5 Modern Obstetrics
This is a preview. There are 36 more flashcards available for chapter 5
Show more cards here -
What are the 4 aspects of foetal health that modern obstetrics allow doctors to monitor?
Foetal heart rate, urine, blood acidity, oxygen and uterine contractions of the mother -
What are the 3 groups that modern obstetric tests fall into?
Foetal heart rate monitoring
ultrasound foetal heart rate monitoring
Foetal blood sampling -
Foetal Heart Rate Monitoring encompasses 2 monitoring techniques. What are they called and what are their subgroups if they have any?
Auscultation
Cardiotocography (CTG) → External EFM & Internal EFM -
What are the names of the 4 Ultrasound based Foetal heart rate monitoring techniques?
Biophysical profile
Foetal growth assessment
Vascular doppler studies
Amniotic fluid volume -
How do you conduct auscultation fetal heart rate monitoring and by which gestational stage is it common practice to routinely do an auscultation?
Place a doppler transducer on the abdominal wall of the mother to pick up the sound of the fetus heart
From 20 weeks -
Which specific 5 instances in time does the doctor want to record with the doppler transducer when conducting an auscultation?
60s during contraction
30s after contraction
15-30 mins in the 1st ½ of labour
5 mins in the 2nd ½ of labour -
Cardiotocography (CTG) picks up the baby heart rate response to what event?
Uterine contractions, to see how the baby's heart responds to the physical stress of each contraction -
What are the components to an internal and external EFM CTG’s and how are they conducted?
Components to aninternal EFM =electrodes &internal pressure catheter Internal EFM process =records FHR viaECG fromfoetal scalp electrodes ,Internal pressure catheter indicatesstrength ofcontractions +timing Components to an external EFM = ultrasound transducer & pressure sensitive toco transducer
External EFM process = ultrasound transducer placed on maternal abdomen measures baby heart rate, tocotransducer placed on the fundus picks up timing of uterine contractions not strength -
When is it suitable to do internal and external EFM CTG’s and what is the special condition for internal EFM and why?
External and Internal = ante-natally & in labour
But for internal the cervix has to be dilated > than 2-3cm and membranes have to be erupted because electrodes will be placed on baby's head -
In what two instances (one setup and one unfortunate) can CTG give off wrong results
Electrodes placed on cervix
Baby has died

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
