Assessment and investigations of respiratory disease in pregnancy
History of Present Illness 1.Onset of symptoms in relation in to timing of pregnancy 2. Duration, chronicity , nature and severity of breathlessness. 3.Exercise tolerance specially in relation to day to day activity . 4. Presence / absence of cough , sputum , haemoptysis . 5 .Relief with inhaler 6. Palpitation,Chest pain 7. Weight loss, fever, anorexia , malaise 8. Leg pain, Nasal and sinus problem . 9. Sore throat , arthrelgia and myelgia
Past Medical history 1.Asthma, allergy , hay fever , eczema. Nasal block. 2. TB, previous BCG vaccination , Cystic Fibrosis , Bronchiectasis , other 3. lung disease. Sarcoidosis , Kyphoscoliosis ,Neuromuscular disease 4.Ankylosing Spondylitis , Herat Disease , Recurrent UTI. 5.Malignancy ( breast ), immunosuppression (HIV +ve.) 6.Psychiatric illness. 7.Previous history of Pulmonary embolism , DVT , 8.Thrombophillia . Thyrotoxicosis
Other contributory history Drug History such as NFT , Amioderone , NSAIDs and inhalers. Psychological such as Anxiety or depression . Rx continuing or stopped ? Family History sarcoidosis. Clotting disorder , Asthma , Atopy , Lung cancer , TB , Social History such as Ability to lead normal routine life , specially going to work , climbing stairs , doing house hold work and shopping. Living in travel to high prevalence and contact TB
Physical Examination General appearance as Confusion ,Sweating , tremors, pyrexia , pallor , obesity/ reduced weight , clubbing , cyanosis , lymphadenopathy , BCG vaccination scar , goiter , exophthalmos , lid legging ,edema leg, DVt Cardiovascular Low / high Bp, Raise3d Jugular vein pressure , parasternal heave , gallop rhythm , murmurs , pericardial rub ,hepatomegaly , cardiomegaly , basal crepts
Past Medical history Respiratory as Tachypnoea , accessory muscle use to breath , Kyphoscoliosis , tracheal shift , dullness / resonance to percussion ,Bronchial breathing , Wheeze , crepts , reduced / absent breath sounds at base of lung Breast as any lump / mammography is better. Neurological as muscle wasting , fasciculation's , limb weakness, sensory loss ,cerebral signs if any
Investigations Radiology The accepted cumulative dose of X ray radiation to which fetus can be exposed safely is estimated, ---5 rads. This is equivalent to n71 thousand X rays , or 3o V/Q scan. It can be concluded that , for most of the common tests , exposure to radiation is minimal and lease likely to effect the fetus. In the first instance Xray chest is crucial to reach the diagnosis like pneumonia , pleural effusion , hydro /pneumothorax, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis
