34
cerclage should be considered if cervical length is less than ____ by vaginal sonography prior to ____ weeks and prior preterm birth at less than ____ weeks gestation
cerclage should be considered if cervical length is less than 25 mm by vaginal sonography prior to 24 weeks and prior preterm birth at less than 34 weeks gestation
35
what is twin-twin transfusion?
when monozygotic twins undergo cleavage between 4 and 8 days, they become monochorionic, diamniotic (there is 1 placenta and 2 sacs). The twins share a single placenta but do so unequally, where the donor twin gets less blood supply, resulting in growth restriction, OLIGOhydramnios, and anemia. However, neonatal outcome is usually better. The recipient twin gets more blood supply, resulting in excessive growth, POLYhydramnios, and polycythemia. Intrauterine fetal surgery is indicated.

37
fetal hematocrit of less than ___% is considered anemia. intrauterine intravascular transfusion is performed if gestational age is greater than ___ weeks.
