Question
Answer
1st trimester bleed: DDx   implantation; impending SAB; ectopic; cervical polyp/ neoplasia  
🗑
TVS: gestational sac visible at:   4.5 - 5 wks  
🗑
TVS: fetal pole w/cardiac activity visible at:   5.5 - 6 wks  
🗑
Any bleeding in the first half of an intrauterine pregnancy =   Threatened Ab  
🗑
Threatened Ab =   bleeding, often painless; 25% of PG (1/2 go to SAB); closed os & EGA; need US  
🗑
Rupture of membranes and/or cervix open, pregnancy loss unavoidable =   Inevitable Ab; cervix is dilated, bleeding increasing, cramping. No expulsion of POC.  
🗑
Complete Ab: when:   Common prior to 12 weeks  
🗑
Incomplete Ab is more likely after what point in time?   After 12 weeks  
🗑
Rupture of membranes, fetus passed, but placental tissue retained; cervix open, gestational tissue seen in cervix, uterus <EGA; bleeding can be severe =   Incomplete Ab  
🗑
Retention of a failed IUP for an extended period =   Missed Ab; AKA blighted ovum, anembryonic pregnancy; uterus < EGA, loss of PG sx. Cervix is firm & closed  
🗑
Missed Ab complication   DIC can occur in 2nd trimester if missed AB >6 weeks  
🗑
SAB: U/S dx   Absence cardiac activity when CRL >5 mm; absent fetal pole when sac >18 mm(TVS) or >25 (AbUS)  
🗑
Ominous sx of SAB   FHR <100; abnormal yolk sac; large subchorionic hematoma  
🗑
Leading PG COD in 1st trimester:   Ectopic PG  
🗑
Ectopic RF   High: tubal surg; IUD. Moderate: infxn; infertility; multiple partners. Low: smoking; hx of abd/pelvic surgery  
🗑
Ectopic PG: most common site   98% fallopian tube (most often ampulla). Unusual location assoc w/ART  
🗑
___% of women are asymptomatic with ectopic pregnancy before tubal rupture   50%  
🗑
Ectopic sx   PG/SAB sx; shoulder pain; if rupture: lightheaded, shock; urge to defecate  
🗑
Ectopic: tx   Salpingostomy. Salpingectomy if ruptured. TxOC: lap surg. Methotrexate only if bHCG <5000, ectopic mass <3.5cm, no fetal Ht tones & no folate supplementation  
🗑
GTN (gestational trophoblastic neoplasia) spectrum   Malignant: invasive mole, choriocarcinoma; PSTT (placental site trophoblastic tumor). Benign: hydatidiform mole (complete/partial molar PG)  
🗑
GTN tx   D&C; methotrexate, other CTx if malignant; follow w/serial hCG  
🗑
Painless cervical changes (dilation) that occur in the second trimester and result in recurrent PTL / pregnancy loss =   Cervical insufficiency  
🗑
Cervical insufficiency: congenital factors   short cervix (PTD risk x10 if 22 mm); mullerian or collagen abnormalities; FH  
🗑
Cervical insufficiency: non-congenital risk factors   Trauma (cervical lac, LEEP, bx); high relaxin; DES exposure; prior Ab  
🗑
Cervical insufficiency: sx   Gradual painless cervical dilatation and effacement. Vaginal fullness, pressure, spotting. Watery/ mucus/ brown discharge. Abd/back pain  
🗑
Cervical insufficiency: tx   Bed rest; 17alpha-hydroxyprogesterone IM weekly; indomethacin; steroids at week 24-34 (prevent PTL comps); cerclage  
🗑
SAB defn   expulsion of all or part of products of conception before week 20 (50% of all PG)  
🗑
Complete Ab defn   expulsion of entire conceptus by 20 weeks. Cervical os is closed. Uterus small & nontender.  
🗑
Incomplete Ab defn   Passage of part of POC. Retained tissue. Profuse continuous bleeding. Boggy uterus & dilated os.  
🗑
Incomplete Ab mgmt   D&E. Pitocin. RhIG PRN. Tissue to pathology.  
🗑
Pelvic US for threatened abortion   Abnormal gestational sac, small embryo with low HR: suggests probable loss of PG  
🗑
Missed abortion mgmt   1st trimester: suction curettage. 2nd: D&E or induction of labor with PGE2 or misoprostol.  
🗑
Workup for recurrent miscarriage (3+ consecutive spontaneous PG losses)   Imaging for structural defects. Endometrial bx. Luteal phase progesterone (check for luteal phase defects). PCOS eval. Labs for antiphospholipid syndrome.  
🗑
Recurrent miscarriage mgmt   LPD (progesterone). Metformin if PCOS. If APS: anticoagulation.  
🗑
Ectopic PG mgmt   Serial HCGs. TVUS. ?laparoscopy.  
🗑
Pregnant + rash, post-auricular or occipital LAD   Rubella; Give vaccine AFTER delivery  
🗑
most common cause of ectopic PG   tubal occlusion 2/2 adhesions  
🗑
Dx of PTL   Pelvic exam (+/- bimanual, if PPROM is ruled out): cervical dilatation >3cm & 80% effacement. TVUS: cervical length <20mm  
🗑
PTL is unlikely diagnosis if exam shows:   Cervical dilatation <3cm & <80% effacement. TVUS: cervical length >30mm  
🗑
Hyperemesis gravidarum workup   Follow weight. UA for ketones. Lytes, LFTs, CBC, TFTs. US.  
🗑
Inevitable abortion definition   vaginal bleeding, open cervical os, no passage of tissue  
🗑
