation of anserine bursitis
Localized pain over anteromedial tibia
Present overnight
PE: Tenderness over medial tibial plateau
TX for Anserine Bursitis
Rest
Ice
Maneuvers to reduce pressure
Steroid injections
Presentation of prepatellar bursitis
Pain and swelling directly over patella caused by trauma
MCL Strain presentation
Pain along medial joint line
Aggravated by walking
Caused by valgus stress applied to lateral knee partially flexed
Management of decreased fetal movements - testing
- NST
- CST
- BPP if NST nonreactive
Management of pt with normal CST in pt of 36 wks
Repeat antepartum Fetal testing in 1 wk
Uterine Rupture Presentation
Vaginal bleeding Intrabdominal bleeding Fetal heart decelerations Loss of fetal station Palpation of fetal parts
