32
Q

Thickened or elnarged nuchal translucency is an indication of what?

A

Down syndrome

Q

when do you perform the triple or quad screens?

A

at 15 to 20 weeks

35
Q

triple screen

A

maternal serum alpha fetoprotein, beta-HCG, estriol

36
Q

quad screen

A

maternal serum alpha fetoprotein, beta-HCG, estriol, inhibin A

37
Q

increased MSAFP may indicate

A

dating error, neural tube defects, or abdominal wall defects

38
Q

third trimester testing

A

CBC (Hgb 140 - glucose tolerance test), cervical clx for chlam and gon (tx if pos), GBS (ppx if pos)

39
Q

chorionic villus sampling

at 10 to 13 weeks inadvanced maternal age or known genetic dz, obtains fetal karyotype; transabdominally or transvaginally

40
Q

amniocentesis

at 11 to 14 weeks inadvanced maternal age or known genetic dz, obtains fetal karyotype; transabdominally

41
Q

fetal blood sampling: method and indication

A

transabdominal percutaneous umbilical blood sample, done for patients with Rh isoimmunization or fetal CBC needed

42
Q

most common location for an ectopic pregnancy

A

ampulla of the fallopian tube

43
Q

risk factors for ectopic pregnancy

A

previous ectopic pregnancy, PID, IUD

44
Q

presentation of an ectopic pregnancy

45
Q

abortion

A

pregnancy that ends before 20 weeks or fetus is <500 grams

46
