  1. Antenatal Care DR. Yasir Katib MBBS, FRCSC Perinatologest

  2. Antenatal care (ANC) goals and strategy • Explain the components and objectives of prenatal goals • Describe the frequency and aim of each prenatal visit • Genetic counseling and its available tools • Risks and benefits of the genetic tests

  3. ANC Objectives To ensure the birth of a healthy baby with minimal risk for the mother by • Early, accurate estimation of GA • Identification of the patient at risk for complications • Ongoing evaluation of the health status of both mother and fetus • Anticipation of problems and intervention, if possible, to prevent or minimize morbidity • Patient education and communication

  4. ANC • Prenatal care is not a single intervention • “Quantity" Vs. “Quality" of ANC • A systematic review of observational studies and randomized trials concluded that there was no conclusive evidence that prenatal care improved birth outcomes • Randomized trials have also shown that enhanced prenatal care did not result in improved outcomes compared to routine prenatal care

  5. ANC Components • HISTORY • PHYSICAL EXAMINATION • LABORATORY TESTS • DIAGNOSTIC IMIGING • PATIENT EDUCATION • MEDICATIONS

  6. HISTORY • Personal and demographic information • Current pregnancy history (dating) • Past obstetrical history (time, place, GA, complications, sex, weight& currant status) • Personal and family medical history • Past surgical history • Genetic history • Menstrual and gynecological history • Psychosocial information

  7. Physical examination A complete physical examination Specially… • Uterine size and shape • Evaluation of the adenexea • Baseline blood pressure, weight, and height

  8. LABORATORY TESTS1st visit • A standard panel of laboratory tests (Routine) • CBC • Blood gp & antibodies screen • HbS Ag • Rubella • VDRL • Urine C&S • Cervical PAP smear

  9. LABORATORY TESTS1st visit • In high risk population • Chlamydia swab • HIV • TFT

  10. LABORATORY TESTSothers • N. gonorrhea • TB • Toxoplasmosis • HCV • BV • Others HB electrophoresis, cystic fibrosis, phenylalanine level …etc

  11. Follow-up visits • Major goals (PET, malpresentation) Components • Wt, B/P, SPH, FH auscultation, FM, lie, presentation • Patient’s concerns • Education • Risk identifications

  12. Presentation & lie

  13. Follow-up visits Uncomplicated pregnancies • Every 4 weeks until 28 wks • Every 2 to 3 weeks from 28 to 36 wks • Weekly until delivery

  14. Follow-up visits Laboratory follow-up • GDM screening at 24-28 wks • CBC & antibodies screen • GBS screening (recto-vaginal swab) at 35-37 wks

  15. DIAGNOSTIC IMIGING Ultrasound • Minimum requirement • Usefulness • Limitations Others • MRI

  16. 1st Trimester U/S • Confirm pregnancy • Viability • Assess GA (Dating) • Multiple gestations (chorionicity / amnionicity) • Maternal pelvic anomalies AIUM Standards and Guidelines

  17. 2nd Trimester U/S Fetal normality: • • Head shape and size and internal structures (cavum pellucidum, cerebellum, ventricular size at atrium < 10 mm) • • Spine: longitudinal and transverse • • Abdominal shape and content at level of stomach • • Abdominal shape and content at level of kidneys and umbilicus • • Renal pelvis < 5 mm anterior–posterior measurement • • Longitudinal axis abdominal–thoracic appearance (diaphragm and bladder) • • Thorax at level of a four-chamber cardiac view • • Arms: three bones and hand (not counting fingers) • • Legs: three bones and foot (not counting toes)

  18. VALUE OF PRENATAL GENETIC DIAGNOSIS:Why do we do it? • Reassurance • Increases options • Antenatal fetal treatment • Preparation for outcome • Avoidance of obstetric complications • Selective termination

  19. Maternal age-based screening Rationale 70% 30% 1/200 risk of miscarriage 1/200 chance of abnormality = =

  22. Prenatal Screening Modalities

  23. Screening at 11-20 wks 10 12 14 16 18 20 wks • Allows adjustment of age-related risk • Improved detection rate Courtesy Dr J Johnson and the Fetal Medicine Foundation

  24. A-Non-invasive prenatal diagnostic tests • Nuchal Screen • Nuchal plus biochemistry • Maternal Serum Screen • Ultrasound

  26. Nuchal Translucency • Gestation 11-14 wks • CRL 45-84 mm • Mid-sagittal view • Image size >75% • Neutral position • Away from amnion • Maximum lucency • Calipers on-to-on Courtesy Dr J Johnson and the Fetal Medicine Foundation

  27. Significance of increased nuchal fluid • Chromosome abnormalities • Birth defects (cardiac, d.hernia) • Genetic syndromes • Increased mortality (> 3.5 mm) Courtesy Dr J Johnson and the Fetal Medicine Foundation

  28. Pathophysiology of increased nuchal translucency • Abnormal or delayed lymphatic development • Venous congestion • Cardiac failure • Altered composition of extracellular matrix • Failure of lymphatic drainage due to fetal hypokinesia • Fetal anemia or hypoproteinemia • Congenital infection • Courtesy Dr J Johnson and the Fetal Medicine Foundation

  29. First Trimester Biochemical Markers 2- • PAPP-A: Pregnancy associated plasma protein A • Produced by placental trophoblast • Increases in 10-14 week period • Lower in DS pregnancies (0.43 MOM) • Associated with 42 % DR at 5% FPR. • Free - hCg: Free  subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin. • Placental protein • Decreases in T1 like total hGC • Higher in DS pregnancies (1.79 MOM) • Associated with 23% DR at 5% FPR • Courtesy Dr J Johnson and the Fetal Medicine Foundation

  30. Detection Rate 89% 100 72% 80 60% % 60 30% 40 20 0 Age ßhCG PAPP-A Age Age NT All ßhCG PAPP-A Screening at 11-14 wks Fetal NT + Maternal age + ßhCG + PAPP-A at 11-14 wks Invasive Testing 5% • Courtesy Dr J Johnson and the Fetal Medicine Foundation

  31. 3- Maternal Serum Screen • Three biochemical markers • BHCG • AFP • Estriol • Gives age adjusted risk • Screens for Down’s and NTD • 15-20 wks

  32. MSS 0 1/1 1/378 Risk = age X OR BHCG X OR uE3 X OR AFP

  33. MSS Limitations • Sensitivity 70 % • Specificity 95% ( False positive 5%) Two reasons for a false positive: • Wrong dates • Twins

  34. 4- Ultrasound • Ultrasound screening(detailed scan) • 18-20 weeks

  35. B- INVASIVE TECHNIQUES FOR EARLY PRENATAL TESTING • Chorionic Villus Sampling • Amniocentesis

  36. Amniocentisis http://wchs.health.wa.gov.au/health/a/amnio.htm

  37. Amniocentisis • Performed at or more 15 weeks • Takes 2-3 weeks for Karyotype • Pregnancy loss risk 1/200 • Can get result of trisomies 13,18,21 and Turners Syndrome X0 in 48 hours with FISH (Florescent Insitu Hybridization)

  38. Chorionic Villus Sampling • Performed at 10-14 weeks • Takes 2-3 weeks for the result • Pregnancy loss rate 1/100 • Operator experience important • Link to limb abnormalities (still controversial) • Placental mosaicism up to 3%, but little effect on outcome

  39. Post Test • A standard panel of laboratory tests (Routine) dose not include • Rubella • TFT • VDRL • Urine C&S • Cervical PAP smear

  40. Post Test First trimister scan does not include • Fetal morphology • Viability • Assess GA (Dating) • Multiple gestations (chorionicity / amnionicity) • Maternal pelvic anomalies

  41. Post Test Which of the following is not a cause for an abnormal MSS • Down’s syndrome • IUFD • Twins • Wrong dates • Congenital heart disease

  42. Post Test A false positive on the MSS occurs in 1/20 tests • True • False

  43. Post Test List Two advantages of Amniocentesis over CVS • Decreased miscarriage rate • Lower risk of mosaicism • No association with limb reductions

  44. Post test Which of the following tests is the best at detecting Down’s Syndrome • MSS • Nuchal • Nuchal plus PAPP A and Free BHCG

  45. Post Test What is the miscarriage rate with amniocentesis? • 0.5% • 3% • 5% • 10%

  46. Post Test List one advantage of CVS over amniocentesis • Early results
