    Infographic Palad Pregnancy

    Uploaded by

    During pregnancy, there are several key physiological changes that occur: 1) Cardiac output increases by 30-40% by 24 weeks gestation due to an initial increase in heart rate of 10-15 beats per minute that plateaus by 28-32 weeks. 2) Colloid osmotic pressure regulation of fluid flux across capillaries is impacted as intra-capillary pressure can exceed opposing plasma colloid pressure, allowing increased fluid shift. 3) Systemic vascular resistance decreases by 20%, likely triggering increased renin-angiotensin-aldosterone to retain sodium and boost plasma volume.

    PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES

    DURING PREGNANCY

    Alexander James Y. Palad


    BSN 2-2

    INCREASE CARDIAC OUTPUT


    Cardiac output increases by 30–40% during pregnancy, and the

    maximum increase is attained around 24 weeks' gestation. 7 The

    increase in heart rate occurs first (by the end of the first month of

    pregnancy) and plateaus at an increase of 10–15 beats per minute by

    28–32 weeks' gestation.

    COLLOID OSMOTIC PRESSURE


    The regulation of fluid flux across capillary membrane is dependent on

    the STARLING's forces. Thus increased fluid shift into the extravascular

    space may occur during pregnancy when the intra-capillary hydrostatic

    pressure exceeds the opposing influence of plasma colloid oncotic

    pressure (COP).

    INCREASE HEART RATE


    Exercise keeps you fit and gives you that much needed endorphin

    rush to make you more pumped to finish work.

    DECREASED SYSTEMIC VASCULAR


    RESISTANCE
    Pregnancy is associated with a 20% decrease in systemic vascular

    resistance (SVR), which likely triggers the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone

    system to retain sodium and increase plasma volume.

    DECREASED HEMOGLOBIN
    CONCENTRATION
    The hemoglobin concentration of pregnant women decreases by 0.15

    g/dl per one unit increase in gravidity [95% CI: 0.09-0.21]. Per one

    year increase in the age of pregnant women, the hemoglobin

    concentration decreases by 0.03 g/dl [95% CI: 0.03-0.04].
