Study Notes
Violence Against Women
-
Signs and Symptoms: Physical abuse includes bruises, fractures, burns, and head injuries. Emotional abuse includes anxiety, depression, PTSD, and low self-esteem. Pregnancy-related issues include preterm labor, low birth weight, and frequent UTIs/STIs.
-
Appropriate Screening Techniques: Use a trauma-informed approach. Routine screening should be conducted during prenatal visits, privately. Screening tools include HITS (Hurt, Insult, Threaten, Scream) and Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS). Document injuries and statements.
Chronic Conditions
-
Diabetes and Testing: Screening includes A1C, fasting blood glucose, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
-
Complications: Macrosomia, birth trauma, neonatal hypoglycemia, and stillbirth are potential complications.
-
Management: Insulin use, glucose monitoring, and lifestyle changes are crucial. Risk factors include obesity, PCOS, and family history of diabetes.
-
Gestational Diabetes and Diet: Screening is done at 24-28 weeks using a 1-hour glucose challenge test and a 3-hour OGTT if positive. Dietary management focuses on low glycemic index foods, carbohydrate counting, and high fiber intake. Potential complications include fetal macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, and preeclampsia.
-
Infections: Rubella, CMV, GBS, and HIV are considered.
Pregnancy-Related Complications
-
High-Risk Pregnancy Risk Factors: Maternal factors include advanced maternal age, obesity, diabetes, HTN, and substance use. Fetal factors include IUGR, multiple gestation, and genetic abnormalities.
-
Miscarriage: Differentiate between threatened, inevitable, incomplete, and complete miscarriages. Treatment options range from expectant management to medical and surgical approaches (D&C).
-
Molar Pregnancy: Hydatidiform mole is a benign tumor of trophoblasts.
-
Other Complications: Include Rubella (congenital rubella syndrome), CMV (microcephaly, hepatosplenomegaly, developmental delay), GBS (intrapartum penicillin treatment), HIV (breastfeeding avoidance and ART therapy), cardiac conditions (pre-existing conditions, peripartum cardiomyopathy), and anemia (iron deficiency, folic acid deficiency, sickle cell).
Etopic Pregnancy
- Signs: Implatation outside of the usual uterus location (most often the fallopian tube). Typical signs to look for are unilateral pelvic pain, vaginal bleeding, and referred shoulder pain.
- Management: Treatment may involve methotrexate if the situation is stable, surgery if the situation becomes unstable.
- Hyperemesis gravidarum: Severe nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy. Management may include IV fluids, antiemetics (ondansetron, promethazine), and small frequent meals.
Cervical Insufficiency/Cerclage
- Signs: Painless cervical dilation predisposing to preterm labor.
- Management: Cerclage placement is a common treatment. This procedure involves surgically placing a stitch to keep the cervix closed. This procedure is usually done before labor begins, and then is removed later.
Placenta Previa
- Signs: Placenta covering the cervix causes painless bright red bleeding.
- Management: No vaginal exams, bed rest, and C-section are typical management approaches.
Placental Abruption
- Signs: Premature separation of the placenta. It will cause painful bleeding and typically firm abdomen.
- Management: Emergency C-section, if severe.
Gestational HTN, Pre-eclampsia, Eclampsia, HELLP
- Gestational HTN: Hypertension (BP >140/90) after 20 weeks, no proteinuria.
- Preeclampsia: Hypertension and proteinuria.
- Eclampsia: Preeclampsia with seizures.
- HELLP: Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets. Associated with RUQ pain, liver failure, and DIC risk.
Labor Complications
- Cord Prolapse: Umbilical cord emerges before the baby. Emergency intervention needed.
- Shoulder Dystocia: Baby's shoulder gets stuck under the pubic bone. Management includes McRoberts maneuver, suprapubic pressure.
- Induction/Augmentation: Methods: Pitocin, cervical ripening agents. Risks: Uterine tachysystole, fetal distress.
- Preterm Labor/Postterm Delivery: Preterm labor: Contractions before 37 weeks → treatment with tocolytics (nifedipine, terbutaline).
- Postterm Delivery: Delivery after 42 weeks of gestation. Risk of macrosomia and meconium aspiration.
- Forceps/Vacuum Delivery: Indications include prolonged second stage, fetal distress. Complications include facial nerve injury (forceps), cephalohematoma (vacuum).
- Amnioinfusion: Used for issues such as cord compression and thick meconium. Risks include uterine overdistension.
- Amniotic Fluid Embolism: Sudden respiratory distress, hypotension, DIC. Treatment is supporting oxygen, fluids and CPR if needed.
- Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC): Risks include uterine rupture; Contraindicated in cases of classical uterine incision.
- Precipitous Delivery: Labor < 3 hours, risk of maternal perineal trauma, fetal distress. Bishop Score is used to assess readiness for induction.
- Uterine Rupture: Complete uterine wall tear with fetal distress, maternal shock; Emergency C-section required.
- Hypotonic Labor: Weak contractions; treat with oxytocin augmentation.
- Hypertonic Labor: Frequent, painful contractions → potential risk of fetal distress.
