  1. Labor Review Petrenko N., MD,PhD

  2. Critical Factors in Labor • 5 critical factors • Birth passage • Fetus • Relationship of Maternal Pelvis and Presenting Part • Physiologic forces of labor • Psychosocial considerations

  3. 1 Birth Passage • Four different types of pelvises, but frequently mixed types anthrapoid android gynaecoid platypelloid

  4. 2 Fetus Lambdoidal suture • Sutures: • Frontal • Sagittal • Coronal • Lambdoidal Sagittal suture Coronal suture Frontal suture Note: sutures are actually membranous spaces that meet at fontanels

  5. Fetus • ☺Fontanelles: intersection of sutures, allows for molding, helps identify position of head • Anterior (bregma) • Diamond shaped • Approx 2-3 cm • Ossifies in ~12-18 months • Posterior • Triangle shaped • Smaller • Closes in 8-12 weeks

  6. Fetus • Other landmarks on the fetal head • Mentum • Sinciput • Vertex • occiput

  7. Fetus • Fetal attitude • Relation of fetal parts to one another • Normal: mod flexion of head, flexion of arms onto chest, flexion of legs onto abdomen • Changes in attitude can contribute to longer, more difficult labor or Cesarean Section

  8. Fetus • Fetal lie • Relationship of the spine (cephalocaudal axis) of the fetus to the spine of the mom • Longitudinal: parallel • Transverse: right angle • Oblique: acute abgle

  9. Fetus Fetal lie Longitudinal Transverse

  10. Fetus • Fetal presentation • Body part entering the pelvis (presenting part) • Cephalic • Breech • Shoulder

  11. Fetus Fetal lie Cephalic • Breech Shoulder

  12. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Cephalic • ☺Vertex presentation • Most common • Head completely flexed on chest • Suboccipitobregmatic (Smallest diameter) • Occiput in presenting part

  13. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Cephalic • Military presentation • Fetal head neither flexed nor extended • Occipitofrontal diameter presents • Top of the head is presenting part

  14. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Cephalic • Brow presentation • Fetal head partially extended • Occipitomental diameter presents • Sinciput is presenting part

  15. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Cephalic • Face presentation • Head hyperextended • Submentobregmatic diameter presents • Face is presenting part

  16. Fetal presentations

  17. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Breech • Sacrum is the landmark • Complete breech • Knees and hips are flexed, thighs on abdomen (“fetal position”) • Buttocks and feet are presenting parts

  18. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Breech • Sacrum is the landmark • Frank breech • Hips flexed, knees extended • Buttocks is presenting part

  19. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Breech • Sacrum is the landmark • Footling breech • Hips and legs extended • Feet are presenting parts (single vs double)

  20. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Shoulder • Acromion process of shoulder is presenting part

  21. Station 􀂉In Gynaecoid & Android pelvis distance between ischial spine to brim is ~5 cm. 􀂉In Anthropoid pelvis distance is ~7 cm 􀂉In Platypelloid pelvis distance is ~3 cm Station of the head in relation to ischial spines

  22. Relationship of maternal pelvis and presenting part

  23. Relationship of maternal pelvis and presenting part • OA most common, easiest to deliver • Other positions are considered malpositions • Position influences labor and birth • Largest diameter in posterior position: back pain, longer 2nd stage • Can tell position by palpation of abdomen and Vaginal Examination

  24. 2 Fetus Lambdoidal suture • Sutures: • Frontal • Sagittal • Coronal • Lambdoidal Sagittal suture Coronal suture Frontal suture Note: sutures are actually membranous spaces that meet at fontanels

  25. Fetus • ☺Fontanelles: intersection of sutures, allows for molding, helps identify position of head • Anterior (bregma) • Diamond shaped • Approx 2-3 cm • Ossifies in ~12-18 months • Posterior • Triangle shaped • Smaller • Closes in 8-12 weeks

  26. Fetus • Other landmarks on the fetal head • Mentum • Sinciput • Vertex • occiput

  27. Fetus • Fetal attitude • Relation of fetal parts to one another • Normal: mod flexion of head, flexion of arms onto chest, flexion of legs onto abdomen • Changes in attitude can contribute to longer, more difficult labor or Cesarean Section

  28. Fetus • Fetal lie • Relationship of the spine (cephalocaudal axis) of the fetus to the spine of the mom • Longitudinal: parallel • Transverse: right angle • Oblique: acute abgle

  29. Fetus Fetal lie Longitudinal Transverse

  30. Fetus • Fetal presentation • Body part entering the pelvis (presenting part) • Cephalic • Breech • Shoulder

  31. Fetus Fetal lie Cephalic • Breech Shoulder

  32. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Cephalic • ☺Vertex presentation • Most common • Head completely flexed on chest • Suboccipitobregmatic (Smallest diameter) • Occiput in presenting part

  40. Fetus • Fetal presentation: Shoulder • Acromion process of shoulder is presenting part

  42. Relationship of maternal pelvis and presenting part

  43. Relationship of maternal pelvis and presenting part • OA most common, easiest to deliver • Other positions are considered malpositions • Position influences labor and birth • Largest diameter in posterior position: back pain, longer 2nd stage • Can tell position by palpation of abdomen and Vaginal Examination

  44. Physiologic forces of labor • Primary: uterine muscles (causes dilation and effacement) • Secondary: abdominal muscles (for 2nd stage)

  45. Physiologic forces of labor • Phases of contractions • Increment • Acme • Decrement • Relaxation • Uterine muscle rest • Rest for mom • Restores oxygenation to baby

  46. Physiologic forces of labor Frequency Duration Intensity

  47. Physiologic forces of labor Intensity: indirect (subjective): palpation: mild, moderate, strong, direct (objective): mmHg pressure with IUPC (intauterine)
