UWorld 4 Flashcards
disorders of the active phase of labor
protraction
-clinical features: cervical change slower than expected +/- inadequate contractions. treat with oxytocin
arrest: no cervical change for >4 h with adequate contractions OR no cervical change for >6h with inadequate contractions. tx with cesarean
operative vaginal delivery (vacuum/forceps)
Indications
- protracted second stage of labor
- FHR abnormalities
- maternal contraindications to pushing
Fetal complications:
- laceration
- cephalohematoma
- facial nervy palsy
- ICH
- shoulder dystocia
maternal complications:
- GU tract injury
- urinary retention
- hemorrhage
three types of thryoiditis
- chronic ai thyroiditis (hashimoto)
- hypothyroid features, diffuse goiter, positive TPO ab, variable radioiodine uptake - painless thyroiditis (silent thyroiditis)
- small nontender goiter, mild brief hyperthyroid, positive TPO Ab, low radioiodine - subacute thyroiditis (de Quervain thyroiditis)
- prominent fever and hyperthyroid s/s, painful/tender goiter
-elevated ESR and CRP, low radioiodine uptake
common problems related to lactation
- engorgement: b/l, symmetric fullness, tenderness and warmth
- nipple injury: abrasion, bruising, cracking, and or blistering from poor latch
- plugged duct: focal tenderness and firmness and or erythema no fever
- galactocele: subareolar, mobile, well-circumscribed, nontender mass; no fever
- mastitis: tenderness/erythema + fever
abscess: s/s of mastitis + fluctuant mass
hemophilia
- X-linked recessive d/o
- on average carrier mothers and unaffected fathers have a 25% chance of having a son with hemophilia, a silent carrier daughter, an unaffected son, or an unaffected daughter
pelvic organ prolapse
cystocele-bladder rectocele-rectum enterocele-small intestine procidentia apical prolapse-uterus, vaginal vault
Rf: obesity, multiparity, hsterectomy, postmenopausal
CP: pelvic pressure, obstructed voiding, urinary retention, urinary incontinence, constipation, fecal urgency/incontinence, sexual dysfunction
management: weight loss, pelvic floor exercises, vaginal pessary, surgical repair
nonstress test
- external FHR monitoring for 20-40 mins
- nml: reactive:>2 accels
- abnml: nonrxv:<2 accels; reccurent variable or late decels
BPP
- NST + US assessment of: amniotic fluid volume, fetal breathing movement, fetal movement, fetal tone
- 2 pts per category if nml, 0 if abnnl (max: 10/10)
- equivocal 6, abnml 0 2 4 or oligo
contraction stress test
- external FHR monitoring d/r spontaneous or induced (eg oxytocin, nipple stim) uterine contractions
- nml: no late or recurrent variable decels
- abnml: late decels with >50% of contractions
doppler sonography of the umbilical artery
- eval of umbilical artery flow in fetal intrauterine growth restriction only
- nml: high velocity diastolic flow in umbilical artery
- abnml: dec, absent, or reversed end-diastolic flow
BPP in depth (nml findings)
- NST: rxv FHR monitoring
- amniotic fluid vol: single fluid pocket >2cmx1cm or amniotic fluidindex>5 (otherwise its oligo)
- fetal movements: >3 general body movements
- fetal tone: >1 episode of flexion/extension of fetal limbs or spine
- fetal breathing movements: >1 breathing episode for >30 seconds
RF for placental insufficiency
- advanced maternal age
- tobacco use
- HTN
- diabetes
abruptio placentae
- concealed vs visible bleeding
- separation of placenta from uterine wall prior to fetal delivery
- CP: abdo and/or back pain, FHR abnormalities, variable amt of sudden-onset vag bleeding, high freq low intensity contractions, hypertonic/tender uterus
RF:
- maternal HTN or preeclampsia/eclampsia
- abdominal trauma
- prior placental abruption
- cocaine and tobacco use
oxytocin
indications: induction or augmentation of labor, prevention and management of PPH
Adverse effects: hyponatremia, hypoTN, tachsystole
s/s of GU syndrome of menopause
- vulvovaginal dryness, irritation, pruritus
- dyspareunia
- vag bleeding
- urinary incontinence, recurrent UTI
- pelvic pressure
