Q

15-20 weeks

A

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

9
Q

so how does labor start if there is not increase to level of oxytocin
(2 answers)

A

there is increase sensitivity of myometrium to oxytocin

increase synthesis of prostaglandins by fetal membrane and decida helps to start labor

Q

the physiological presentation of labor:

A
  • 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

Q

maternal Hyperventilation in labor results in:

A

decrease PCO2 < 20 mmHg; transient hypoventilation; maternal and fetal hypoxemia; reduce uterine blood flow and fetal acidosis

24
Q

third phase start/end

events:

A

Delivery of baby/delivery of placenta

Placenta separates and uterus contracts to establish hemostasis

25
Q

first stage– pain initial spot- progression.

level of spinal anesthesia must cover what sections

A

Pain is initially T11-T12 then progress to T10-T12 and L1 during active labor.

level of spinal anesthesia must cover T10-L1

26
Q

second stage- pain spot

level of spinal anesthesia must cover what sections:

A

Pain through by pudendal nerve (S2-S4)
Somatic pain caused by stretching of vagina and perineum by descent of fetus

Level of spinal anesthesia is needed for S2-S4

27
Q

first stage- cause of pain? what is the pressure ?

A

1st stage: Cause of pain is uterine contractions and exceeds 25 mmHg pressure and dilate Cx.

28
Q

level of anesthesia for c section

A

T4

29
Q

how is pain and temperature mediated in the genitalia

A

autonomic nervous system- not lateral spinothalamic tract

30
Q

Uterus and Cx- pain levels ?

pain is carried by what fibers

A

T10 to L1-2

Pain impulses carried in visceral afferent C fiber

31
Q

Perineum

A

S2,S3,S4

Pain impulses carried by somatic nerve fiber; pudendal nerves

32
Q

Inhalation agents

effects on uterus

A

Cause uterine relaxation - increase blood loss

33
Q

Parentral agents effects on labor

A

Opioids minimally decrease progression of labor

34
Q

Regional anesthesia is given for:

A
Primigravida
Prolong labor
High parenteral analgesic requirement
Use of oxytocin
Large baby
Small pelvis
Fetal malpresentation
35
Q

a1 stimulation effects

A

uterine contraction

36
Q

Vasopressors

b2 stimulating effects

uterine relaxation

37
Q

Small dose on phenylephrine effects

A

39
Q

oxytocin complications:

A

Complication: fetal distress, uterine tetany, maternal water retention, hypotension, reflex tachycardia

40
Q

Ergot alkaloids

uses

A

41
Q

What is used to treat PPH?

A

Prostaglandins

42
Q
