Q

First trimester maternal screen

A

At 10-13 weeks
PAPP-A
B hCG
Combined with maternal age - detects 60-65% T21

+ nuchal translucency 10-14 weeks
Mat age + PAPP A + BhCG + NT detects 78-89% of T21 and 91% of T18

27
Q

Teratogenic effects:
Warfarin

A

Exposure 6-12 weeks GA
Nasal hypoplasia, mental deficiency, seizures, stippled bone epiphyses

Heparin does NOT cross the placenta

28
Q

Symmetric IUGR/SGA

A

HC proportional to rest of body
Early onset (prior to 3rd trimester)
Risk of perinatal depression is low
Blood flow to ICA is normal
Normal glycogen fat and glucose stores
Etiology: Usually intrinsic, results from chromosomal abnormalities, congenital infections, and some IEM

29
Q

Asymmetric IUGR/SGA

A

HC % greater than weight %
Onset 3rd trimester (but can develop between 16-32 weeks as well)
Risk of perinatal depression is increased
Blood flow to the ICA is increased (thus the brain growth is spared)
Low glycogen and fat stores so an increased risk of hypoglycemia
Etiology: usually environmental, results from uteroplacental insufficiency from preE, cHTN, or severe maternal DM

30
Q

Neonatal effects of IUGR

A

Depressed immune system (decreased lymphocyte number and function and decreased Ig levels)
Hyperglycemia (bc of low insulin and increased catecholamines)
Hypoglycemia (bc of low stores)
Hypothermia
Hypocalcemia (bc of decreased vascular supply in utero)
Perinatal depression (bc of acute on chronic stress)
Polycythemia (bc of chronic hypoxemia)
Mortality risk 5-20x greater than AGA counterpart

31
Q

Mechanism of hydrops

A

Congestive heart failure (most common)
Anemia
Lymphatic obstruction
