week 3 pain pathways (everything) Flashcards
which labs need to be obtained during the initial visit of the mother (11)
CBC Typing, Rubella antibody, Cervical gonorrhea and chlamydia culture. VDRL, HBsAg (Hep B) Pap, Urine complete, PPD (TB) HIV (with consent) BG
15-20 weeks
MATERNAL ALPHA FETOPROTEIN: increase in neural tube defects (NTD) and decrease in Downs syndrome. Triple screening (AFP,HCG, Estriol). If abnormal, do U/S or amniocentesis
Folic acid decrease risk of NTD
18-20 weeks
U/S for dating. Best time to access fetal development
24-28 weeks
Glucose test for ALL
28-30 weeks
RhoGAM to Rh(-ve) mom
34-38 weeks
CBC
36-40 weeks
Cervical chlamydia and gonorrhea culture in high risk patients
does oxytocin level increase during labor
NO!
so how does labor start if there is not increase to level of oxytocin
(2 answers)
there is increase sensitivity of myometrium to oxytocin
increase synthesis of prostaglandins by fetal membrane and decida helps to start labor
the physiological presentation of labor:
- Increased sensitivity of myometrium to oxytocin
- synthesis of prostaglandins by fetal membrane and decida
- Lightening
- Braxton Hicks contraction
- Cervical effacement
- Bloody show due to breaking down of mucous plug
- Rupture of amniotic membrane
- Cervical dilatation
Maternal physiology at labor there is a 300% increase in
in minute ventilation
in labor what happens to maternal oxygenation?
60% increase in oxygen consumption
maternal Hyperventilation in labor results in:
decrease PCO2 < 20 mmHg; transient hypoventilation; maternal and fetal hypoxemia; reduce uterine blood flow and fetal acidosis
Each contraction pushes what vol of blood into the circulation?
what is this called?
300-500 ml of blood into circulation – auto transfusion
maternal CO results in (increases by how much)
a 45% increase in cardiac output
After delivery ,involution of uterus relieves inferior vena caval obstruction resulting in:
80% increase in cardiac output and stroke volume
First
Latent
CO?
15% increase
first
active phase
co
30% increase
second phase CO
45%
third phase CO
80%
First latent phase start/end
events
Regular uterine contractions/ 4 cm dilatation
Cx effaces and slowly dilate
first active phase start end
events
4 cm/10 cm (complete dilatation)
Regular intense contractions, fetal head descends into pelvis
second phase start/end
events:
Complete cervical dilatation/delivery of baby
Baby undergoes all stages of cardinal movements (Engagement, Descent, Flexion, Internal rotation, Extension, External rotation, Expulsion)
