Question 1
1-Thrombophilia ...... effects on pregnancy ?
2- Give 10 indications for laporoscope in OBS/Gyne ?
Answers :-
1- The contact between placenta and maternal circulation is crucial for the
success of pregnancy. Pro-thrombotic changes and thrombosis may interfere
with these processes leading to adverse pregnancy outcomes at any gestational
age preeclampsia, IUGR, placental abruption and some cases of fetal loss and
preterm labor .
2- it is used as therapeutic or diagnostic lap. Tubal sterilization, adhesiolysis, tt
of endometriosis, cystectomy, ectopic tt, hystrectomy, myeomectomy, ovarian
procedures, investigation for recurrent abortions,
Question 2
You are in your clinic , you have a pt complaining of a missed period, she tells
you that she is 8 wks pregnant :
1- what do you ask 4 booking ? (He wants you to start with Hx (detailed), P/E,
investigations )
Answers :-
Focused hX
- obs hx about LMP, EDD, PTL, PROM, IUGR, fetal death, macrosomic baby,
congenital anomalies, PP, PA, PET, GDM, PPH, DVT
-Gyne hx about fibroids, PID, endometriosis, OCP, Lactation, STD medical hx
about DM, HTN, SLE, DVT, thyroid..
surgical, social, past medical hx
Question 3
Answers:-
1- The ectocervix (more distal, by the vagina) is composed of nonkeratinized
stratified squamous epithelium. The endocervix (more proximal, within the
uterus) is composed of simple columnar epithelium.The area adjacent to the
border of the endocervix and ectocervix is known as the transformation zone.
The vagina is St. Seq no keratinized
2- under good privacy the pnt is in lithiotomy position, bivalve speculum is used
to open the canal and then we have 2 methods to take samples:-
a. Conventional Pap—In a conventional Pap smear, samples are smeared
directly onto a microscope slide after collection.
b. Liquid based cytology—The Pap smear sample is put in a bottle of
preservative for transport to the laboratory, where it is then smeared on
the slide.
3- the labor still in progress and the pt. at the 3rd stage of labor, so it is managed
by active management of the 3rd stage of labor, giving oxytocine, and
controlled cord traction.
Question 4
Answers :-
1- Composition includes a combination of an oestrogen and progestogen
-MOA: Progestogen negative feedback decreases the pulse frequency of
gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) release by the hypothalamus, which
decreases the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and greatly
decreases the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) by the anterior pituitary.
Decreased levels of FSH inhibit follicular development, preventing an increase
in estradiol levels. Progestogen negative feedback and the lack of estrogen
positive feedback on LH release prevent a mid-cycle LH surge. Inhibition of
follicular development and the absence of a LH surge prevent ovulation.
A secondary mechanisms of action of all progestogen-containing contraceptives
is inhibition of sperm penetration reduce the likelihood of implantation
Question 5
1- Types of abortion ?
2- how to differentiate complete from incomplete ?
3- management of incomplete ?
4- complications ?
Answers :-
1. threatened, missed , complete, inevitable , incomplete, septic
2. mainly by hx and exam.
in INCOMPLETE : of passing of some product of conception, severe
lower abdominal pain after bleeding, poor general condition dilated
cervix, uterine size correct or small of GA.
in COMPLETE: heavy vag, bleeding that has STOPPED MIN FATRA..
lower abd pain that has STOPPED MIN FATRA,, passage of all
conception.. with closed cervix and SMALL uterus for GA.. U.S shows
empty uterus
3. management of incomplete, CBC, blood grouping cross matching, resuscitate
the prn, oxytocin or ergometrin, Evacuation and curettage, post abortion
management
4. hemorrhage, complications of D&C, rh iso immunization, psychological
trauma
Question 6
Answers:-
1- partogram
2- is a pre-labour scoring system to assist in predicting whether induction of
labour will be required, and its' parameters are:
Cervical dilation
Cervical effacement
Cervical consistency
Cervical position
Fetal station
3- the term fetal distress refers to the presence of signs in a pregnant woman
that suggest that the baby will be born unwell.
4- Early Deceleration: usually symmetrical, gradual decrease and return of the
FHR associated with a uterine contraction. A gradual FHR decrease is defined
as one from the onset to the FHR nadir of greater than or equal to 30 seconds. In
most cases the onset, and recovery of the deceleration are coincident with the
beginning, peak, and ending of the contraction, respectively . Physiological
cause
Late Deceleration: usually symmetrical gradual decrease and return of the FHR
associated with a uterine contraction. The deceleration is delayed in timing,
with the deceleration occurring after the peak of the contraction. In most cases,
the onset, nadir, and recovery of the deceleration occur after the beginning,
peak, and ending of the contraction, respectively. Due to uteroplacental
insufficiency
Variable Deceleration: abrupt decrease in FHR. The decrease in FHR is
greater than or equal to 15 beats per minute, lasting greater than or equal to 15
seconds, and less than 2 minutes in duration. When variable decelerations are
associated with uterine contractions, their onset, depth, and duration commonly
vary with successive uterine contractions.Due to cord compression
5- fully dilated > Instrumental delivery
not fully dilated > C/S
Question 7
Dysmenorrhea primary/secondary :
1- Difference between primary and secondary dysmenorrhea ?
2- Treatment ?
Answers:-
1.
Primary dysmenorrhea Secondary dysmenorrhea
-Onset within 6 months after -Onset in 20s or 30s, after relatively
menarche painless menstrual cycles in the past
-Lower abdominal/pelvic pain -Infertility
begins with onset of menses and -Heavy menstrual flow or irregular
lasts 8-72 hours -Low back pain bleeding
-Medial/anterior thigh pain -Dyspareunia
-Headache -Vaginal discharge
-Diarrhea -Pain may not be relieved by
-Nausea/vomiting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs)
** Risk factors for Primary
dysmenorrhea ** Risk factors for Secondary
Early age at menarche (< 12 y) dysmenorrhea
Nulliparity Fibroids
Heavy or prolonged menstrual flow Pelvic inflammatory disease
Smoking Tubo-ovarian abscess
Positive family history Ovarian torsion
Obesity Ovarian cysts
Endometriosis
Adenomyosis
Intrauterine device
2. For primary, we start with NSAIDs, secondary we can use Hormonal therapy,
Question 8
DVT in pregnancy :
1- DVT and heparin use ?
2- When to stop and convert on warfarin ?
Answers:
1- Long term therapy by Heparin :-Maintenance dose ( Best given by SC route -
the best is LMWH ,if not available HMWH can be used.
LMWH ; eg Clexane 40mg/once daily
HMWH ; 5000IU /twice daily
-As prophylaxis for thromboembolism during pregnancy
2- we use LMWH, in acute phase and during pregnancy in maintenance if it
occurred during pregnancy, but if after pregnancy for maintenance ,we can use
either warfarin or LMWH
In 36wks we stop warfarin and then continue with HMWH
Important .........Is either by subcutaneous heparin in maintenance dose or by
oral warfarin.
The best is :
If thromboembolism occurs during pregnancy – the best after acute phase
therapy for 2-3 months, is to give S/C heparin in the maintenance dose for the
rest of pregnancy ( in order to avoid side effects of warfarin during pregnancy)
& for 12 weeks postpartum of either S/C heparin or warfarin.
If thromboembolism occurs after delivery – S/C heparin in therapeutic dose for
4 weeks, then either S/C heparin in maintenance dose or oral warfarin , for 3
months.
Question 9
Answers :-
1- bishop score
2- dinoprostone (PG E2) or misoprostol
3- Cervidil, prostin E2, >> for PG E2 Cytotec>> for misoprostol
4- 0.5 to 2.0 mu/min, increments of 1.0 mu/min to doubling of the dose,
intervals of every 30 to 60 minutes, and a maximum dose ranging from 16
mu/min to 40 mu/min
5- they wanted ovarian torsion, ovarian cysts complications, pelvic
inflammatory disease, ectopic pregnancy and appendicitis
6- CBC, B HCG, Ultrasound, Urine analysis.
7- ultrasound helps in detecting cystic findings, pregnancy confirmation, renal
disorders, it is cheap, non invasive, with good specificity and sensitivity.

Methylergonovine IM

✓ Surgical evacuation
✓ Search for the bleeding artery & ligation
(absorbable continuous interlocking stitch )

separation

removal

✓ Immediate IV volume expansion with crystalloid (pt rapidly goes
into shock)

replaced, give oxytocin infusion
