BUBBLE LE • B: Background and Breasts • U: Uterus • B: Bladder • B: Bowels • L: LOF/Lochia • E: Effacement/Episiotomy • L: Lower Extremities • E: Emotional State
Background • EDD/EDC • Gestational age • Term – 37 weeks to 40 weeks • Late term – 40 weeks to 416/7 weeks • Post term – 42 weeks or greater • Late preterm – 34 weeks to 36 6/7 • Preterm – Less than 37 weeks • Viability – 22 weeks to 25 weeks
Background • G/P (TPAL) • Gravity – Total number of pregnancies including the current pregnancy • Parity- Number of pregnancies that have reached 20 weeks gestation Term deliveries Preterm deliveries Abortions or Miscarriages Living Children
Background • Prenatal History • Complications • Infectious disease testing • GBS status is especially relevant to L&D clinical experience
Breasts • What is the mothers plan for feeding her infant • Baby Friendly initiative • Reasons some women can not breastfeed • Reasons women should not breastfeed
Uterus • True labor? • Tocotransducer • Placed on the fundus of the uterus
Uterus • Contractions • Duration • Frequency • Intensity
Uterus • Fetal heart monitor
Uterus • Leopold’s Maneuver
Uterus • Fetal heart rate • Fetal acid/base balance • Fetal neurologic function
Uterus • Baseline heart rate • 110-160 bpm
Uterus • Variability • Fluctuations in fetal heart rate baseline • Four basic types of variability • Absent • Minimal • Moderate • Marked
Uterus • Absent variability
Uterus • Minimal variability • 1-5 bpm variability in baseline heart rate
Uterus • Moderate variability • 6-25 bpm variability in fetal heart rate
Uterus • Marked variability • > 25 bpm variability in fetal heart rate
Uterus • V • E • A • L • C • H • O • P
Uterus • Variable Decelerations • C: Cord Compression
Uterus • Early Decelerations • Head Compression
Uterus • Accelerations • OK
Uterus • Late Decelerations • Placental Insufficiency
