Hypophyseal artery Pars nervosa of the neurohypophysis Adenohypophysis or indirectly influence hypothalamic, pituitary, and ovarian functions in relation to the ovulatory cycle, particularly in the pathologic state of chronic hyper prolactinemia (see Chapter 32). GONADOTROPIN SECRETORY PATTERNS A normal ovulatory cycle can be divided into a follicular and a luteal phase (Figure 4-2). The follicular phase begins with the onset of menses and culminates in the preovulatory surge of LH. The
Free arachidonic acid does not accumulate. Labor appears to be accompanied by a cascade of events in the chorion, amnion, and decidua that releases arachidonic acid from its stored form and converts it to active prostaglandins. 17β-Estradiol Arachidonic acid Glycerol Chapter 5 Endocrinology of Pregnancy and Parturition Fatty acid Phosphate Ethanolamine PHOSPHATIDYL ETHANOLAMINE Phospholipase A2 ARACHIDONIC ACID Cyclooxygenase PROSTAGLANDINS THROMBOXANES PROSTACYCLIN 53 changes in the

Such abnormalities include fetal wastage and intrauterine fetal growth restriction, malformations due to abnormal growth and morphogenesis, fetal endocrine disruption, and abnormal central nervous system performance. It was not until the teratogenic effects of rubella infection were demonstrated

Facilities have had safety programs in place since the early 1900s, but these programs have traditionally focused on emergency preparedness, environmental safety, security, and infection control. The term patient safety, meaning avoidance of medical error, was first coined by the American Society of Anesthesiologists in 1984 when they inaugurated the Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation to give
general anesthesia. General anesthesia carries a 16-fold higher risk of anesthesia-related maternal mortality compared with regional anesthesia (Table 8-7). Parturients have a higher risk for airway complications than nonpregnant patients because they have (1) an 8 times higher chance of failed intubation, (2) a 60% increased oxygen consumption, (3) a decreased functional residual capacity (FRC) resulting in a lower oxygen store, and (4) an increased risk for aspiration.
