A&P of Pregnancy
This hormone, secreted by the placenta, maintains the uterine lining during pregnancy.
Progesterone
Sudden onset of painless, bright red vaginal bleeding in the third trimester is often indicative of this condition.
Placenta Previa
This is the term for the first stage of labor, during which the cervix dilates and effaces.
The dilation (or latent) stage
This scoring system, assessed at 1 and 5 minutes after birth, evaluates newborns based on appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration.
APGAR score
This is the first thing to do if a baby is born with bad tone or no breathing/crying.
Warm patient, position airway, clear secretions, dry/stimulate
This is the term for the organ through which the fetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother’s blood.
The placenta
A condition of pregnancy characterized by hypertension, edema, and proteinuria.
Preeclampsia
The three identifiable stages of labor are dilation, delivery of the fetus, and this.
Delivery of the placenta
A baby is considered premature if it is delivered prior to this amount of weeks into gestation.
37 weeks
If a newborn’s heart rate is below 100 beats per minute, you should begin this intervention.
Positive-pressure ventilation (PPV)
By the third trimester, maternal blood volume increases by approximately this percentage to support fetal circulation and prepare for blood loss at delivery.
30-50%
This life-threatening complication involves premature separation of the placenta from the uterine wall.
Abruptio Placentae
In a normal breech presentation, this part of the fetus typically delivers first.
The buttocks or feet
The normal heart rate for a newborn immediately after birth is generally above this threshold in beats per minute.
100 bpm
If the newborn’s heart rate is below 60 beats per minute despite adequate ventilation, this intervention is indicated.
Chest compressions
This fluid-filled sac cushions and protects the fetus throughout the pregnancy.
The amniotic sac
A severe complication presenting with generalized tonic-clonic seizures in a pregnant patient with hypertension
Eclampsia
This term describes the thinning and shortening of the cervix during the first stage of labor.
Effacement
In a fetus, most blood pumped by the heart bypasses the nonfunctional respiratory system through this anatomical structure.
Ductus arteriosus
This is the medication that is considered if the patient's heart rate remains below 60/min despite good chest compressions.
Epinephrine
A structure that transports blood rich in oxygen and nutrients from the placenta to the fetus.
Umbilical Vein
his condition involves the implantation of the fertilized egg outside the uterine cavity, often in a fallopian tube
Ectopic Pregnancy
This is the position to place the mother if a prolapsed cord occurs.
Trendelenburg or knee-chest position
This is the physical description of acrocyanosis in newborns.
Cyanosis of the extremities
This is the compression to ventilation ratio in neonatal resuscitation.
3:1 (90 compressions and 30 breaths/min)
