Cardiac output increases in pregnancy related to Increased stroke volume in 1st 1/2 of pregnancy and increase in stroke volume and HR in 2nd 1/2 of pregnancy (actually SVR also decreases...so..CO = HR x SVR)
Does SVR increase or decrease during pregnancy Decreases
Why does SVR decrease during pregnancy (4 of them) Increase in prostacyclin, progesterone, low resistance pilacental circulation, and blood viscosity

How many mls of blood in non pregnant and pregnant non = 4000ml, preg = 5700 (400ml more RBC and 1300ml more of plasma)
Since blood plasma increases by up to 50% and RBCs increases to 45 %, what is happening to the viscosity - what is that called Blood viscosity is thinner, called "Physiologic Anemia of Pregnancy" (lower count of RBCs to total volmue)
In the late 3rd trimester what happens with RBCs and blood plasma RBCs continue to increase while plasma starts to decrease
Hemaglobin concentration should remain above what % in mom 12 g%
Since RBCs #s are increasing rapidly, are they microcytic or macrocytic Macrocytic because of O2 demand("increasing" has nothing to do with it)
Average mls blood loss for C section 500-1000 mls
Average mls blood loss for vaginal delivery 300-500 mls
When in 2nd stage (lithotomy position) and contracting, what happens to CO and stroke volume They decrease (stroke volume decreases significantly)

When supine the fetus compresses the mom's aorta and vena cava against what causing decrease flow The vessle are compressed between the fetus and the bodies of the vertabraes
Name the 2 components of the phenomenon of "Aortocaval Compression" 1)Inferior vena cava compression (after 24 wks causes alternative circulation (= Azygos vein/Paravertebral system) and Compensatory increase in sympathetic tone and HR) and 2) Second component includes: Aortoiliac obstruction, Arterial side compression..
The second component of "Aortocaval Compression" include (congradulations if "1st and 2nd Components" make sence to you) Aortiliac obstruction, Arterial side compression, No maternal symptoms, Placental blood flow decreases, and femoral flow vs brachial flow (?)
Of a 30-60-90 degree triangle wedge jammed under mom to prevent aortocaval compression, which angle always touches the bed 30% ( in summary, thats the angle mom should be tilted when supine)
What role does regional anesthesia have on aortocaval compression syndrome It exaggerates it (so decrease regional dose)
What do epidurals cause with regaurdss to Aortocaval compression Venous engorgement
The hypercoagulable state of blood during pregnancy is related to ALL Blood Factors except which two (per slide 65..66 says diff) XI and XIII (slide 66 says they ARE involved)
In pregnancy is fibrinolysis increased or decreased It is enhanced
Mendelson's Syndrome is also called Pulmonary Aspiration Pneumonitis
Mendelson's Recommendations (regarding aspiration - 5 of them) Witholding food during labor (holding on to fork and knife during contractions not wise), Greater use of regional anesthesia, Administration of antacids, Emptying of stomach prior to general anesthesia, competent general anesthesia administration
Shirley/Roberts defined what risk greater than 25 ml (or 0.4ml/kg) with pH less than 2.5 in the stomach at delivery (and stop calling me Shirley)
In 1980 when Roberts offered Shirley an antacid with particulates what was her responce Shirley told Roberts that not good, she wanted Bicitra (no particulates) and that he needed Binaca
When do GI physiologic and anatomic changes start to take place in pregnancy Mid-first trimester (8wks)
When do GI physiologic and anatomic changes start to return to normal from pregnancy 1 1/2 months after delivery
How do you treat a lady who is 8 wks gestation to 6 wks post partum Hold her with both hand and groan aloud, don't take her swimming, and don't push on her --Treat her like a full stomach
What are the two most important risk factor related to aspiration after 8 wks gestation Delayed gastric emptying (increased gastric content)and increased acidity (lower pH)
What extrogenous nursing actions contribute to delayed gastric emptying Giving narcotics (decreasing peristalsis)
Does pain decrease gastric emptying Yes
Why can't an anatomical displaced, 8 wk gestational lower esophagus pass the CRNA board exam It's Incompetent

How much more does a pregnant uterus weigh over a nonpregnant uterus Almost 20 times as much (1100g vs 70g)
The ovarian, uterine, and vaginal arteries all come from what artery Hypogastric artery
What artery does the ovarian artey directly branch off of The uterine artery (the uterine artey comes directly off of the hypogastric artery)
What 2 arteries precede the Azygos artery Uterine artery than hypogastric artery
In the "steal" phenomenon, what artery has a decrease blood flow in in turns increases the blood flow of the uterine and common iliac arteries External iliac artery is being stolen from
Factors that decrease uterine blood flow (5 of them) Uterine contractions, hypertonus, hypotension, hypertension, vasoconstriction (endogenous and exogenous - most sympathomimetics alpha adrenergic)
Does ephedrine constrict uterine arteries Not in the pregnant uterus, but yes in the non-pregnant uterous (pregnancy releases a uterine artery vasodilator)
What is the mechanism that prevents ephedrine from constricting uterine arteries Estrogen produces the endothelium's ability to synthesize the vasodilator nitric oxide (this does not take place in the peripheral vessels)
A lower pH in the fetus after using ephedrine and not phenylephrin is because of Phenylephrine is only alpha, ephedrine is alpha and beta - beta increases metabolism (increase HR and contraction)
Name the cavities and tissue layers from the fetus to the outer wall of the uterus Amniotic cavity, Amnion, Placenta, Chorion, Uterine cavity,Lining of the uterus (endometrium), and Muscle layer of the uterine wall
Name three major functions of the placenta Produces hormones to sustain pregnancy, protects the fetus from the maternal immune system, allows for active and passive transport of nutrients and metabolites
Name four types fo transport mechanisms through a membrane Passive, active, Facilitated and pinocytosis
