Q

external cephalic version

A

procedure:

  • manual rotation of fetus to cephalic presentation
  • decreases cesarean delivery rate

indications: breech/transverse presentation; >37wk gestation

absolute contraindications=contraindications to vaginal delivery

  • prior classical cesarean
  • prior extensive uterine myomectomy
  • placenta previa

complications: abrupt placentae, intrauterine fetal demise

17
Q

amniotic fluid embolism

A

RF:

  • advanced maternal age
  • gravida >5 (live births or stillbirths)
  • cesarean or instrumental delivery
  • placenta previa or abruption
  • preeclampsia

CP:

  • cardiogenic shock
  • hypoxemic rest failure
  • SIC
  • coma or seizures

tx: respiratory and hemodynamic support; +/- transfusion

18
Q

false labor versus latent labor

A
false: 
timing-irregular, infrequent
strength-weak
pain-none to mild
cervical change-no
latent:
timing-regular, inc frequency
strength-increasing intensity
pain-yes
cervical change-yes
19
Q

different types of labor

A
  • false labor: mild, irregular contractions that cause no cervical change (Braxton Hicks contractions)
  • latent labor: regular contractions with increasing frequency and intensity that cause gradual cervical change
  • labor: regular, painful uterine contractions that cause cervical change (dilation, effacement)
20
Q

hCG

A
  • secreted by syncytiotrophoblast
  • mainly responsible for preservation of corpus lute in early pregnancy in order to maintain progesterone secretion until the placenta is able to make pro on its own

-hcg production starts 8d after fertilization, dbl every 48hr until they peak 6-8weeks gestation

21
Q

Preventing neonatal GBS infection

A

universal screening: rectovaginal culture at 35-37 weeks gestation

indications:

  • prior delivery complicated by neonatal GBS infection
  • GBS bacteriuria or GBS UTI d/r current pregnancy (regardless of tx)
  • GBS-positive rectovaginal culture
  • unknown GBS status PLUS any of the following:
  • -<37 week gestation
  • -intrapartum fever
  • -rupture of amniotic membranes for >18h

pix: first line tx-Penicillin

22
Q

maternal thyroid testing in pregnancy, first trimester

A
  • total T4 inc and free T4 unchanged or mildly increased
  • -mech: beta-hCG stimulates thyroid hormone production in 1T; estrogen stimulates TBG; thyroid inc hormone production to maintain steady free T4 levels

-TSH dec; inc beta-hCG and thyroid hormone suppress TSH secretion

23
Q

Choriocarcinoma

A

RF: advanced maternal age, prior complete hydatidiform mole

CP:

  • amenorrhea or abnml uterine bleeding
  • pelvic pain/pressure
  • s/s from mets (lung, vagina)
  • uterine mass
  • elevated beta-hCG level

tx: chemo

24
Q

depot medroxyrogesterone acetate (DMPA)

A
  • IM every 3 months to prevent preggo by inhibiting the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothal and surpassing ovulation
  • causes menstrual irregularities such as prolonged bleeding and/or spotting espies during first 6 months of use
  • 50% of women have amenorrhea after one year of use
25
Q

functional hypothalamic amenorrhea

A
  • demonstrate s/s of hypoestrogenemia (infertility, breast atrophy)
  • decreased bone mineral density d/t low estrogen levels offsetting the bone-building effects of exercise
26
Q

ovarian torsion and dermoid cysts

A
  • ot is a dangeroud complication of dc

- cp: acute-onset unlit lower abode pain that occurs d/t necrosis of the ovary from ischemia with lack of circulation
