🗑
part of maternal serum quad test   Estriol (tests looking for trisomy/Down syndrome)  
🗑
Current hCG test is what type test:   monoclonal Ab  
🗑
Urine hCG tests may be negative even when:   serum test is positive  
🗑
hCG high:   PG, ectopic, molar pregnancy, choriocarcinoma, germ cell tumors, hepatomas, lymphoma  
🗑
hCG low:   threatened or incomplete abortion, fetal demise  
🗑
Half life of hCG:   3-7 days  
🗑
Grp B Strep bacteruria indicates:   Heavy colonization  
🗑
Seen in babies born to mothers on AZT for HIV:   Lower WBC counts & macrocytic anemia (will resolve over time)  
🗑
If PG pt is pos for HBSAg:   check acute/chronic (HBcAb,LFT); test partner, if neg, vax  
🗑
Hep E antigen: increased risk of:   infectivity (vertical trans in maternal chronic Hep B)  
🗑
When do you screen with 1 hour glucose   At 24-28 weeks in patients >25 or family history of DM or Ethnic risk; if >130, do 3 hr GTT  
🗑
HbA1C can predict the risk for __ when measured in the first trimester   Malformation; otherwise HbA1c not recommended to screen for GDM  
🗑
optimal fasting glucose in pregnancy   70-95  
🗑
optimal 1-hr postprandial glucose value during pregnancy   Less than 140  
🗑
optimal 2-hr postprandial glucose value during pregnancy   Less than 120  
🗑
Proteinuria in preeclampsia =   Urinary excretion of >/= 0.3g protein in a 24 hr urine, usually correlates with 1+ or greater on dipstick  
🗑
transvaginal scan: gestational sac visible at:   4.5 - 5 wks  
🗑
transvaginal scan: fetal pole w/cardiac activity visible at:   5.5 - 6 wks  
🗑
Spont Abortion: U/S dx   Absence cardiac activity when crown-rump length (CRL) >5 mm; absent fetal pole when sac >18 mm(TVS) or >25 (AbUS)  
🗑
The fetal fibronectin test has a high __ value in predicting delivery within the next 14 days   Negative predictive  
🗑
What is the best tool we have right now to determine patients not at risk for imminent delivery   Fetal fibronectin and cervical length  
🗑
1st tri: low PAPP-A (PG-assoc plasma pro A) & low free HCG may signify:   trisomy 21 or other genetic dz  
🗑
amniocentesis indication   10-13 wks if NTD risk  
🗑
US for nuchal translucency & CVS: indications   performed at 10-13 wks if: mom >35, FH or prior PG w/chromo abnl, abnl quad screen; CVS/amnio if nuchal fold abnl  
🗑
quad screen   in 2nd trimester for trisomy 21 & 13 & NTD; HCG, AFP, uE3 (unconjugated estriol), inhibin A (DIA)  
🗑
normal (reactive) non stress test:   Done in 3rd trimester. 2 accelerations of FHT (of 15 bpm), lasting 15 sec, within 20 min  
🗑
3rd trimester: biophysical profile (BPP) components   NST, amniotic fluid level, gross fetal movements, fetal tone, fetal breathing; best score=10  
🗑
ectopic PG studies   bHCG (s/b double q 48 hr; poss ectopic if less); TVUS should show intrauterine gestation if bHCG >1500  
🗑
snowstorm pattern (or grapelike vesicles) on US =   complete hydatidiform mole  
🗑
complete hydatidiform mole: HCG:   often >10,000 mU/mL  
🗑
US & placental abruption vs placenta previa   Placenta previa: US is TOC; abruption: US not reliable (dx is clinical)  
🗑
Kleihauer-Betke test   detects presence of fetal RBCs in maternal circulation  
🗑
Tests for fetal anemia   High bili in amniotic fluid. US of middle cerebral artery for peak velocity: increase in flow 2/2 decreased viscosity in anemia. PUBS for HCT  
🗑

🗑
Triple screen   at 15-18 weeks to assess risk for Down, trisomy 13 & 18  
🗑
Prenatal diagnostic studies   Triple screen, AFP, HCG, PG-associated protein A, US, amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling for DNA eval, PUBS, fetal blood sampling  
🗑
Placental abruption dx studies   Pelvis US of fetus, placenta, uterus. FHM & tocometry (may show hypertonic contractions w/elevated baseline). Coag studies  
🗑
Elevated AFP is associated with:   neural tube defects  
🗑
