True

*uterine rupture risk goes down though with elective c/s

55
Q

Spinal block after failed epidural is a risk factor for _____

a high spinal

  • you usually bolus the epidural, but volume in the epidural space can displace your spinal meds higher
  • Brennan
56
Q

Bupivacaine is highly protein bound and high pKa of 8.1, which results in (high/low) placental transfer

low

high pKa = more [ionized] drug, which does not easily cross the placenta

57
Q

Two important determinants of local anesthetic placental transfer

  1. degree of ionization at physiological pH
    - more ionized, less placental transfer
  2. amt of protein binding
    - more protein bound, less placental transfer
58
Q

These drug characteristics _______ maternal to placental transfer

  • Ionized
  • High protein binding
  • Low free drug fraction
  • Charged
A

decrease

59
Q

These drug characteristics _______ maternal to placental transfer

  • Unionized
  • Low protein binding
  • High free drug fraction
  • Uncharged
A

Increase

60
Q

“______” refers to fetal drug accumulation d/t pH differences btwn maternal and fetal blood, particular in cases of fetal acidosis

A

Ion trapping

61
Q

Since fetal blood pH is less than maternal blood pH, most of the drug will exist in (ionized/nonionized) forms in fetal circulation, and does not readily transfer back across the placenta to the maternal circulation

A

ionized

62
Q

Amniotic fluid embolism leads to intense pulmonary vasospasm, and typically involves ______ shock and ______ coagulopathy. WHich can lead to fetal bradycardia and distress.

A

cardiogenic (RHF), consumptive

63
Q

A

tocolytics through uterine muscle relaxation

64
Q

_____ is the most sensitive presenting sx of uterine rupture. Anesthetic management is ____

A

  • Emergent ETGA
65
Q

A

ADH

Normal saline

67

- can worsen hypercalcemia

68
Q
