25
teratogens
Substances and exposures that can cause abnormalities in child
26
Chorion
Develops from trophoblast and contains chorionic villi on surface
27
amnion
inner cell membrane
28
amniotic fluid
maintains constant fetal body temp source of oral fluid and respiratory waste assisting in maintenance of fluid & electrolytes
29
oligohydramnios
Having less than 300 mL of amniotic fluid
30
hydradamnios or polyhydraminos
Having more than 2L of amniotic fluid
31
nuchal cord
Cord is wrapped around the fetal neck
32
human chorionic gonadoptropin
protein hormone can be detected in the maternal serum by 8-10 days after conception shortly after implantation
33
human placental lactogen
chorionic somatotropin
34
Braxton hicks contractions
painless contractions that occur intermittently after the first trimester in order to enhance movement of blood
35
fetus stage
9 weeks till pregnancy ends
36
Viability
capability of the fetus to survive outside the uterus and is usually defined by fetal weight and pregnancy duration for statistical purposes
37
ductus arteriosus
special circulatory pathway that bypasses the lungs bc fetal lungs do not do gas exchange
38
ductus venosus
one of the two branches that branches in the liver on its way to the atrium but first mixing with deoxygenated blood of the fetal legs and abdomen
39
foramen ovale
an opening into the left atrium where deoxygenated blood that is from the fetal lungs and through the pulmonary veins
40
Hematopoiesis
formation of blood that occurs in the yolk sac beginning in the third week
41
surfactants
Surface-active phospholipids, in amniotic fluid is used to determine the degree of fetal lung maturity or the ability of lungs to function after birth
42
L/S ratio
measure of lecithin in relation to sphingomyelin - when it reaches 2:1 ration that means the lungs are mature
43
meconium
fetal waste products that accumulate in the intestines as dark green to black, tarry colored which is normally passed through the rectum at 24 hrs of birth
44
vernix caseosa
material that protects
45
Lanugo
very fine hairs on the eyebrows and upper lips which eventually grow to cover the entire body
46
dizygotic twins
two zygotes formed by fertilization of separate sperm
47
monozygotic twins
development from one fertile ovum and then dividing
48
hypoxemia
Deficiency of oxygen in the blood
49
hypoxia
Occurs when hypoxemia is untreated and there is an inadequate supply of oxygen to the cells that can cause metabolic acidosis
50
acidemia
increased hydrogen content (decreased ph)
51
intermittent ausculatation
Listening to fetal heart sounds at periodic intervals to assess the FHR
52
contraction intensity
usually described as mild, moderate, or strong
53
contraction frequency
measured in minutes
54
resting tone
tone described as soft or hard in between when contractions occur
55
spiral electrode
part of the internal mode of the electronic fetal monitoring system that assesses the FHR and intrauterine pressure catheter
56
ultrasound transducer
type of transducer that works by reflecting high frequency sound waves off a moving interface such as fetal heart and valves
57
toco transducer
measures UA transabdominally
58
montevideo units
subtracting the baseline uterine pressure from peak contraction pressure for each contraction within a 10 minute window . Then add together the pressures by each contraction that occurs during that period of time
59
Baseline fetal heart rate
Avg heart rate during 10 minutes - but does not include any abnormalities in HR such as variability, changes, or more than 25/beats per min
60
Variability
irregular waves of fluctuations in baseline FHR of 2 cycles per min or greater
61
tachycardia
baseline FHR greater than 160
62
Bradycardia
baseline FHR less than 110 beats
63
Acceleration
abrupt increase in FHR above baseline or 160
64
Periodic changes
occur with UCs
65
Episodic changes
not associated with UCs
66
Early deceleration
visual and gradual decrease in and return to baseline FHR associated with UCs
67
Late deceleration
visual and gradual decrease in and return to baseline FHR
68
Variable deceleration
a noticeable and abrupt decrease in FHR below baseline 110
69
prolonged deceleration
noticeable decrease in FHR of at least 15 beats/min below baseline and lasting longer than 2 min while still being less than 10 min
70
Amnioinfusion
infusion of room temp isotonic fluid into uterine cavity
