All of the following cause labor dystocia except A-Hydroceplus B- Occipto –anterior C-Face presenation D- Occipto –Posterior E-Ovarian mass F- Shoulder dystocia Answer B
what is labor dystocia? • Difficult labor, but refers to abnormally slow progress of labor
what are protraction disorders and arrest disorders? • Things are moving slower than expected • No change occurs
How is protraction disorder dx? • Nulliparous: dilation <1.2cm/hr, descent <1.0cm/hr • Multiparous: dilation <1.5cm/hr, descent <2.0cm/hr
How is arrest disorder dx? • -Nulliparous: NOdilation >2hr, no descent >1hr • -Multiparous: NO dilation >2hr, no descent >1hr
How long do you let woman push for? • A-1 hr if multi,2hrs if nulli ,add 1hrs if epidural • B-2 hrs if mulli,3 hrs if nulli ,add 1hrs if epidural • C-1.5 hr if multi ,2.5 hrs, add 1 hr if epidural ANSWER A
Effects of labor dystocia includes all except • A-Chorioamnionitis • B-Uterine rupture • C-Reassuring FHR trace • D-Pelvic floor injury ANSWER C
The three P's of labor • A-Power: uterine contractions • B-Passenger: the baby • C-Passage: the patient's pelvis, pelvic floor
Power and stages of labor • During first stage of labor, you are concerned with the power of the uterine contractions • During the second stage of labor, you are concerned with the power of the patient's pushing efforts
How do you measure uterine activity? • -External tocodynamometry or an intrauterine pressure catheter (IUPC) • For IUPC, patient must be ruptured and increased the risk of infection
What are considered adequate contractions? • Strong enough to cause cervical change • Optimal frequency is a minimum of three contractions in a 10 min period (ideal is every 2 min) • Greater than or equal to 200 Montevideo units
What can you do about inadequate power of uterus? • -If contraction pattern is irregular or less than 3 in 10 minutes or if MVU's are less than 200, use Pitocin to increase intensity and frequency of contractions.
What can you do about inadequate power of pushing? • Allow patient to rest through a few contractions to catch her breath. • Try different positions for more effective pushing • If everything fails, operative vaginal delivery or Cesarean section
Characteristics of the passenger • Lie • Presentation • Size • Anomalies
Fetal lie and fetal presentation that impair delivery • -Fetal lie: non-longitudinal presentation-transverse, oblique or shoulder • -Fetal presentation: breech, face (1 in 600), or brow (1 in 3000), compound presentation (1 in 700)-hand or arm prolapses along fetal head • Asynclitism-lateral deflection of the head to a more anterior or posterior position in pelvis
Types of breech presentation • frank breech: legs are piked-complete breech: indian style or curled legs-footling breech: one leg down, monitor for if umbilical cord falls through pelvis
