Ms. Harmons focused review Flashcards

this is what harmon told us to focus on

1
Q

Pulmonary changes in reference to inhalation agents

A

-MV is increased by 50% TV by 40% and RR by 10% the increased MV and decreased FRC => causes rapid increased alveolar concentrations of inhaled anesthestics basically gas uptake is faster!!!

Q

1st stage Pain what type of pain? what causes the pain? what type of nerve fibers? where to the fibers origionate? pain characteristics?

A

-VISCERAL -caused by uterine contractions an ddilation of cervix -Autonomic C fibers -enter the dorsal horn of the spinal cord T10-L1 -dull- aching pain (how to remember For Jake) know the C visCeral pain caused by Contractions and dilation Cervix autonomic C fibers

Q

what is early decelerations? is it normal? what does it indicate?

Q

what is a late deceleration is it normal? what does it indicate? what test is recomended?

Q

what are variable decelerations? they are generally characterized by what? thought to be caused by what? are the bad? how can you fix it?

A
  • variable in magnitude, duration and time of onset - generally characterized by a steep descent of FHR -umbilical cord compression -unless prolonged, they are usually benign - changing maternal position (all caused by compression of the cord)

Q

what is it and what are the 6 defining characteristics?

A

early decelerations have the following characteristics:

  • Occur with each uterine contraction
  • Start and end with the contraction
  • Gradually decrease in rate and then end in a return to baseline
  • Are uniform in appearance
  • Are associated with a mild decrease in FHR (20 bpm or less)
  • Are accompanied by a loss in beat-to-beat variability during the deceleration (Plaus 1112)

Q

what is this and what are the 4 defining characteristics

A

variable decelerations have the following characteristics:

  • Vary in appearance, duration, depth, and shape
  • Demonstrate abrupt onset and recovery
  • Maintain beat-to-beat variability with the deceleration
  • Are classified as severe if the FHR decreases by 60 bpm, if the FHR decreases to less than 60 bpm, or if the decelerations last 60 seconds or longer (Plaus 1112)

Q

what is this and what are it’s 7 defining characteristics

A

late decelerations have the following characteristics:

  • Occur with each uterine contraction
  • Start between 10 and 30 seconds after the uterine contraction
  • Gradually decrease in rate and end in a return to baseline
  • Are uniform in appearance
  • Vary in depth according to the strength of the uterine contraction
  • May or may not be accompanied by beat-to-beat variability
  • Are classified as severe if the FHR decreases by more than 45 bpm

Late decelerations are probably caused by a problem in the uteroplacental interface that results in fetal hypoxia and acidosis. Any late deceleration is a reason for concern. Even small (Plaus 1112)

Q

WHat is this

A

normal beat-to-beat and long-term variability with fetal heart rate (FHR) of 150 to 160 beats per minute (bpm). The distance between the heavy vertical lines represents 60 seconds. The lighter vertical lines are 10 seconds apart (Plaus 1110)
