OB HTN, Preecclampsia, low birth weight, macrosomia

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Why is syphilis a predisposing factor for preeclampsia?   larger placenta.  
🗑
Woman under 20 seizing is presumed to be   eclampsia  
🗑
Underlying chronic hypertension that antecedes pregnancy   Coincidental HTN (ex: SLE, Collagen dz, renal transplant)  
🗑
Underlying hypertension worsened by pregnancy   Pregnancy-aggravated HTN  
🗑
Mild hypertension that develops after the mid-trimester that does not compromise pregnancy. Regresses after delivery   Transient HTN  
🗑
Preconceptional and/or chronic risk factors   Partner related factors: nulliparity/primipaternity, limited sperm exposure, teenager, donor insemination, partner fathering preeclamptic pregnancy with another woman  
🗑
Preconceptional and/or chronic risk: Maternal-specific risk factors   hx of prior preeclampsia, increasing maternal age, interval between pregnancy, fm hx, underlying maternal disorders (i.e. - CHBP, renal dz, DM, hereditary thrombophilias)  
🗑
Severe PreEclampsia signs and symptoms   HA, Hyperreflexia (3+, ankle clonus), visual changes: photophobia, blurry, blind spots, Irritability, Epigastric (hepatic) pain of elevated liver enzymes, Edema: face, hands and abdomen; oliguria  
🗑
HELLP Syndrome (complication in 10% of severe preeclampsia/eclampsia)   Hemolysis, Elevated, Liver Enzymes, Low, Platelets. (major factor for maternal morbidity and mortality)  
🗑
Classic presentation of HELLP   Primary sx: Malaise, fatigue. N/V, HA, RUQ Abd pain, Severe increase in BP, 3+ protein, 85% of the time  
🗑
1/3 of patients who seize, seize   after they deliver (post-partum)  
🗑
Eclampsia Definition   Seizure-->anoxia-->hypoxia-->hypoxemia-->uteroplacental insufficiency, possibly abruptio->fetal distress->fetal growth restriction, preterm brith, low birth wt. Can lead to maternal and/or fetal death.  
🗑
Eclampsia worse if   Worse outcomes if occurs before 28 wk, if mother > 25 yr. multigravid, with pre-existing renal or hypertensive disease  
🗑
Abruptio Placenta   Partial or complete detachment of placenta from uterine wall, after 20 wk gestationRisk factors: Cocaine use, maternal HTN, trauma  
🗑
Sx of Abruptio Placenta   Bleeding, but may be entrapped (behind the placenta). May have pain. May get hypovolemic or shocky  
🗑
Prevention of Preeclampsia   low dose ASA  
🗑
Eclampsia   Distinction is the presence of a seizure.  
🗑
Preeclampsia   risk of having a seizure  
🗑
Risk factors for gestational diabetes   fm hx, overweight, >25, ethnic risk, prior macrosomic infant, prior stillbirth, chronic htn, glycosuria, BMI >/= 27. 4% of all pregnancies have gestational diabetes.  
🗑
Screen at 24-48 wks with 1 hour glucola if >25 or fm hx of DM or ethnic risk. NML FBS and 2 HR GTT   not at risk. 2 Abnls or FBS>199, =GDM  
🗑
maternal complications of GDM   Pre-eclampsia 4x more likely, bacterial infxn, macrosomia/shoulder dystocia, polyhydramios, ketoacidosis, preterm labor, 30-50% develop DM II in 10 yrs, 50-100% develop DM II in 20 yrs  
🗑
Neonatal complications of GDM include: macrosomia (2-3x more likely: birth injury, hypoglycemia), Major anomalies (3x more likely: cardiac, neural, tube defects, skeletal) and   predisposition to DM and obesity, polycythemia, hyperbilirubinemia, pernatal moratlity 4x more likely  
🗑
Tx for GDM   Diet: 2000-25000, 3 meals and 2 snacks, blood glucose monitoring, insulin, exercise  
🗑
FBG and 2 hr postprandial goals in pregnant DM   <100, <120  
🗑
Shoulder Dystocia risk factors include: macrosomia (diabetes and postdates), maternal obesity adn excessive weight gain, previous infant>40000g, and   DM, prolonged second stage, prolonged deceleration phase (8-10cm), instrument midpelvic delivery, rapid descent of fetal head (vacuum, forceps)  
🗑
Birth Trauma   Brachial plexus injury (2.4%), Clavicular fx (1.7%), facial nerve injury (7.2%)  
🗑
Macrosomia   Amniotic fluid volume: vertical pocket>8.0cm (33% incidence of macrosomia)vs. 7.8% normal fluid  
🗑
Amniotic Fluid Abnormality   Polyhydramnios: DM, Fetal abnormalities, twins, hydrops. >25cm AFl on US  
🗑
Amniotic Fluid Abnormality   Oligohydramnios: post dates, fetal growth restriction, renal abnormalities, premature rupture of membranes. <5cm AFl on US  
🗑
Normal Amniotic fluid volume at term   1L.  
🗑
Fetal growth restriction   specific pathologic term. birth weight at or below the 10th percentile for gestational age and gender occurs as a result of a pathologic process that inhibits expression of normal growth potential  
🗑
Fetal growth restriction definition   weight<10th percentile. Risk factors: chronic vascular dz, htn, smoking, fetal abnormalities, multifetal gestation, abnormal placentation, poor maternal weight gain or nutrition  
🗑
Diagnosis of FGR   return to  
🗑
Starving baby   asymmetric growth: head is big, body is small  
🗑
Etiology of Fetal Growth Restriction   Genetic factors, Infections, multifetal gestation  
🗑
Greatest infx leading to FGR   Rubella (40-60% of cases)  
🗑
Management of Fetal Growth Restriction   US for growth assessment, Antenatal testing (nonstress testing, biophysical profile, umbilical doppler), delivery with maturity or by 35 wks if evidence of compromise or poor growth  
🗑
Doppler used   to measure perfusion. High S/D ration means baby is underperfusing  
🗑
Long-term follow-up of FGR   high mortality in the first 2 years of life, decreased height and head circumference measurement at 4 years of age, intellectual deficits  
🗑
PIH: Pregnancy Induced HTN: develops as a consequence of pregnancy and regresses post partum. NOTES:   HTN w/o proteinuria or pathologic edema; Preeclampsia- proteinuria and/or pathologic edema (mild or severe); Eclampsia: proteinuria and/or pathologic edema WITH convulsions  
🗑
