28
types of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia
persistent/invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, and placental-site trophoblastic tumor
29
Most common form of GTD
hydatidiform mole
30
GTD characterized by
beta subunit of hCG
31
Patient presents with abnormal uterine bleeding at 8 weeks gestation, has excessive amounts of N/V, larger uterus than expected, and enlarged cystic ovaries that are palpable. She has not had any previous pregnancies, Diet deficient in folic acid, poor, and is 18 years old. Dx and tests?
Hydatidiform mole. Serum hCG beta subunit greater than 40,000 mU/mL and urinary hCG greater than 100,000 units/24 hours. Imaging- US and CXR to r/o pulmonary metastases of trophoblast
32
"snow storm" image on ultrasound, amenorrhea, irregular uterine bleeding
gestational trophoblastic disease
33
F/U with GTD
effective contraception. quantitative hCG levels- goal is below 5 mU/mL. First 2 weeks, check weekly. after 2 negative weekly tests, check monthly for 6 months. then every 2 months for a year
34
neonatal defined as
birth to 28 days
35
perinatal defined as
28 weeks gestation to 7 days after birth
36
corrected age=
chronological age - # weeks born prematurely
37
primiparous
pregnant for first time
38
how early might colostrum secretion occur
as early as 11 weeks
39
braxton hick's contractions usually begin around...
28 weeks
40
cardiac activity detected when in fetus?
at about 5-6 weeks viz transvaginal sonogram
41
when can you detect hCG
serum- 7 days after conception or 21-22 days after LNMP. Urine- first voided morning urine sample
42
half life of hCG
1.5 days
43
when does hCG go back down to normal levels?
21-24 days after delivery/fetal loss
44
when is gestational age usually determined and how?
by crown rump length between 6-13 weeks gestation. by ultrasound, most accurate parameter is between 13-20 weeks
45
smoking effect on mothers
difficulty getting pregnant, water breaks too early, placenta separates from womb too early causing bleeding, and placenta covers cervix causing complications. may also cause pregnancy to occur outside of womb
46
smoking effect on babies
born too small, too early, sudden infant death syndrome, fetal or infant death. May also cause miscarriage or certain birth defects
47
drinking during pregnancy
can cause growth issues and CNS or behavioral problems. if during first trimester, can cause abnormal facial features
48
incresed alpha fetoprotein associated with
increased risk of spina bifida, twins
49
increased hCG level
increased risk of downs syndrome, or might be gestational trophoblastic tumor
50
ptyalism
excessive salivation
51
when do drugs, nicotine, and alcohol have their greatest effect during pregnancy?
during organogenesis- embryonic stage, which is 2-10 weeks gestation
52
nutriotional requirements in pregnancy
1 g/kg/day + 20 g/day in second half of pregnancy protein, 1200mg calcium, 30 g Iron, 0.4 mg folic acid, inc caloric requirement- about 400 kcal/day in second and third trimesters
53
tx options for GTD
suction dilation and curettage, methotrexate or dactinomycin, multi-agent chemotherapy, hysterectomy, oral contraceptives
54
complication of GTD
thyrotoxicosis
55
if maternal T4 is low, what is consequence?
Maternal t4 converted to T3 which is needed for fetal dev. of brain. if less maternal T4, this results in low fetal T3 in brain
56
antithyroid meds not to be used in pregnancy
methimazole. but can use PTU
57
when is peripartum cardiomyopathy diagnosed?
late pregnancy or about 5 months after delivery
58
left ventricular systolic dysfunction less than 45% in woman in last month of pregnancy with no previous hx of heart disease. suspect..
peripartum cardiomyopathy
59
tx of peripartum cardiomyopathy
supportive care, diuretics, vasodilators, digitalis, maybe BB. If EF less than 34%, prophylactic anticoagulation during pregnancy and full anticoagulation for 7-10 days after delivery to avoid thromboembolism
60
NEW murmur during systole in woman that is 7 months pregnant who is very tired and appears swollen, has SOB, racing heart. how to diagnose?
EKG, BNP to check for stretching of myocardium, chest Xray may see cardiomegaly, Hgb and TSHrT4 to check for other fatigue causes, BMP or CMP for electrolytes
61
anatomic disorders of placenta
twin twin transfusion syndrome, placental infarction, chorioangioma, amniotic bands
62
abnormalities in placental implantation
placenta previa and accreta
63
amputation of limbs or digits can be a consequence of this placental disorder
amniotic bands
64
painless, bright red vaginal bleeding
placenta previa (in 2nd or third trimester), placenta accreta (after 24 weeks)
65
types of placenta previa
complete, partial, marginal, or low-lying
66
placenta increta
invasion into myometrium
67
placenta percreta
goes all the way through myometrium, associated with postpartum hemorrhage, increased need for immediate hysterectomy
68
invasion into myometrium ranges
a little bit- accreta, halfway- increta. all the way through- percreta
69
reasons for spontaneous births
pre term labor, PPROM (pretermed premature rupture of membranes), cervical incompetence
70
maternal complications from multiple gestation
pre-eclampsia, gestation diabetes, pre term labor, post partum hemorrhage, UTI's, placenta previa
71
fetal complications from multiple gestation
spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, structural anomalies, fetal growth restriction, twin twin transfusion, malpresentation
72
painless, third trimester bright red bleeding
placenta previa
73
which types of placenta previa can you deliver vaginally vs. c-section
vaginally- marginal, low lying, and incomplete. c-section= complete (completely over cervix)
74
NO DIGITAL VAGINAL EXAMS if this condition
placenta previa
75
separation of placenta from uterine wall
abruptio placentae
76
abruptio placenta risk factors
trauma, smoking, HTN, drug use, pre term rupture of membranes, multiparity
77
PAINFUL vaginal bleeding could be in any trimester, contracting like crazy
abruptio placentae
