3
Q

Alcohol–>
Marijuana–>

Tobacco–>

A
  • ->FAS with distinct facies and neuro-behavioral-cognitive issues

4
Q

Estimating gestational age

A

Measure fundal height, compare to established norms and compare to EGA based on LMP - if fundal height is consistent with 6 month gestation but LMP consistent with 8 month, may have IUGR

5
Q

IUGR vs SGA and types of IUGR

A

IURG - has not reached growth potential at given gestational age due to 1+ causative factors, noted in pregnancy
-Asymmetric IUGR aka head sparing - abdomen decreased relative to head, VS symmetric IUGR where both head and abdomen are decreased proportionately
SGA - definitions range from <10%ile for weight, dx at birth
Thus all IUGR are SGA but not all SGA are IUGR

6
Q

TORCH

A
Toxoplasmosis
Other - transplacental including HIV, HepB, parvovirus, syphilis) 
Rubella

—>macrosomia

8
Q

When to give intrapartum abx for GBS

A
  • active labor w/ ruptured membranes for >= 18h
  • GBS bacteria during any part of this pregnancy
  • Fever >38/100.4
  • Previous GBS+ infant
    • intrapartum NAAT
  • 38/100.4, + intrapartum NAAT, amniotic membrane rupture for >= 18 h
9
Q

breast feeding in AIDS

A

3 ARV drugs before delivery, during and while breastfeeding help reduce transmission while breastfeeding

10
Q

What drug and what delivery method reduces vertical AIDS transmission

A

Zidovudine - ideally before labor starts

11

A

Gestational age assessment tool that uses physical and NM maturity to estimate age

14
Q

A

born after 37 weeks

15
Q

microcephalic

A

head circumference below 10th percentile for gestational age

16
Q

Problems in SGA infants

A
Hypothermia
Hypoglycemia
Hypergylcemia
Intrauteruine death
Asphyxia
Meconium aspiration
Persistent pulmonary hypertension
GI perforation
Polycythemia/hyperviscosity
ARF
Immunodeficiency
17
Q
Rooting
Sucking
Moro
Palmar/plantar
Asymmetric tonic neck
Stepping
A

Rooting: Turns head towards your finger if you touch cheek
Sucking: sucks finger if you touch roof of mouth
Moro: drop baby’s head a few cm–>he will flex his legs, fan and then clench fingers, throw arms out and then bring them together in an embrace
Palmar/plantar: will grasp your hand if you stroke palmar or plantar surface of hand/foot
Asymmetric tonic neck: turn baby’s head to one side which causes extension of arm in direction of gaze and flexion of other arm
Stepping: hold baby vertically and stroke dorusm of foot on table edge –>stepping

18
Q

3 causes of LOSS of red reflex (besides RB)

A

opacified cornea like in MPS, cataract, anterior chamber inflammation

19
Q

Infant spleens

A

SPLEEN often palpable 1-2 cm below left costal margin

20
Q

most likely dx in infant with HSM, purpuric rash and microcephaly

A

TORCH infection - especially consider if prenatal STI exposure/risk

21
Q

Which hepatitis marker does not predict risk for vertical HepB transmission?

A

HepB CORE Ab

22
Q

Testing for rubella in baby

A

IgM or IgG, but difficulty after 1 year of age

23
Q

Testing for toxo in baby

A

IgM, IgG, or IgA positive assay in neonatal period, rising IgG in year 1 or persistently positive IgG after this

24
Q

Testing for CMV in baby

A

Virus shed in urine and saliva - test this. PCR is not specifically advantageous here. Dx within first 3 weeks of life = congenital CMV

25
Q

Normal BS in infant

A

> 45mg/dL

26
Q

meds routinely given to newborns

A

Vit K, hep B vaccine, tetracycline or erythromycin or silver nitrate eye drops to prevent gonoccal conjunctivitis (chlyamdial occurs 7-14 days after birth and can’t be prophylaxed)

27
Q

CMV symptoms

A

microcephaly, purpuric rash, HSM, calcifications in brain, smooth (too few gyri) in brain (lissencephaly or agyria/patchygyria), enlarged ventricles, jaundice, chorioretinitis, hearing loss (progressive), developmental delay
-non neuro things resolve within weeks

28
Q

tx CMV

A

parenteral ganciclovir or oral valganciclovir

breastfeeding indications and contraindications

A
indications = until 6 months, and then with addition of other things until 12 months. 8-12x/day
contra= HIV, active untreated TB, galactosemic infants, active drug abuse by mom
30
