UW - shoulder dystocia + GDM 03-24 (2) Flashcards
Shoulder dystocia is an obstetric emergency due to the risk for neonatal brachial plexus injury, clavicular and humeral fracture, and, if prolonged, hypoxic brain injury and death.
.
UW table. definition? failure of usual obstetric maneuvers to deliver fetal shoulders
.
UW table. Risk factors?
fetal macrosomia
Maternal obesity
Excessive pregnancy weight gain
Gestational DM
Postterm pregnancy
UW table. warning signs?
Protracted labor
Restraction of fetal head into the perineum after delivery (turtle sign)
fetal macrosomia definition?
> 4.5 kg (9 lb 14 oz).
common sign showing fetal macrosomia?
A common sign is uterine size greater than dates, as in this patient with a fundal height measuring 43 cm at 39 weeks gestation.
greatest risk factor for shoulder dystocia?
fetal macrosomia
However, shoulder dystocia also frequently occurs in patients with no risk factors and can be difficult to predict
.
(Choice A) Postterm pregnancy (≥42 weeks gestation) is a risk factor for shoulder dystocia due to ???
increased birth weight
HTN compromises placental perfusion and oxygenatin –> fetal growth restriction rather than macrosomia
.
Complications of low weight gain? 2
low birth weight
preterm delivery

Complications of high weight gain? 3
GDM
fetal macrosomia
cesarean delivery
GDM. when screen?
screening at 24-28 weeks gestation
if risk factors= earlier
GDM. If initial modification is not effective (islieka aukstos glikemijos), next step?
insulin - first line, does not cross placenta
GDM. kodel weight loss not recommended?
due to increased risk for a small-for-gestational-age infant and possible preterm delivery.
GDM. Is dietary modification -> glucose above the target range ?? what target
what need to do?
above the target range (ie, fasting >95 mg/dL, 1-hr >140 mg/dL, 2-hr >120 mg/dL).
