organ dysfunction.
HELLP Syndrome - ANSWER-Severe preeclampsia variant: Hemolysis,
Elevated Liver enzymes, Low Platelets.
TORCH Infections - ANSWER-Congenital infections (Toxoplasmosis,
Other, Rubella, CMV, Herpes) crossing the placenta.

anomalies and IUGR.
Polyhydramnios - ANSWER-High amniotic fluid; associated with
diabetes and GI atresias.
Biophysical Profile (BPP) - ANSWER-Prenatal test scoring breathing,
movement, tone, fluid, and NST.
Abruptio Placentae - ANSWER-Painful bleeding and rigid uterus from
premature placental separation.
Placenta Previa - ANSWER-Painless bright-red bleeding; placenta
implanted over or near cervical os.
Cord Prolapse - ANSWER-Umbilical cord descends ahead of the fetus;
causes acute compression.

important intervention in neonatal resuscitation.
MR SOPA - ANSWER-Ordered sequence of ventilation corrective steps
when chest doesn't move.

breaths if HR <60.
Epinephrine - ANSWER-Vasopressor given for persistent bradycardia
<60 despite effective ventilation.
