26
Optional tests during 1st trimester
Tuberculosis | Trisomy 21: early testing with PAPP-A and fetal nuchal translucency
27
Tuberculosis testing in 1st trimester
- optional test - test for exposure in high risk moms - (+) test is induration, not erythema
28
TB management in pregnancy
- If (+) PPD, order CXR to r/o active disease
29
Treatment for (+) PPD
(+) PDD and (-) CXR: Isoniazide and B6 for 9 mths (+) PPD and (+) CXR (+) sputum: triple therapy antiTB if sputum stain positive ** Avoid streptomycin in pregnancy for risk of ototoxicity
30
Trisomy 21: Early testing
- B-hCG - PAPPA - Fetal nuchal translucency - offered to high risk pregnancies (> age of 35 y.o at delivery or women w/ prior hx of Trisomy 21)
31
Trisomy 21 (Early Testing): Management
(+) screening test is confirmed w/ CVS sampling in 1st trimester
32
Maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (MS-AFP)
- increases w/ gestational age and is expressed in MoM - > 2.2 MoM is considered elevated - < 2. 2 MoM is considered normal
33
Inhibin A
made by placenta during pregnancy and normally remains constant during 15th - 18th week of pregnancy - is increased in blood in mothers of fetuses w/ Downs Syndrome
34
23 y.o F (G3P1 Abortion 1) is seen at 17 weeks gestation. She recently underwent triple marker screen w/ MS-AFP (normal
U/S | - most common cause of abnormal MS-AFP is gestational dating error
35
Second Trimester Optional Tests
1. MS-AFP 2. B-hCG 3. Add Inhibin A in high risk women (increased sensitivity to 80%)
36
Increased MS-AFP
- neural tube defect (NTD) - ventral wall defect - twin pregnancy - placental bleeding - renal disease - sacrococcygeal teratoma
37
Decreased MS-AFP
- Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) | - Trisomy 18
38
Trisomy 21
- decreased MS-AFP - decreased estriol - increased B-hCG
39
Trisomy 18 (Edward syndrome)
- decreased MS-AFP - decreased estriol - decreased B-hCG
40
Pt has abnormal MS-AFP. Next step?
1. Perform U/S to confirm dates 2. If dating error, repeat MS-AFP If normal, repeat MS-AFP is reassuring
41
If patient has abnormally increased MS-AFP and dates have been confirmed by ultrasound. Next step?
For increased MS-AFP, - do aminiocentesis for amniotic fluid alpha fetoprotein level and acetylcholintersase activity * * elevated amniotic fluid acetylcholinesterase activity are specific open to NTD
42
If patient has abnormally decreased MS-AFP and dates have been confirmed by U/S. What's next step?
For decreased MS-AFP | - amniocentesis for karyotyping
43
38 y.o F (G2P1) is at 27 weeks gestation. She weighs 227 lbs. She has gained 30 lbs during her pregnancy but reports that most of it is fluid retention. She was diagnosed w/ gestational diabetes during her last pregnancy. Which of the following is the next step in management?
Obtain 1-hr 50 g OGTT (indicated in 24-28 weeks) | -- if positive, then patient undergoes confirmatory 3 hr 100g OGTT
44
What conditions do you test for during 3rd trimester of pregnancy
- Diabetes - Anemia - Atypical antibodies - GBS Screening
45
Diabetes during pregnancy
- test during 24- 28 weeks of pregnancy - screening test: 1hr 50g OGTT - abnormal result is > 140mg/dL - if (+) screening test: perform 3hr 100g OGTT for glucose intolerance
46
Anemia during pregnancy
- Do CBC at 24-28 weeks - Hemoglobin < 10 g / dL = anemia - Most common cause is Fe deficiency
47
Atypical antibody testing during pregnancy
- Do Indirect Coombs test - performed on Rh-negative women to look after anti-D antibodies before giving RhoGAM - RhoGAM is not indicated in Rh negative women who have developed anti-D antibodies
48
GBS Screening during pregnancy
- test for vaginal and rectal cx for GBS (35-37 weeks) - (+) GBS is high risk for neonatal sepsis. Tx with intrapartum IV abx (IV penicillin G, IV clindamycin or erythromycin in penicillin allergic patient)
49
Confirmatory testing for diabetes in pregnancy
3hr 100g OGTT
50
Gestational diabetes: diagnosis
After taking 3hr 100 g OGTT - if plasma glucose > 125 mg/dL at beginning of test - DIABETES MELLITUS - abnormal plasma measurements > 140 mg/dL at 3 h, 155 mg/dL at 2h, and > 180 mg/dL at 1h - if > 2 of postglucose load measurements are abnormal, the diagnosis is GESTATIONAL DIABETES
51
Impaired glucose tolerance after 3hr 100g OGTT
- only 1 postglucose load measurement is abnormal
52
Indications to give RhoGAM to Rh negative mothers
Give to Rh negative mothers: - at 28 weeks - within 72 hrs of delivery - after miscarriage or abortion - during amniocentesis or CVS - with heavy vaginal bleeding
53
N/V Management during pregnancy
- Doxylamine - Metoclopramide - Ondansetron - Promethazine - Pyroxidine
54
Third Trimester Bleeding
1. Perform initial management - Vitals, external fetal monitor, IV fluids 2. Order lab tests - CBC, DC w/u, type and crossmatch, obstetric U/S 3. Further steps in management - Blood xfusions, foley catheter, vaginal exam to r/o lacerations, scheule delivery if fetus is > 36 weeks
55
When do you perform speculum exam or digital exam in pregnant patient w/ late trimester vaginal bleeding?
- Digital rectal exam OR speculum exam | MUST DO VAGINAL U/S TO R/O PLACENTA PREVIA
56
Abruptio Placenta
- sudden onset vaginal bleeding - severe constant pelvic pain in patient w/ hx of HTN or trauma (e.g. MVA) - bleeding results from avulsion of anchoring placental villi from lower uterine segment
57
Feared complication of abruptio placenta
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) | - release of thromboplastin into the circulation
58
Placenta Previa
- sudden onset painless bleeding occurs at rest or during activity w/o warning - includes hx of trauma, coitus, or pelvic examination before bleeding occurs - occurs when placenta is implanted in lower uterine segment
59
Complete placenta previa
- the placenta covers the entire os
60
Incomplete placenta previa
- the placenta partially covers the cervical os
61
Placenta accreta
- if placental implantation occurs over a previous uterine scare, the villi may invade into the deeper layers of decidua basalis and myometrium - intractable bleeding may require cesarian hysterectomy
62
Vasa Previa
- life-threatening for the fetus | - occurs when velamentous cord insertion results in umbilical vessels crossing the placental membranes over cervix
63
Vasa Previa: Classic triad
1. Rupture of membranes 2. Painless vaginal bleeding 3. Fetal bradycardia ** Emergency C-section is always 1st step management
64
Uterine rupture
- hx of uterine scar w/ sudden-onset abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding associated w/ loss of electronic fetal heart rate, uterine contractions, and recession of fetal head
65
Abruptio placenta: risk factors
- Previous abruption - Hypertension - Trauma - Cocaine abuse
66
Abruptio placenta: diagnosis
Placenta in normal position +/- retroplacental hematoma
67
Abruptio placenta: management
1. Emergent C-section: 2. Vaginal delivery > 36 weeks or continued bleeding. 3. Admit and observe if bleeding has stopped, vital and fetal heart rate stable, or < 34 weeks
