Q

What is included and discussed in consent for medical abortion

A
  1. MA involves using drugs to end pregnancy
  2. Mifeprostine 200mg oral and misoprostol 800mcg vaginally are as effective as SA before 49d after LMP, and highly effective up to 70d after LMP
  3. MA is irreversible but does not eliminate the need for SA. If ongoing pregnancy then SA if recommended.
  4. Must have access to medical care for 7-14d after medication taken
  5. Risks include: bleeding, cramping/pelvic pain, GI upset, headaches, fevers/chills, pelvic/lower gential infection, mortality is 0.3 per 100 000 usually from infection or undiagnosed ectopic.

Q

Options for cervical ripening

A
  • Intracervical/Intravaginal PGE Prepidil 0.5mg q6-12h up to 3 doses - do not use in VBAC
  • Foley catheter (increased need for oxytocin, can use in VBAC, slower than PGE)

25
Etiology of labour dystocia
Power - leading cause, inadequate maternal effort, poor contractions Passenger - fetal position, size, anomalies Passage - pelvic structure, maternal soft tissue factors Psyche - psyche, anxiety, pain
26
Approach to non-reassuring fetal heart rate
Fetal tracing Call fo help LLD position 100% O2 Stop oxytocin Correct low BP Fetal scalp monitor R/o cord prolapase Look for causes ?infection ?drugs
27
What to rule out with variable decelerations
60s (severe): <60bpm, <60bpm from baseline, >60 with slow return to baseline
28
What is placental abruption
Premature separation of placenta after 20w
29
