Q

If a women takes an at home urine preg test and it is positive what is the range of b-hCG? Which test is able to detect pregnancy sooner?

Q

What 2 things are you primarily screening for during genetic testing of preg women?

Note: genetic tests are not diagnostic, they only indic woman’s risk vs women her age ( + screen = higher than age related risk)

Q

What are the 3 genetic tests done during the first trimester?

What are the screening for?

A
  1. PaPP-A

  3. Nuchal Translucency (NT)

screening for Trisomy 13, 18, 21

18
Q

What is the name of the genetic screening test done in the 2nd trimester? what is included in it?

How does this screening differ from 1st trimester screen?

Which quad screening test is specifically for neural tube defects?

A

QUAD Screen

  1. msAFP = neural tube defects
  2. b hCG
  3. Estradiol
  4. Inhibin

QUAD screen can only screen for Trisomy 18, 21 (1st trimester does all 3 types)

19
Q

What other genetic blood test screens for trisomy 13, 18, 21?

When is this test better?
What does it also tell you?

A

NIPT = Non-invasive Prenatal testing

  • better for older women
  • tells you baby’s sex
20
Q

What should you look at on 1st trimester screen to determine if Trisomy 13, 18 or 21?
What are the value differences?

A

look at b hCG

  • high = trisomy 21
  • very low = trisomy 18
  • low = trisomy 13
21
Q

What is a normal NT value?

A

normal NT: < 3 mm

22
Q

What is the difference in lab results b/t Trisomy 21 and 18 seen on QUAD screen?

A

Trisomy 21: high b hCG + Inhibin

everything low in Trisomy 18

23
Q

2 Types of genetic TESTING?

  • what is genetic testing looking for?
  • which is done earlier in preg
A
  • genetic testing looking for chrom abnormalities

  2. What else is detected during this time?
  3. What should be given to women ppx during this time?
A
  1. MC complaint = round ligament pain (relief w/positioning)
  2. Detect fetal movement

27
Q

What is the name of the SCREENING test for GDM?

What is the name of the Diagnostic Test for GDM (only done if fail screening test_

A

GCT - Glucose Challegene Test

Diagnostic Test = GTT (Gluc Tolerance Test)

Q

How is the GCT performed?
What value indicates failure?

How is GTT performed?
What is considered a (+) test?

A

GCT: pt drinks 50g of sugar –> check sugar 1 hr later
- fail = BS > 140

GTT: pt drinks 100g of sugar –> test BS every hr for 3 hrs

which is more concerning?

A
  • CST: no late decelerations

+ CST: late decelerations
more worrisome

35
Q

What is a negative vs positive CST?

which is more concerning?

  • CST: no late decelerations

+ CST: late decelerations
more worrisome

36

A
  1. scoring for each category = all or nothing (0 or 2 points)
  2. > 8/10 = reassuring
  3. < 4/10 = abn –> risk of asphyxia/hypoxemia (probs need to deliver)
