Q

Ingards to Mcd’s research on intrathechal and eidural analgesia he found out what?

A

that the length of labor was NOT prolonged using intrathechal or epidural opiods, and may shorten the 1st stage of labor in both primi and multiparious women.

Q

What occurs in the 1st stage of labor (5 main body changes)

A
  • Pressure on nerve endings of the uterus
    -Contraction of an ischemic myometrium and cervix
    -Vasoconstriction
    -inflammatory changes
    -Dilation of the cervix and lower uterine segment
    ( how to remember– 1st
    the PRESSURE on the nerve ending of the uterus cause VASOCONSTRICTION, which causes the contraction of an ISCHEMIC MYOMETRIUM AND CERVIX, which causes INFLAMMATORY CHANGES, and thus DILATION of the cervix and lower uterine segment)
    I dunno maybe it will help???

Q

What Causes perception during the 2nd and 3rd stages of labor?

A

-Traction on the pelvic peritoneum and uterine ligaments
-Tension on the bladder and rectum
-tension on the ligamnets, fascia and muscles of the pelvis
-Pressue on lumbrosacral plexus
(how to remember- stage 2 and 3 the baby is moving down so the pain is lower and it STRETCHES everything by pulling it down)

Q

********** Why is stadol out of favor for use in some OB settings?

Due to a 75% incidence of transient sinusoidal fetal heart pattern (considered benign)
can cause narcotic withdrawl in narcotic addicts

itching N/V urinary retention
43
************************ | ITA doses of fent and morph WITH or WITHOUT any LA

SAB are possiable for devivery but not for what
Labor
46
What is teh best combined tech for labor OB pain control
Perform ITA for Labor and also place an epidural cath for use later
47
Beware of what, b/c you must be prepared for emergent intervention
VBACS (vaginal birth afetr c-section)
48
Epidural analgesia for L&D advantages
- awake pt - avoids risk of somulence - decreased hypoxia - decreased hypercarbia - decreased aspiration - continuous - ready for C/S - safe
49
Epidural analgesia for L&D disadvantages
- Maternal affects - fetal affects - ? prolonged labor (not according to McD) - ? increase in C/S rate - ? motor block (if too high conc given) - ? bed rest
50
Indirect effects of epidural analgesia on hemodynamics
- uteroplacental perfusion usually secondary to hypotension (preload) - oxytocin metabolism - circulatory reflex depression
51
epidural tech issues to condsider
- lateral vs sitting - LOR tech (air vs saline, glass vs plastic) ((LOR= loss of resistance) - catheter direction - How for to insert catheter (2-3 cm per McD) or 3-5 cm
52

``` aspiration -CSF -Blood Test dose monitoring ```
53

54
what will occur with a test dose of fentanyl if not in the correct space?
drop in HR
55
S/S suggesting that it may be a SAB not an epidural
Signs - sensory block - Motor weakness - Hypotension Symptoms - Warm sensation - Pain releif - Numbness
56
What are pregnancy issues that can cause problems inassociation with epidural placement?
- Epidural space volume changes - venous sinuses - physical size - positioning (ICV syndrome)
57
ICV syndrome?
between epidural and intrathecal modes of delivery is ... Intracerebroventricular (ICV)
58
Common local agents
Bupivacaine Lidocaine 2.3 chloroprocaine (opiates are usually added)
59
what are problems u may have to deal with from performing SAB
- wet tap - blood in catheter - hypotension - high block - motor block - inadequate analgesia
60
what type of anesthesia is seldom used for vaginal delivary and according to M&M is worse than regional
General
61
Advantages of GETA withC/S
Speed of induction reliability control avaoidence of hypotension
62
Potential GETA problems
``` Maternal aspiration Airway difficulties Awareness Stress response Increased blood loss ```
63
Indications for GETA

64
if the stomach is full (as we already learned they all are) what should we give prior to GETA
Metacloprimide 10 mg IV + Randetidine 50 mg IV + Na Citrate 30 ml PO (chill it, it is disgusting otherwise)
65
Why should u make sure you fully denitrogenate prior to GETA
decrease apnea to hypoxia time
66
With GETA prior to sux's what should you pretreat with to prevent fasiculations, myalgia, gastric pressure increase?
NDNMBD (lol thats long) NDMB)
67
Induction agents for GETA for labor?
``` sodium thiopental methohexitol hetamine etomidate propofol midazolam ```
68
GETA concerns r/t HYPERventilation
- decreased uterine blood flow - left shift of maternal O-HDC - decreased ability to deliver O2 to baby
69
What is the most important factor r/t neonatal depression with a GETA?
time from induction to delivery
70
3 major indications for C/S
- labor unsafe for mother or fetus - Dystocia - immediate or emergent delivery is necessary
71
GA is not routinely used for elective C/S it is typically reserved for what?
Obstretrical emergencies
72
4 main indications for GA with labor
- contraindications to regional - Failed regional block - fetal distress - patient refusal
73
When time is limiting ________ ________ is sometimes necessary b/c it offers speed of induction, reliability, controllability, and avoidance of sympathectomy induced hypotension
general anesthesia
74
preparation for GETA for labor
- Airway elavuation - Aspiration prophylaxis - experienced personal and backup plans - fetal considertions
75
How to conduct GETA with labor
- basic prep - positioning and monitoring - induction (RSI with cricoid pressure) (intubate with 6.0-7.0 cuffed ETT) -Maintance - emergence (pt extubated awake with airway reflexes intact) (if pt unstabe OETT remains in place)
76
The obese parturient is at greater risk for medical diseases r/t what systems
- CV - Respiratory - Endocrine and metabolic - GI
77
What are the 4 airway considerations wit the obese parturent?
- limited neck flexion and mouth opening - narrowed view of pharyngeal opening - Higher incidense of failed intubation - proper positioning of the head and neck may facilitate ET intubation
78
What may position facilatates endotracheal intubation for the paturient
elevation of shoulder flexion of cervical spine extension of atlanto-occipital joint
