Cards

Term
IUGR
Definition
  • best described as decreased rate of fetal growth
  • weight at or below 10% for a given gestational age
Term
3-7%
Definition

Percentage of pregnancies complicated

by IUGR?

Term
  • antepartum death
  • perinatal asphyxia
  • neonatal morbidity
  • later developmental problems
Definition
IUGR babies are at greater risk of what?
Term

six to ten fold

depending on severity

Definition
mortality of an IUGR baby is increased by what?
Term
  • hx of previous IUGR baby
  • signigicant maternal hypertension and/or smoking
  • presence of uterine anomaly
  • significant placental hemorrhage
Definition
maternal factors to IUGR are:
Term

decreased fundal height and fetal motion

Definition
clinical signs of IUGR:
Term

Grade 3 placenta before 36weeks or decreased placental thickness

<15mm

Definition
Key IUGR sonographic marker:
Term
  • low genetic growth ptential
  • intrauterine infection
  • severe maternal malnutrition
  • fetal alcohol syndrome
  • chromosomal anomaly
  • severe congenital anomaly
Definition
Causes of symmetric IUGR:
Term
asymmetric IUGR
Definition
More common form of iUGR
Term
late in the second or third trimester
Definition
Asymmetric IUGR begins when?
Term
in first trimester
Definition
symmetric IUGR results when?
Term
placental insufficiency
Definition
Asymmetric IUGR is caused by what?
Term
Asymmetric IUGR
Definition
characterized by an appropriate BPD and HC and a disproportionately small AC
Term

 

Abdominal circumference

(AC)

Definition
single most sensitive indicator of IUGR
Term
adipose tissue
Definition
AC is affected secondary to what in Asymmetric IUGR?
Term
liver - depletion of glycogen storage
Definition
What is most severely affected organ in IUGR?
Term
oligohydramnios
Definition

Occurs if fetus cannot urinate

Not enough fluid

Term
Polyhydramnios
Definition

Develops if fetus cannot swallow

Too much fluid

Term
1-2cm
Definition
fluid pocket less than what may represent IUGR?
Term
below 10th percentile
Definition

below what percentile is highly predictive

 of IUGR?

Term
IUGR, fetal renal anomalies, rupture of intrauterine membrances, and postdate pregnancy

Low AFI measure what?
Term
greater than 22 cm
Definition
High AFI measures what?
Term
36 weeks

Grade 3 placenta prior to how many weeks is an indicator of IUGR?
Term
Grade 0
Definition
What grade of placenta is determined by no breaks and is homogeneous texture?
Term
Grade 1
Definition
What grade of placenta is determined by breaks in chorionic plate?
Term
grade 2
Definition
what grade of placenta is determined by calcifications and breaks partway?
Term
grade 3
Definition
What grade of placenta is determined by cloud appearance?
Term
36 weeks
Definition
Grade 3 placenta is normal after how many weeks?
Term
  • fetal breathing movement
  • gross body movement
  • fetal tone
  • amniotic fluid index
Definition
Biophysical Profile is determined by:
Term
one episode for 30 sec continuous during a 30 min observation
Definition
fetal breathing movement is determined by what?
Term

at least 3 discrete body or limb movements

30 min, continuous movement is counted as one movement

Definition
gross body movement is determined by what?
Term
at least one episode of active extension and flexion
Definition
 what determines fetal tone?
Term

one pocket of amniotic fluid at least 2 cm in two perpendicular planes

or

AFI total fluid measures between 5 and 22 cm

Definition
How to determine amniotic fluid index?
Term
  • at least two episodes of fetal heart rate accelerations of 15 beats per min or more
  • accelerations lasting at least 15 sec

 

Definition

Non- stress test

(40 min)
