A Patient state she has had 1 elective abortion and 2 miscarriages and most recently she has delivered a baby at 35 weeks GA and baby is doing well.
What is the correct Gravida and Para to write on her ultrasound?

G 4 P 0 1 3 1
A patient has been pregnant 4 times. Her Gravida and Para would read as
G 4 P 0 0 4 0
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
*LMP
*Fundal Height
*BHCG

Sonographic Parameters
* GS
*CRL
*BPD,HC,AC,FL
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
See picture question 9 on page 4
Complete Breech
See picture question 10 on page 4
Vertex or Cephalic
See picture question 11 pg 4

What is the most common fetal position?
Vertex 95 %
When might an external version be attempted by a physician?
When fetus is in a Frank Breech position.

(note) determine placental location and measure amniotic fluid
Situs or correct positioning of the fetal organs can be determined if the sonographer knows the fetal________.

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.
Where is the cerebral spinal fluid produced?
Choroid Plexus
