Q

rare fetal complication of amniocentesis

A

club foot (talipes equinovarus)

17
Q

tests for fetal well being

A

-kick count
-sonogram (doppler blood flow, BPP, AFI)
-MRI

18
Q

maternal indications for daily fetal kick counts (4)

A

-HTN in pregnancy
-diabetes in pregnancy
-previous history of 3rd tri loss
-high stress parent(s)

19
Q

what amount of kick counts per hr needs follow up

A

<3 movements/hr
*biggest thing is trends

20
Q

how many hours in a row without fetal movement needs followup (fetal alarm signal)

A

12 hrs

21
Q

BATMaN for biophysical profile

A

-breathing
-amniotic fluid
-tone
-movements
-nonstress test (reactive)

22
Q

what is included on modified biophysical profile

A

-nonstress test (reactive)
-amniotic fluid volume (>2 or index >5)

23
Q

what indicates a reactive nonstress test

A

2+ accelerations (15bpm/min) lasting 15 secs in 20 mins

24
Q

what indicates a nonreactive nonstress test

A

20 mins without 2+ accels lasting 15 secs (can extend test to 40 mins)

25
Q

what indicates a reactive vibroacoustic stimulation

A

increased FHR variation and acceleration

26
Q

what indicates a nonreactive vibroacoustic stimulation

A

no response after 3 stimulations (1 min intervals)

27
Q

absolute contraindications for contraction stress test

A

-previous classic incision for C/S
-preterm labor
-placental previa
-vasa previa
-reduced cervical competence
-multiple gestation
-any contraindication to labor

*basically anyone who shouldn’t be having contractions or shouldn’t have a vaginal birth

28
Q

what is considered a negative contraction stress test

A

no late decels (good outcome)

29
Q

what is considered a positive contraction stress test

A

late decels with >50% contractions

30
Q

what is considered suspicious/equivocal contraction stress test

A

prolonged, variable or late decels with <50% of contractions

31
Q

what is considered equivocal-hyperstimulatory contraction stress test

A

decels occur in presence of contractions >q2min or lasting >90 secs

32
Q

what is considered unsatisfactory contraction stress test

A

unable to obtain 3 contractions in ten min period
