Study Notes
Childbirth and Pregnancy Complications
- Evaluation of amniotic fluid with TACO: time, amount, color, odor; risk of infection if ruptured for over 24 hours
- Cardinal movements: necessary adjustments of the fetus for birth process, including turning and shoulder delivery
- Stages of labor: second (pushing), third (birth of baby to placenta), and fourth (placenta delivery to maternal stabilization)
- Monitoring vital signs and post-procedure assessments after childbirth
- Anesthesia options such as nitrous oxide for pain management during labor
- Daily fetal movement count for monitoring fetal oxygenation
- Diagnostic tests including ultrasound, MRI, and amniocentesis for fetal health assessment
- Gestational diabetes: implications for fetus, risk factors, and potential complications
- Infections related to increased glucose in urine and altered carbohydrate metabolism
- Complications such as hydramnios (excess amniotic fluid) and ketoacidosis due to hyperglycemia
- Risks and implications of macrosomia (excessive fetal growth) and neonatal hypoglycemia
- Use of nonstress tests for fetal heart rate monitoring during contractions and assessment of fetal well-being
