Questão 11
Questão
Unlike anywhere else in the body, [blank_start]oxygen[blank_end] acts as a vasoconstrictor in the ductus arteriosus thus contributing towards its closure following birth.
[blank_start]A reduction[blank_end] in the level of prostaglandins in the blood also contributes towards ductus arteriosus closure following birth
Responda
-
A reduction
-
An increase
-
oxygen
-
nitrogen
-
carbon dioxide
Questão 12
Questão
Oxygen typically acts as a [blank_start]vasodilator[blank_end] in the body's blood vessels
Responda
-
vasodilator
-
vasoconstrictor
Questão 13
Questão
The foramen in the foetal heart allowing right to left shunting of blood via the atria is called the foramen [blank_start]ovale[blank_end]
Questão 14
Questão
Which form of fat is produced in excess by the foetus in the final stages of pregnancy in order to facilitate thermogeneration upon entrance to the world?
Questão 15
Questão
Fat Types:
[blank_start]White fat[blank_end] = Good for energy storage
[blank_start]Brown fat[blank_end] = Good for quick breakdown and energy release (e.g. thermogeneration)
Questão 16
Questão
The fat pad that typically generates between the scapulae of the foetus in late pregnancy typically consists of which type of fat?
[blank_start]Brown[blank_end] fat
Questão 17
Questão
One of the main worries for the baby during late pregnancy/labour/birth is the development of hypoxia. Hypoxia in a foetus would likely lead to ...
Responda
-
Metabolic acidosis
-
Metabolic alkalosis
-
Respiratory acidosis
-
Respiratory alkalosis
Questão 18
Questão
Persistence of the foetal circulation (patent foramen ovale/ductus arteriosus/etc) can lead to the pulmonary vessels not opening properly thus causing persistent pulmonary [blank_start]hypertension[blank_end] of the newborn (PPHN)
Questão 19
Questão
Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn is investigated by measuring the oxygen saturations of the hands and feet.
In a case of PPHN:
The [blank_start]hands[blank_end] will have a near normal O2 saturation
The [blank_start]feet[blank_end] will have an abnormal O2 saturation
Questão 20
Questão
Management of PPHN is via multiple processes, one of which is ventilation using oxygen and which other vasodilating molecule?
[blank_start]Nitric oxide[blank_end]
Questão 21
Questão
Inotropes such as [blank_start]adrenaline[blank_end] are also given in order to raise the [blank_start]systemic[blank_end] blood pressure above the [blank_start]pulmonary[blank_end] pressure thus allowing the blood to force itself into the pulmonary circulation, hopefully solving the problem.
Responda
-
adrenaline
-
oxytocin
-
oxygen
-
magnesium sulphate
-
systemic
-
pulmonary
-
pulmonary
-
systemic
Questão 22
Questão
Transient [blank_start]tachypnoea[blank_end] occurs in infants when there is insufficient clearing of fluid from the foetal lungs
Questão 23
Questão
Neonates typically do not shiver in order to produce heat. Preterm neonates are therefore more likely to become hypothermic due to a lower content of [blank_start]brown fat[blank_end]
Responda
-
brown fat
-
white fat
-
glycogen
Questão 24
Questão
The dark green substance forming the first faeces of a newborn infant is called the [blank_start]meconium[blank_end]
Questão 25
