Content preview

BSNC 5000 - OB


Uteroplacental movement
- uterine arterial blood supply proven at proper
- both the ovarian and uterine arteries supply the myometrium
- spiral arteries elongate as the endometrium cyclically thickens to accommodate the possibility
of implantation of a blastocyst


Intervillous space
- the space within the placenta wherein maternal blood bathes chorionic villi, permitting the
change of substances between the fetal and maternal circulations.

Divided into three parts:
- arterial move
- circulate inside the intervillous area
- venous drainage


Hemodynamics of uteroplacental flow
Volume of placental blood glide - 600-700mL/min

Pressure in providing uterine artery - 80-a hundred mmHg

Pressure in spiral arteries - 70mmHg

Pressure in draining uterine vein - 10mmHg


Maternal intravascular volume changes
- plasma extent increases by up to 1L

- upward push in #rbc/blood volume but to lesser volume (placental lactogen stimulates
production of erythropoietin)

- dilutional hole reasons physiological anemia


Blood strain exchange in everyday pregnancy
- progesterone relaxes smooth muscle inside the wall of blood vessels

, - relaxin will increase systemic arterial compliance (vasodilation) to reduce peripheral resistance

- decreases the effective circulating extent (same quantity however larger area to fill)

- results of vasodilation:
•non-osmotic launch of vasopressin/ADH
•activation of SNS and RAAS increases plasma volume for adequate organ perfusion


Maternal cardiovascular changes
- increasing volume -> increase in preload -> expanded contractility.

- lower in vascular resistance reduces afterload which will increase cardiac output via nearly
50% thereby growing the performance of the coronary heart.


Risk of thrombosis in the course of pregnancy
- growth in clotting factors will increase risk of thrombosis about 2x
- platelet rely decreases as being pregnant progresses
- diulutional outcomes
- sequestering in the intervillous areas of the placenta


Postpartum danger of thrombosis
- returns to normal 6-eight weeks postpartum
- risk of thrombosis will increase five.5x in postpartum length on the grounds that platelets are
not sequestered via placenta


Basal metabolic price for the duration of pregnancy
- will increase by using approximately 14% over time period of pregnancy

- causes an boom in oxygen intake as pregnancy progresses to deal with growth in nutrients
and energy use via both mother and fetus


Pulmonary characteristic for the duration of being pregnant
- boom in Tidal Volume (from 450mL/min to 650mL/min) *

- expiratory reserve quantity decreases **

- blended with rise in oxygen consumption, this lowers the oxygen reserve of mom

- slight dyspnea due to 4cm elevation of diaphragm
