obesity
persistant glucose in urine
previous unexplained still birth or misscarriage
previous infant >4000g

what is the normal screening schedule to check if mom has developed gestational diabetes
Definition
24-28 wks glucose screen
if positive..
1h GTT screen
if positive...
3h GTT screen
Term
how does a GTT screen work
Definition
1 hour: 50g glucose challenge with no glucose preperation with sampling at 1 hour post challenge

3h: 100g fasting glucose challenge at 1, 2, 3h if they have 2 or more abnormal values their diagnosed if any one of the 3 is over 300 their diagnosed

when can you deliver a baby from a diabetic mother vaginally 2
Definition
when diabetes isnt severe
baby is stable, wait for maturity
Term
when should you deliver a baby from a diabetic mother c-section 2
Definition
severe diabetes
fetus isnt stable (positive CST/BPP, IUGR, PIH)
macrosomia >4500g (offer C section)

how can you judge fetal lung maturity 7
Definition
amniocentesis
lenth of gestation
L/S ratio
phosphatidylglycerol
shake test/foal stability test
lamellar body counts
FLM (flourescence test)
Term
how does amniocentesis judge lung maturity
Definition
needle under ultrasound guidance aspirates amniotic fluid
Term
what are the week markers for judging lung maturity
Definition
24 wk alveolar sacs develop
type II pneumocytes develop after. they secrete lechtin then phospadylglycerol surfactants
Term
how can L/S ratio tell you lung maturity
Definition
23-33 wks lechtin and sphingomyelin are equal
35 wks lechtin:sphingomyelin is 2:1 and risk of respiratory distress drops
Term
what L/S ratio do we say a fetus of a diabitc mom should have before delivery
Definition
2.5 - 3
higher because development of surfactant is delayed
Term
how does phosphatidylglycerol tell you about lung maturity
Definition
sign of advanced fetal lung maturity so pesence is good
blood and meconium do NOT interfere with determination
Term
explain the shake test for lung maturity
Definition
ethanol + amniotic fluid + surfactant --> foam

ethanol + amniotic fluid --> no foam

value 47 means mature
Term
how does lamellar body counts signify maturity
Definition
30,000-50,000 packages of surfactant means mature
Term
how does FLM indicate maturity
Definition
measures ratio of surfactant:albumin
55 or greater indicates maturity
Term
define shoulder dystocia
Definition
fetal shoulder stuck behind mom's symphysis
Term
risk factors for shoulder dystosia 5
Definition
macosomia: majority in diabetes
post-datism: bigger babies
males: broader shoulders
maternal obesity: more soft tissue in way
second stage labor disorders
Term
effects of shoulder dystosia on the baby, risks
Definition
brachial plexus injury most common 95% (erbs palsy C5-6) (waitor's tip)

risk of permanent injury is about 0.3-1%
>4000g 10% chance
>4500g 30% chance
<4000g 50% chance!
Term
7 fixes for shoulder dystosia
Definition
McRoberts maneuver: hyperflexion of legs brings both pelvus inlet/outlet into a more ventral portion

rotate anterior shoulder to oblique lie

woods/corckscrew: rotate posterior shoulder 180deg pass under pubic rami, as it rotates anterior it should come out

follow posterior arm to elbow, arm then flexed and swept out over infants chest and delivered over posterior perineum, rotation of the trunk beinging the posterior arm anterior may be required

fracture of clavivle or humerus

symphsiotimy: cut pubic syphysis

zavanelli maneuver: fetal head placed in vagina in flexed position and c section done
Term
why do babies of diabetic mothers often get neonatal hypoglycemia
Definition
maternal DM > increases placenta glucosa > increases fetal pancreas insulin production > glucose load is gone once baby leaves placenta > insulin still made in pancreas > hypoglycemia
Term
other than hypoglycemia, what do you need to watch out for in neonates of diabetic mothers 2
Definition
hyperbilirubinemia
hypocalcemia
Term
what are mom's new insulin requirments after she givs birth
Definition
drops 50% immediatly when placenta and its hormones are gone
gestational diabetics should have glucose tolerance screen
