Q

endocrine adaption to pregnancy

A
  • enlargement of pituitary increasing prolactin

Q

what is role of progesterone in pregnancy

A
  • maintains uterus in relaxed state; withdrawal of function (but not concentration) leads to labor - possibly by decreased receptions
  • antiinflammatory
  • immunosuppressive

what are the measures on ultrasound that estimate GA? when is the best time
crown-rump length: 1st trimester/ GA +/- 3-5d cephalo-biparietal diameter: GA +/- 7d if 14-20wk abdominal circumference: GA +/- 3 week femur length: GA +/- 3 week
26
stages of fetal growth
first 16 weeks: hyperplastic; increased cell number and DNA 16-32 weeks: hyperplastic and hypertrophic; increase in cell number and size 32+: increase in cell size, protein and rna; most fetal fat and glycogen deposition
27
ponderal index =
(weight (g) x 100)/ (crown-heel)^3
28
timing of splitting of twins
DCDA: < 3d MCDA 4-7d MCMA 8-13 conjoined 13-15
29
cellphase at time of splitting of twins
DCDA: morula MCDA: blastocyst MCMA: implanted blastocyst
30
MC type of twin
MCDA
31
NST reactive -
>2 accelerations in 20 minutes with fetal movements and increased HR > 15 lasting >15 seconds
32
BPP parts
1. NST 2. fetal movement 3. breathing 4. tone 5. AFV
33
early deceleration
head compression --> cerebral blood flow --> vagal deceleration of HR
34
variable deceleration
umbilical cord compression leading to: 1. BP fetus --> baroreceptor --> vagal deceleration of HR 2. fetal hypoxemia --> chemoreceptor --> vagal deceleration of HR 3. fetal hypoxemia --> myocardial depression --> vagal deceleration of HR
35
late deceleration
uteroplacental insufficiency: 1. fetal chemoreceptors > alpha adrenergics > BP > baro > parasympathetics > late decel 2. myocardial depression
36
differences in paO2 by vessel
maternal uterine artery > maternal uterine vein > UV > UA
37
differences in paCO2 by vessel
UA> UV/uterine vein > uterine artery
38
differences in pH by vessel
uterine artery > UV/uterine vein > umbilical artery
39
MoA terbutaline
b2 agonist --> cAMP --> decrease intracellular Ca --> decrease uterine contractiliy
40
MoA Mg sulfate
decrease Ach release from NMJ (Ca antagonist) --> decrease uterine contractility
41
MoA indomethacin
Pg synthase inhibitor
42
MoA nifedipine
CCB --> decrease uterine contractility

53
measles or mumps? increased risk of SAB in first trimester
mumps
54
fetal weight is estimated based on what 4 parameters
