KNOW THE INDICATIONS FOR 1st trimester

A

1st trimester

  • confirm intrauterine pregnancy
  • evaluate suspected ectopic pregnancy
  • determine cause of vag. bleeding
  • pelvic pain
  • gestational (menstrual) age
  • multiple pregnancies
  • confirm cardiac activity
  • adjunt to chorionic villous sampling, embryo transfer or loacalization and removal IUD
  • assess for certain fetal anomalies (anenchphaly, in pt w/ high risk)
  • maternal pelvic or adnexal mass or uterine abnormality
  • screen for fetal aneuploidy (measure nuchal translucency
  • suspected hydatidiform mole
35
Q

list the maternal risk factors that increase the chance of having a fetus w/ congenital anomalies

A
  • Increased maternal age
  • abnormal triple screen biochemistry values
  • maternal disease (e.g., diabetes mellitus, systemic lupus erythematosus)
  • increased nuchal translucency
  • a pregnant uterus that is either too small or too large for dates.
36
Q

other risk factors include a previous child born with a(n)____ disorder or exposure to a known _____ drug or infectious agent known to cause birth defects

A

chromosome; teratogenic

37
Q

____ is the total number of pregnancies; and ____ is the number of live births

A

gravidity; parity

38
Q

what 5 important questions should the sonographer ask the patient before beginning an obstetric exam

A
  1. When was the first date of your last menstrual period (LMP or LNMP)?
  2. Do you have any latex allergies?
  3. Are you currently taking any medication?
  4. Have you experienced clinical problems with the pregnancy, such as bleeding, decreased fetal movement, or pelvic pain?
  5. Have you had problems with previous pregnancies, such as incompetent cervix, fibroids, fetal macrosomia or growth restriction, or congenital or chromosomal fetal anomalies?

39
Q

quality standards include not only components of the examination protocol but also the following 7 things:

A
  1. Qualifications of personnel performing the examination
  2. Documentation
  3. Equipment specifications
  4. Fetal safety
  5. Quality control
  6. Safety, infection control
  7. Patient education concerns
40
Q

the purpose of national ___ or registry is to assure the public that the person performing the US has the necessary skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide this service

A

registry

41
Q

documentation standards require that a permanent record of measurements and anatomic findings is maintained. true or false?

A

true

42
Q

images need to be labeled with the ____, ____, and _____if appropriate.

A

pt name; date; image orientation

43
Q

describe the US protocol for the 1st trimester pregnancy

A
  • The uterus & adnexa should be evaluated for the presence of a gestational sac, yolk sac, and embryo.
  • Presence or absence of cardiac activity should be reported.
  • Fetal number should be documented.
  • Evaluation of the uterus, adnexal structures, and cul-de-sac
44
Q

describe the US protocol for 2nd and 3rd-trimester pregnancies.

A
  • Fetal life, number, presentation, and activity should be documented.
  • Estimation of the quantity of amniotic fluid should be documented.
  • Placental localization, appearance, and relationship to the internal cervical os should be recorded. The umbilical cord should be imaged and the number of vessels recorded.
  • Gestational age should be assessed by sonographic biometry. First trimester: crown-rump length. Second and third trimesters: IC, BPD, HC, AC, FL.
  • Uterine, adnexal, and cervical evaluation should be performed to document the presence, location, and size of uterine or adnexal masses that may complicate obstetric management. The normal maternal ovaries may not be imaged during the second and third trimesters.
  • Fetal anatomy may be adequately assessed after 18 weeks of gestation. Anatomy may be difficult because of fetal movement, size, or position and/or maternal scars, or increased wall thickness. When anatomy is not seen because of technical limitations, the sonographer should note the reason. A follow-up examination may be ordered
