◉What does amniocentesis test for?. Answer: genetic abnormalities
◉What is looked at for amniocentesis?. Answer: AFP (alpha
fetoprotein)
LS Ratio (lecithin sphingomyelin ratio)
◉If levels of afp are high, then it is associated with:. Answer: neural
tube defects
◉If levels of afp are low, then it is associated with:. Answer:
chromosomal disorders (Down syndrome)
◉What does LS ratio test for?. Answer: fetal lung maturity
,◉Risks associated with amniocentesis:. Answer: amniotic fluid
embolism, hemorrhage, infection, laking of amniotic fluid, ruptured
membranes, or miscarriage
◉When can Chorionic villus sampling be done?. Answer: 10-12 wks
◉What does chorionic villus sampling test for?. Answer: genetic
abnormalities
◉Advantage of chorionic villus sampling as opposed to
amniocentesis. Answer: can be done early to detect the genetic
abnormalities
◉Ectopic pregnancy. Answer: ovum is planted outside the uterus
(often in fallopian tube)
◉Main symptom of an ectopic pregnancy:. Answer: unilateral
stabbing pain and abdominal tenderness in LLQ
◉Molar pregnancy. Answer: proliferation and degeneration of
trophoblastic villi in the placenta
◉Main symptom of molar pregnancy. Answer: bleeding that
resembles prune juice (dark brown)
, ◉Placenta previa. Answer: placenta abnormally implants in the
lower segment of the uterus by the cervix as opposed to near the
fundus
◉Complete placenta previa. Answer: cervix is completely covered by
the placental attachment
◉incomplete/partial placenta previa. Answer: cervix is partially
covered
◉Main symptom of placenta previa:. Answer: painless, bright red
bleeding during 2nd or 3rd trimester
◉Placenta previa vs abruptio placenta. Answer: placenta previa is
painless whereas abruptio placenta is painful
◉abruptio placenta. Answer: premature separation of placenta from
uterus
◉abruptio placenta has high rate of fetal and maternal:. Answer:
mortality and morbidity
