VALUES and HOTSPOT Flashcards
Head compression, usually during______(what stage) What is the Corrective maneuvers_______
2nd stage
Women should be Pushing only with alternate contractions (return Umbilical BF toward normal)
Causes : Prolonged asphyxia Corrective maneuvers
Change in maternal position, supplemental O2
Causes: Transient umbilical cord compression Corrective maneuvers
Change in maternal position, amniotransfusion (Return of Umbilical BF toward normal)
Excessive Uterine contraction Corrective maneuveres
Decrease in oxytocin, lateral position, tocolysis
Head compression you see of FHR strip
variable decelerations
Transient umbilical cord compression
variable decelerations
Excessive Uterine contraction and HYPOTENSION FHR strip
Bradycardia, Late decelerations
Hypotension (supine hypotension, regional anesthesia) Corrective measure
IV fluids, position change, Ephedrine
Decreased FHR variability
prolonged Asphyxia
Decreased uterine blood flow associated with uterine contractions, below limits of fetal O2 needs FHR___ Corrective maneuvers
FHR : Late decelerations Change in maternal position, supplemental O2, Tocolysis
Identify dermatomes


Identify the dermatomes

Refer to Slide

O2 consumption and CO2 production during pregnancy
Increase up to 60% due to fetus, uterus and placenta
secondary to cardiac/respiratory work
Basal temperature in pregnancy
Rises
MV in pregnancy
TV and RR
Rise close to 50%
TV increase (45%)
RR unchanged
Cardiac output and pregnancy
HR and SV
increase 50%
HR 25%
SV 35%
Diaphragm changes
Flatter and higher
Inspiration at term
Diaphragmatic
Dependent on phrenic nerve function
No effect on
FEV, FEV1/FVC , closing capacity.
FRC and pregnancy
80% of pre-preg value by term
There is 20% reduction in FRC, accounted for 25% in ERV
and 15% RV
IRV and pregnancy
+ 5%
TV in pregnancy
+45%
ERV change
-25%
RV change
-15%
