Igg pos- immune
If both igg and igm both positive or both neg- monitor for signs of infection. Repeat testing in 4 weeks.
Tx: PUBS looking for anemia and psb transfusion if hydrops
serial weekly US for fetal well being, rule out hydrops for 2 months after exposure. MCA doppler studies to assess degree of anemia

Risk factors
Presentation
Treatment

A

Amniotic fluid into maternal circulation- inflammatory mediators cause anaphylactic reaction

Q

Dka in Pregnancy

A

Get icu and MFM involved

Diagnosis- check beta hydroxy butyrate. Elevated anion gap greater than 20. Eval for cause like infection
Check ABCs
Monitor abgs and lytes
IVF switch from NS to D5-NS when you get to glucose of 200
Potassium- when you give insulin potassium goes intracellular. If less than 3.3 hold insulin.
If bicarbonate is less than 7 then correct it
Insulin- weight based insulin. Regular insulin- loading 0.1units/kg then maintenance of .1u/kg/hr then decrease to 0.05 when glucose less than 200
DO NOT DELIVER THE PATIENT WHILE IN DKA. Usually resolves after DKA. Patient not stable if you take her to the operating room.
