DKA
How does hyperinsulinemia affect lung maturity?
delay production of surfactant
Does BP Change during pregnancy and why?
No!

because increase CO is counterbalanced by a decrease in SVR

Name tocolytic agents?
Ritodrine/terbutaline (B2-agonist)
magnesium
Indomethacin (prostagladin inhibitor)
Nefedipine
What is the only approved tocolytics by the FDA?
Ritodrine
How does Ritodrine work?
increase cAMP --> inc intracellular calcium -- inhibibits myosin light-chain kinase
Side effects of magnesium
Vasodilation / hypotension
Anxiolytic / sedation
Weakness
tocolytics
How does magnesium cause muscle weakness?
1) by inhibiting calcium reuptake and binding

2) by inhibiting the release of Ach
What is the reversal of magnesium?
Calcium
How does Indomethacin affect uterine relaxation?
inhibiting the cyclooxygenase thereby inhibiting production of prostagladin important in uterine contraction
