iv steroids (then MRI and surgery if confirmed)
side effects of EPO therapy (4)
- WORSENING OF HTN!!!!!
- headache
- flu like illness
side effects worse with IV than with subq
how to prophylax against esophageal varices bleeding?
non selective beta blocker (i.e. naldolol)
two ways to improve poor oxygenation on ventilator (PaO2 < 60)
- increase PEEP
2. increase FiO2 (but NOT MORE THAN 60%)
When can you do cell free fetal DNA testing and who should it be offered to?
can do it greater than 10 weeks
offer to mothers greater than age 35
When to do quad screen?
2nd trimester! papp a, estriol , b hcg, inhibin
c/i breast feeding (3)

risk factors cervical cancer (2)
HPV
TOBACCO SMOKING
elevated pulm artery pressure, elevated RA pressure, nml pulmonary capillary wedge pressure
PE
elevated pulm artery + elevated RA pressure = pulm htn
nml pulmonary cap pressure = nml left ventricular function so intrinsic pulm process
elevated pulm artery pressure, elevated RA pressure, elevated PCWP
left hsided heart failure leading to right sided heart failure
