|
The patient in question # 2, is considered to be a ______para felmale.
|
NULLIPARA
|
|
List all parameters used to assess pregnancy dating, (clinical and routine sonographic.)
|
CLINICAL FINDINGS

|
Define supine hypotensive syndrome (SHS).
|
A condition that occurs when a large, heavy gravid uterus compresses the IVC.
As a result, venous return to heart is diminished, therefore, BP is lowered. |
|
List symptoms of SHS
|
faint
light headed sweaty nauseous If supine hypotention goes undetected, the patient can pass out. |
|
How a fetal position determined at the beginning of an ultrasound study?
|
By beginning the scan in the sagittal midline image
|
|
What can be done to relieve or prevent SHS?
|
change pt position (left side is usually best)
Ways to prevent this from happening the sonographer can... * place wedge/pillow under the pts rt side to relieve the pressure on IVC * Bring table up to a semi-reclining position to elevate the torso. |
|
When might an external version be attempted by a physician?
|
If baby is in Frank Breech position.
Note: also determine placenta location and measure amniotic fluid |

What structures are seen at the level of the BPD?
|
Thalmus
Cavum Septum Pellucidum Falx (ml echo) |
|
Describe how to take a BPD measurement.
|
Measure outer skull (in the near field) to the inner skull (in the far field) at the widest part of the head (through the thalmus).
|
|
The abdominal circumference is useful in assessing fetal growth because_________
|
Main storage for glucose and very sensitive to growth disturbances
|
|
How do you measure the femur length?
|
from the greater trochanter to the external condyle. Include only ossified diaphysis,exclude femoral head.
Ends of femur should be distinct and blunt. Measure the femur that is the most anterior. |
|
What "pitfalls" does the sonographer need to be aware of when measuring a correct femur length?
|
1.Over estimation occurs by measuring the femoral head or distal femoral epiphysis.
2. Under estimation can result from incorrect orientation and not obtaining the full length of the bone. |
|
The cephalic index will be out of normal range of the head is too ______or too _______.
|
Oblong or Round
|
|
The estimated fetal weight is only an _____of actual weight and can be in error of +/- ______lbs or +/- 10 %.
|
estimated , 1 lb
|
|
Why would a sonographer place the pt in the Trendelenburg position?
|
To encourage the fetal head to move out of the maternal pelvis.
