Autonomy

True
29

1. Sonography 2. Fetal heart sound 3. B-hcg
30
In dating gestational age, when is sonographic measurements taken?
Before 20 weeks
31
In dating gestational age, what is the duration for documenting Fetal Heart Sound?
Documented for at least 30 weeks
32
In dating gestational age, what is the duration for documenting B-HCG positivity?
Documented for at least 36 weeks
33
When is sedative being given as part of perioperative care?
Bedtime the night before surgery
34
At least how many hours of fasting is required before CS?
6-8 hours
35
At least how many hours does the patient may take CLEAR fluid before CS?
2 hours before
36
What are the goal and protocols of ERAS (Enhanced Recovery after surgery)?
Goal: Strive to maintain anabolic homeostasis Protocol: 1. Advocate clear carbohydrate drink up to 2 hours before surgery 2. Early post operative feeding.
37
What should be done to reduce risk of gastric aspiration in CS?
Administer antacid before REGIONAL anesthesia or use general anethesia
38
In what way does wedge beneath the right hip and lower back creating a lateral tilt can help?
Aid venous return | Avoid hypotension
39
What is the protocol for hair removal during CS?
Clipping, not shaving Done the day of CS (Fewer surgical site infections)
40
Where is electro-grounding pad usually placed?
Lateral thigh
41
3 reasons why indwelling catheter should be inserted
1. to collapse the bladder away from incision 2. Prevent urinary retention in regional anesthesia 3. Allow post-op urine measurement
42
How to prevent Venous thrombosis?
1. Initiate thomboprophylaxis | 2. Initiate pneumatic compression hose before CS and discontinued when woman abulates
43
What kind of wound is CS delivery?
Clean Contaminated wound
44
What is the cost effective Antibiotic of choice for infection prevention?
Cefazolin 1g/dose
45
What are the usual prophylactic antibiotics given in CS delivery?
IV route-- B lactam antibiotic either Cephalosporins or Extended spectrum Penicillins
46
In what condition does the physician add another dose of antibiotics?
1. Blood loss >1500 mL | 2. Three hours duration of surgery
47
How many dose or antibiotic is usually given in CS?
1 dose
48
What are the different laparotomy incisions?
Transverse and Vertical
49
What do you call the transverse laparotomy insicion?
Pfannenstiel or Maylard incision
50
When would you do a Pfannensteil Incision?
1. For cosmetic purpose | 2. To lower incisional hernia rates
51
When would you not do a Pfannensteil Incision?
1. When large operating space is essential 2. When access to the upper abdomen is needed 3. When risk for infection is high 4. When reducing risk of bleeding, wound hematoma and neurological disruption
52
Why is Transverse laparotomy incision not done if there is high risk of infection?
Because of the layers created during incision of the internal and external oblique aponeuroses, purulent fluid can collect between these.
53
Why is transverse laparotomy incision superior in cosmesis?
1. Because it follows the langer lines of the skin tension | 2. Incision can be covered "bikini cut"
54
For repeat CS, which laparotomy incision has more faster reentry?
Vertical
55
Why is Transverse laparotomy incision more time consuming and difficult for reentry?
Because of scarring
56
When would you do a a vertical laparotomy Incision?
1. When minimizing blood loss 2. When needing access to the upper abdomen 3. When extending or larger space is needed. 4. When better visualization of the uterus is needed 5. If you need less operative time
57
When would you not do a a vertical laparotomy Incision?
1. If cosmesis is a concern | 2. When reducing risk of fascial dehiscence and incisional hernia
58
In transverse laparotomy incision, cut is made where?
UPPER BORDER: At the level of pubic hairline (3 cm above superior border of symphysis pubis LATERAL BORDERS: Rectus abdominis muscles
59
What is the adequate width of transverse laparotomy incision to accommodate delivery?
12-15 cm
60
What vessel is usually identified halfway between the skin and facia several cm from the midline that should be coagulated
Superficial epigastric Vessel
61
What are the 2 visible layers of anterior abdominal fascia?
1. Aponeurosis of external oblique | 2. Aponeurosis of internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscle (fused)
62
What is the importance of incising individually the 2 layers of anterior abdominal fascia?
To spare the INFERIOR EPIGASTRIC VESSEL It usually lie outside the lateral border of rectus abdominis muscle and beneath the fused aponeuroses
63
What is the name of the clamp used to grasp the inferior fascial edge once fascia was incised?
Kocher Clamp
64
Why is fascial separation is carried near enough to the umbilicus?
To permit adequate midline longitudinal peritoneal incision.
65
What is being exposed when separating the rectus abdominis and pyramidalis muscles in the midline?
Transversalis fascia and peritoneum
66
For midline laparotomy vertical incision, cut is made where?
2-3 cm above the superior margin of the symphysis up to the infraumbilical area Incision length should correspond to estimated fetal size, approximately 12-15 cm
67
How is accidental cystotomy prevented?
Small opening is made sharply with scalpel in the upper half of the linea alba
68
What are the different hysterotomy incisions?
Low transverse Classical Low segment vertical
69
Advantage of low transverse hysterotomy incision
✓ Easier to repair ✓ Located at a site least likely to rupture during a subsequent pregnancy ✓ Does not promote adherence of bowel or omentum to the incisional line
70
Classical incision uses vertical or transverse insicion?
Vertical
71
Indication of Classical Hysterotomy incision
If the LUS cannot be exposed or entered safely because of: 1. Bladder adherent densely from the previous surgery 2. Myoma in the lower uterine segment 3. Invasive cancer of the cervix 4. Large fetus in the transverse lie (dorsoanterior or backdown) 5. Placenta previa with anterior implantation 6. Very small fetuses in breech with LUS knot 7. Massive maternal obesity where upper uterus is easily accessible
72
Vertical incision at the lower uterine segment
Low segment vertical incision
73
A vertical incision into the body of the uterus above the lower uterine segment and reaches the uterine fundus
Classical incision
74
Lower uterine segment is incised transversely
Low transverse incision
