Preventive: Vit K, Erythromycin eye ointment, HBV vaccine

Screening: Newborn screen, Hyperbili, Hearing screen, pre and post ductal pulse oximetry, hypoglycemia

23
Q

Pregnancy Management in patients with HSV

27
Q

Magnesium Toxicity features

A

Mild: nausea, flushing, headache, hyporeflexia

moderate: areflexia, hypocalcemia, somnolence

Severe: respiratory paralysis, cardiac arrest

TTE: stop Mg, give calcium gluconate bolus

28
Q

Magnesium Toxicity mechanism

A

Inhibition of presynaptic Acetylcholine release (neuromuscular inhibition),

Decreased urine output increases risk for toxicity.
