Obstructed Labor & Prolonged Labur
Objective • Determine the factors affecting normal labor • Early diagnosis of abnormal labor • How to manage abnormal or prolonged labor. • Identify the complications of prolonged labor.
Determinants of Successful Labor ► Adequate Power (uterine contractions) ► Adequate Passage (maternal pelvis) ► Adequate Passenger (fetal size) • DEFINITION OF PROLONGED LABOUR • When labor tends to be prolonged for more • than 18 hours both in primigravida and • multigravida women
Causes ►Fault in passage ►Fault in passenger ►Fault in power : ▪ Hypotonic Uterine Dysfunction (inertia) ►Can be 2ry to Epidural analgesia or • Chorioamnionitis • ▪ Hypertonic / In coordinate Uterine function
Diagnosis • History: • 1.Age • 2.Parity • 3.Duration of labor • 4.Duration of membrane rupture • 5.Whether the patients was handle outside the hospital • 6.Whether she was treated with oxytocin drugs • 7.Previous history of difficult labor, instrumental delivery or stillbirth
Abdominal examination: • 1. Contour of the uterus • 2. Presentation & position • 3. Tenderness • 4. Frequency, intensity & duration of uterine contraction • 5. Lower segment distended • 6. Distension of the bladder
Vaginal examination: - The vulva usually swollen and edematous. - The vaginal is dry, hot and occasionally offensive and purulent discharge - The cervix is almost fully dilated - The presenting part is extremely molded and jammed in the pelvis - There is usually large caput formation
Management A. General management : 1. NPO & i/v fluid start immediately 2. Bladder evacuation. 3. Parenteral antibiotics. 4. Intake output chart should be strictly maintain 5. Blood should be send for grouping and cross matching
Obstetric Management • During 1st stage: 1. Role of oxytocin : hypotonic uterine contraction • Role of sedation : incoordinateuterine contraction use of narcotics may lead to spontaneous correction • Role of amniotomy in correction of hypotonic uterine contraction 4. Role of cesarean section: contracted pelvis, big baby, malpresentation, malposition, severe fetal distress
During 2nd stage: 1. Role of episiotomy: rigid / tight perineum 2. Role of instrumental delivery (Forceps or Vacuum): in case of fetal distress, • 3. Role of cesarean section: contracted pelvis, big baby, malpresentation, malposition, and severe fetal distress
Obstructed labour ►Definition : defined as labor where there is poor or no progress of labor in spite of good uterine contraction! ►Incidence :- 1 -2% of cases in developing country
Causes ►Maternal condition (fault in the passage): 1. Contracted pelvis 2. Abnormal pelvis: android, anthropoid 3. Pelvic tumor: fibroid, ovarian tumor 4. Tumor of rectum, bladder or pelvic bone 5. Abnormality in uterus & vagina: scarring in cervix, vaginal septum, rigid perineum
fetal causes • Big baby • Big head, hydrocephalus • Deflexed head, brow and face mentoposterior. • Oblique or transverse lie
Diagnosis ►Partogramwill recognize impending obstruction of labor ►Careful general, abdominal and vaginal examination can detect if labor is slow or no progress
General examination: • Features of maternal distress • Dehydration • Tachycardia >100/m • Raise temperature • Scanty urine
Abdominal examination : • -The retraction ring might appear and felt • between the tonic contracted upper • segment of the uterus and the distended • lower segment • - Distended urinary bladder
Vaginal examination: - The vulva usually swollen and edematous - The vaginal can be dry and hot - The cervix is almost fully dilated or hanging like a curtain - The presenting part is extremely molded and jammed in the pelvis - There is usually large caput formation
Management ►Preventive: - Proper assessment of pregnant woman during ANC - Regular ANC visit - Proper assessment in early labor to - Use of Partogram - Prompt and appropriate treatment
Obstetric Management 1. Delivery of fetus: a. Vaginal delivery: if head is low and vaginal delivery is not risky, forceps extraction may be done b. Caesarean section: 2. Active management of 3rd stage of labor 3. Continuous bladder drainage for 2-3 days to prevent any urogenital fistula
