Biometry +/- BPP at 24-28 weeks AOG Clinical Pearl: 75 grams OGTT is done at 24-28 weeks AOG because human placental lactogen (HPL) is produced during this time. HPL has growth hormone-like action and causes insulin resistance, lipolysis, and increased fatty acids. Clinical Pearl: Biophysical profile (BPP) is done at 24-28 weeks AOG because pregnancies with severe complications require early testing. (In general, testing begins at 32-34 weeks AOG,) At less than 24 weeks AOG, the examiner might not be able to appreciate well all the components of the BPP. Biometry, on the other hand, can be done anytime. os ta» ll. 10 Danger Signs of Pregnancy FH 1. Headache Blurring of Vision Prolonged vomiting Fever Nondependent edema oReN 6. Epigastric/RUQ pain 7.

Dinoprostone 26 1. FIRST STAGE ¢ Starts when painful contractions become regular (5 minutes apart for 1 hour, i.e. 12 contractions per hour) e Ends with cervical dilatation Inothers, labor initiation is heralded by “bloody show” — spontaneous release of blood-tinged mucus plug from the cervical canal ¢ Contractions are painful possibly because of: co Hypoxia of the myometrium © Compression of the nerve ganglia © Cervical stretching during dilatation © Stretching of peritoneum overlying fundus ¢ Ferguson reflex: mechanical stretching of the cervix enhances uterine activity e Interval between contractions diminishes gradually from approximately 10 minutes Distinct upper and lower uterine segments > physiological retraction ring e When the thinning of the lower uterine segment is extreme as in obstructed labor, the ring is prominent > pathological retraction ring (of Bandl) © Elongation of the ovoid uterus > increased fetal axis pressure -> straightens the fetal vertebral column 2. SECOND STAGE ¢ Begins with complete cervical dilatation (10 cm) « Ends with fetal delivery ¢ Uterine contraction averages from 30-90 seconds, averaging around 1 minute. Interval between contractions is around 1 minute or less. ¢ The most important force in fetal expulsion is produced by matemal intraabdominal pressure. « Station describes descent of the fetal biparietal diameter in relation to a line drawn between two maternal ischial spines 27 3.

Contracted midpelvis (BSD < 8cm) © Suspicious: <10cm e Inferred: o Prominent ischial spine o Convergent pelvic sidewall o Narrow sacroiliac notch c. Contracted pelvic outlet (BTD < 8) 2 Often associated with midpelvis contraction d. Narrow pelvis (pubic arch < 90°) 3. PASSANGER: Abnormal presentation, position and development of the fetus: fetopelvic disproportion a Excessive fetal size (macrosomia is >4000g in GDM; of morbidity) 33 Transverse lie (conversion can occur in <39 weeks) Compound presentation Persistent occiput posterior position Persistent occiput transverse position Hydrocephalus Fetal abdomen as a cause of dystocia ¢ Hydrops fetalis © Wilm’s tumor [ree re Clinical Pearl: Fetal size alone is seldom a suitable explanation of Qs failed labor. Other factors must be considered. Clinical Pearl: Asynclitism is the lateral deflection of the sagittal suture, posteriorly toward the sacral promontory or anteriorly toward the symphysis pubis. ANTERIOR ASYNCLITISM: sagittal suture approaches the sacral promontory and the anterior parietal bone presents itself on the examiner's fingers. (@e~ Warning! There is a difference between cephalopelvic disproportion wy (CPD) and fetopelvic disproportion (FPD). CPD happens when the problem is the pelvis (“maliit ang sipit-sipitan’). This is usually diagnosed during the first pregnancy. This is important because this may be an ‘ indication for CS delivery and a contraindication for VBAC. FPD, on the other hand, happens when the problem is a macrosomic fetus such as in GDM. This is usually diagnosed when there is dystocia on a tested pelvis.

Whatis the patient's medical problem? History? Diagnosis? Prognosis? Is the problem acute? Chronic? Critical? Emergent? Reversible? What are the goals of treatment? What are the probabilities of success? What are the plans in case of therapeutic failure? In sum, how can this patient be benefited by medical and nursing care and how can harm be avoided? Sawer Patient Preferences ‘Principle of Respect for Autonomy’ 1. |s the patient mentally capable and legally competent? Is there evidence of incapacity? 2. If competent, what is the patient stating about preferences for treatment? 3. Has the patient been informed of benefits and risks, understood this information, and given consent? 4, If incapacitated, who is the appropriate surrogate? Is the surrogate using appropriate standards for decision making? 162 5, 6. i. Has the patient expressed prior preferences, e.g. Advanced Directives? Is the patient unwilling or unable to cooperate with medical treatment? If so, why? In sum, is the patient's right to choose being respected to the extent possible in ethics and law? Quality of Life ‘Principles of Beneficence and Nonmaleficence and Respect for Autonomy’ ls 2: 3, 4, 5. 6. What are the prospects, with or without treatment, for a return to normal life? What physical, mental, and social deficits is the patient likely to experience if treatment succeeds? Are there biases that might prejudice the provider's evaluation of the patient's quality of life? Is the patient's present or future condition such that his or her continued life might be judged undesirable? Is there any plan and rationale to forgo treatment? Are there plans for comfort and palliative care? Contextual Features ‘Principles of Loyalty and Fairness/Justice’ 1 id CONOR Are there family issues that might influence treatment decisions? Are there provider (physicians and nurses) issues that might influence treatment decisions? Are there financial and economic factors? Are there religious or cultural factors? Are there limits on confidentiality? Are there problems of allocations of resources? How does the law affect treatment decisions? |s clinical research or teaching involved? Is there any conflict or interest on the part of the providers or the institution? 163 OTHER PRINCIPLES IN BIOETHICS Inviolability of Human life = Physicians are in the unconditional service of life, as the Hippocratic oath proclaims, “he shall never poison anyone” = Atthe personal level, all men are fundamentally equal. mune of Totality Prinicple which rules the conduct of man in the stewardship of the use and integrity of his body (e.g. in issues of mutilation) = “The good of the parts is essentially subordinate to the good of the whole” = Three conditions must be met: 1. That such organ, by its deterioration in function, may cause damage to the whole organism or at least pose a serious threat to it 2. That there be no other way than taking the indicated action against it of obtaning the desired good result 3. That the damage being avoided to the whole be proportional to that which is caused by the mutilation Conscientious objection = In the refusal of a specific therapy which is adjudged immoral, the decision of the patient should be respected. (e.g. blood transfusion in Adventists) Professional Secret «= Refers to the duty of medical personnel not to divulge the secrets of patients which they have come to know in the exercise of their profession « — “Professional” secret, unlike a private secret, pertains to public order or the common good. The common good limits the sphere of secrecy (2.9. desire to hurt oneself, desire to hurt others) Principle of Double Effect = — Explains the permissibility of an action that causes serious harm = Four conditions must be met: < 1. The act itself must be morally good or at least indifferent 2. The physician may not positively will the bad effect but may permit it 3. The good effect must be a result of the action, not of the bad effect. Otherwise, the physician would be using a bad means to a good end. 4, The good effect must be sufficiently desirable to compensate for the allowing of the bad effect 165 Callahan and Caughey. (2013).
