Q

What is the post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) of HIV?

33
Q

what is the normal range of fetal heart rate (FHR) before delivery?

A

120-160 bpm

34
Q

common causes of abnormal FHR

A
Severe bradycardia (< 100bpm): hypoxia 
mild bradycardia (100-120): occipital/ temporal position 

Severe tachycardia ( > 180-200): chorioamnionitis (mother having fever)

35
Q

causes of FHR accelerations

A

FHR accelerations are “reassuring” signs

  • fetal movement
  • uterine contraction
  • umbilical cord compression
  • vaginal exam
  • external acoustic stimulation
  • fetal scalp stimulation
36
Q

causes of FHR decelerations

A

Early deceleration (mirror contraction) - reassuring, not associated with fetal distress

  • slow onset with the start of contraction and slow return with the end of contraction
  • fetal head compression during uterine contraction

Late deceleration - potentially ominous

  • “uteroplacental insufficiency” provoked by uterine contraction
  • etiology: maternal hypotension/ acidosis, uterine hyperstimulation

VARIABLE DECELERATIONS - non-reassuring

  • most common pattern during labour
  • due to compression of umbilical cord
37

  • Prior intracranial hemorrhage (ICH)
