About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Antenatal Care”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about antenatal care (ANC), the medical care provided to pregnant women during their pregnancy. It includes a series of healthcare interventions and consultations that aim to monitor and promote the health and wellbeing of both the mother and her unborn baby. Antenatal care is an essential component of maternal and child health and is critical for preventing, detecting and managing potential health problems during pregnancy.

Antenatal care typically involves regular visits to a healthcare provider, such as an obstetrician, midwife, or family doctor, throughout the course of pregnancy. During these visits, the healthcare provider will monitor the progress of the pregnancy, including the growth and development of the fetus, and provide advice and support to the mother regarding diet, exercise, and other aspects of prenatal health.

The goal of antenatal care is to promote a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery for both the mother and her baby. Regular antenatal care can help to identify and manage any potential health problems early on, reducing the risk of complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

Fetal kick count The pregnant woman reports at least 10 movements in 12 hours. Absence of fetal movements precedes intrauterine fetal death by 48 hours.
Slide 10-

Physical Examinations Height of over 150 cm indication of an average-sized pelvis The approximate weight gain during pregnancy is 12 kg.; 2kg in the first 20 weeks and 10 kg in the remaining 20 weeks (1.5 kg per week until term).
Slide 11-

Symphysis–fundal height should be measured and recorded at each antenatal appointment from 24 weeks. Fetal presentation should be assessed by abdominal palpation at 36 weeks.

Screening
Slide 33-

Asymptomatic Bacteriuria Women should be offered routine screening for asymptomatic bacteriuria by midstream urine culture early in pregnancy. Identification and treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria reduces the risk of pyelonephritis.
Slide 34-

Gestational age assessment New Pregnant women should be offered an early ultrasound scan between 10 weeks 0 days and 13 weeks 6 days to determine gestational age and to detect multiple pregnancies. New Crown–rump length measurement should be used to determine gestational age. If the crown–rump length is above 84 mm, the gestational age should be estimated using head circumference.
Slide 35-

Screening for fetal anomalies New The 'combined test' (nuchal translucency, beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A) should be offered to screen for Down's syndrome between 11 weeks 0 days and 13 weeks 6 days.
Slide 36-

For women who book later in pregnancy the most clinically and cost-effective serum screening test (triple or quadruple test) should be offered between 15 weeks 0 days and 20 weeks 0 days.

Slide 41-

Blood grouping and red-cell alloantibodies Women should be offered testing for blood group and rhesus D status in early pregnancy. To give anti-D at 28 weeks and post delivery if the baby (+)
Slide 42-

Hepatitis B virus Serological screening for hepatitis B virus should be offered to pregnant women so that effective postnatal interventions can be offered to infected women to decrease the risk of mother-to-child transmission.
