Q

How should you counsel woman re wt gain for bmi

*note: only 7 lb of the wt gain is fat

Study These Flashcards
A

BMI 30 = obese, should gain 11-20 lb

24
Q

How should we counsel women re kcal intake needed (preg vs lactating)

Study These Flashcards
A

nonpreg: 2200 kcal
Preg: 2500 kcal
Lactating: 2640 kcal

25
How should we counsel preg women re travel
yes, DVT is a worry but more concern over risk of complication and having to stay where she is for 10wk. Fly > drive
26
how should we be counseling pt in 2nd trimester
address indiv problem discuss normal/abn labs warn about preterm labor discuss childbirth education
27
what counseling components should be included in 3rd trimester
1. Hospital facilities 2. Labor anesthesia 3. Signs of labor 4. Fetal Surveillance 5. Post-dates counseling and induction
28
What are the tests for fetal well-being | *good if have GDM or preg HTN
Fetal mvmt or kick counts Non-stress test (NST) - belt on belly to measure heart tracing to determine hypoxia Contraction stress test (CST) Biophysical Profile (BPP) -
29
Common complaints of preg include? what do we do to help? *don't need to know for test?
NV: * unclear etiology; * rec small freq meals, * push fluid, * antiemetics (Promethazine, Meclizine, Reglan, Zofran, ginger, pyridoxine (vitB6)), IV hydration, steroids * **steroids only for severe hypermesis Backache - mild Varicosities HA, Hemorrrhoids, Heartburn, PICA fatigue, vag dc, constipation, urinary freq
30
PROCESS OF LABOR | Define: Labor, effacement, dilation, presenting part, station
Labor: uterine activity that results in progressive dilation and effacement of the cervix Effacement: thinning or shortening of length of cervix (normal length >2.5 cm) Dilation: Diameter of cervical ox in cm complete = 10cm dilation with 100% effacement Presenting part: part of baby coming 1st through birth canal Station: degree of descent of the presenting part in the birth canal in relationship to the ISCHIAL SPINE
31
True labor vs False labor (braxton hicks contractions)
True: reg intervals, gradually increasing in freq and intensity, CERVICAL DIALTION, back and abd discomfort, no relief from sedation False: irreg intervals and duration, intensity unchanged, no dilation, lower abd pain, relief with sedation
32
what components are included in labor and delivery eval
Rev hx & PE (ACOG antepartum record) * brief hx, vitals, cervical exam * status of membranes (has water broken!) * fetal monitoring
33
What signs can help confirm or r/o suspected membrane rupture
* sterile speculum technique!!! * pooling of amniotic fluid in posterior fornix of vagina * direct visualization of fluid leakage through the cervix a) Nitrazine test; intact = pH 5-6, rupture = 6.5-8 BLUE b) "Fern test": air dried sample of vaginal fluid under micro, looks like fern = + rupture
34
Describe the 1st stage of labor
* onset labor to full cervical dilation and effacement * subdivided into phases based on rate of cervical dilation a) latent: first reg contractions --> 3-4cm dilation; <0.5 cm/hr slow rate b) active: 1 cm/h, ends with complete dilation c) rates depend on parity
35
Describe the second stage of labor
begins: complete dilation ends: delivery of infant * *PUSHING phase
36
Describe third stage
Begins: delivery ends: delivery of placenta *want less than 30 min
37
What is friedman curve
lets us know if women is progressing appropriately | station, dilation, time
38
Progress of labor: 3 p's
Power: uterine contractions Passenger: want baby OA (face down) Passage: Gynecoid pelvis best for labor and most common
39
Descibe adequate power in labor
* uterine contractions: 3-5 in 10min (30-60 sec long) * ^freq and strength due to PG E2 and F2alpha * ^ sensitivity of uterine m fibers to OXYTOCIN
40
How can we know how much the uterus is contracting?
1. External tocodynamometry: freq and duration not intensity 2. Internal tocodynamometry: measures freq, duration and intensity (IUPC = intrauterine pressure catheter) * *probe that goes in, water has to be broken already
41
Baby size >4500g
macrosomic
42
How can the baby present
vertex face brow (shoulder) Breech: frank, complete, footling (can do version to help spin baby, risk is placenta rupture) Transverse Lie Cmpd: 2 fetal parts (risk of anterior tears)
43
Parts of bony pelvis include
Inlet, midpelvis, outlet
44
what are the cardinal mvmts of labor (changes of position of fetus as it passes through birth canal due to asymmetry of in shape of fetal head and maternal pelvis) E,F,D,IR,Ex,ER
1. Engagement: passage of widest diameter of the presenting part to level below pelvic inlet 2. Flexion: head flexed, fetus present smallest diameter of its head 3. Descent: greatest rate of descent during latter portions of 1st stage of labor and during 2nd stage of labor 4. Internal rotation: rotate presenting part from original position (usu transverse) to AP position as it passes through pelvis 5. Extension: once fetus descends to introitus, Head extends beneath maternal pubic symphysis and head delivers 6. External rotation (restitution): head rotates 45 deg to line up w shoulders which are oblique in maternal pelvis
45
What occurs during third stage of labor
Uterus sig decreases in size Want placenta out <30 min (otherwise need to manually remove bc risk DIC) *uterus rises in abdomen *globular configuration *gush of blood and/or lengthening of umbilical cord
46
What can help with fetal monitoring
Intermittent auscultation Electronic fetal monitoring (ext US transducer on abd, Internal scalp eletrode ECG) HR: 120-160 Tachy: 160-180 (intermittent is okay, but if consistent, worry about fever) Brady <120: worry if consistent, that baby has heart block
47
How should we assess heart rate variability (fetal monitoring) *lets us know CNS functioning in tact
Fluctuation in FHR short term: variation in amp beat to beat AND Long term: wavelike pattern changing every 4-6 cycles/min D on example
48
Do we want accelerations in fetal heart rate
yes: periodic increases 15 bpm above baseline 15 sec these FHR accelerations let us know no hypoxemia or acidemia want 2 accel. every 20 min
49
How should we interpret decelerations in FHR
we worry about these Early deceleration: mirrors shape of contraction, due to head compression, PHYSIOLOGIC Variable: respect to timing of contraction, shape and severity, due to CORD compression - move mom to left side Late: Fetal hypoxia, placental insufficiency, maternal hypoTN or hypoxia (*baby HR goes down after contraction) - need to intervene ASAP
50
What options for labor pain relief are there
- Psych: lamaze, relaxation techniques - Systemic: sedatives (vistaril), narcotics (demerol, stadol, nubain), dissociative drugs (ketamine - amnesia) - Paracervical block - pudendal block * *EPIDURAL (risk for maternal HypoTN, have IV)
51
what degrees of laceration are there *only 4% get 3rd or 4th deg tear
first: vaginal mucosa, not underlying tissue Second: underlying SQ but not rectal sphincter/mucosa Third: through rectal sphincter but not into rectal mucosa Fourth: extends into rectal mucosa most women who tear have posterior tear
52
when should we recommend induction of labor, and how do we know likelihood of success
*recommend only if medically indicated BISHOP score assess likelihood of successful induction *9-13 pt = high likelihood of success *0-4 is high likelihood of failed induction
53
what ways can we induce labor
1. stripping membrane (not used) 2. Amniotomy 3. PG gel 4. OXYTOCIN*** most common but worry about uterine hyperstimulation 5. Misoprostol (Cytotec)
54
what are complications of oxytocin
1. Uterine hyperstimulation: >5 contractions q 10min 2. Fetal distress or intolerance to labor: late decelerations of FHR 3. Water intoxication caused by Antidiuretic properties of oxytocin *monitor urinary output
55
What is Puerperium
period following delivery of baby and placenta to about 6 wk postpartum Anatomic resolution * (1000g uterus to 50-100g) * lactating influenced by PRL, no ovulation 3 months! * non lactating: ovulation possible 6 wk pospartum * vagina: decreases in size but walls thin and can be dry till ovulation resumes (may need topical estrogen)
56
How do you manage Puerperium period
``` hospital: 1-2 d if vaginal, 2-4 if c/s limit PA (wait till 4-6 wk at pospartum visit, familiy planing), Sexual activity, work ``` edu pros of breast feeding (colostrum 1st d, mature milk d 3-5) psychosocial changes: postpartum blues vs pospartum depression
