Q

When do we do episiotomy?

A

After seeing internal rotation - crowning

19
Q

This is a surgical incision on the mother’s perineum performed as the baby’s head emerges from the vaginal canal during birth intended to prevent perineal tears of the perineal muscles.

A

Episiotomy

20
Q

What is the most important maneuver done during crowning which requires putting pressure at the perineum and supporting the fetal head?

A

Ritgen’s Maneuver

21
Q

What is the indicated episiotomy for short prerineum?

A

Mediolateral episiotomy

22
Q

What are the disadvantages of median episiotomy?

A

Prone to 3rd and 4th degree lacerations and higher rates of anal sphincter and rectal injury

23
Q

Which heals better, is easier to repair and has les blood loss? Medial or mediolateral episiotomy?

A

Medial episiotomy

24
Q

Medial episiotomy is good for patients with wide peritoneum but is bad for what condition of the baby?

A

Macrosomia or large sized baby

25
Q

What traction is applied on the delivery of the shoulders?

A

Downward upward traction

Down for anterior shoulder
Up for posterior shoulder

26
Q

Timing of cord clamping and reason?

A

Delayed for 3 minutes; for transfer of blood (30cc) and iron (50mg)

27
Q

How many cm from the baby’s abdomen will the clamp be placed?

A

1st clamp - 2 cm

2nd clamp - 3 cm from first clamp

28
Q

What it the third stage of labor?

A

From the delivery of the fetus to the delivery of the placenta

29
Q

This is the first sign of placental separation?

A

change from discoid to globular shaped uterus

30
Q

What type of placental separation is dirty and bloody separation?

A

Duncan

31
Q

If placental separation is at the periphery, what type of separation is this?

A

Duncan

32
Q

If the separation is clean and shiny without a sudden gush of blood?

A

Schultze

33
Q

If the placental separation is central, what is the type?

A

Schultze

34
Q

If there is no contraction after delivery of the fetus, what non pharmacological management can be safely done first?

A

Fundal massage

35
Q

What is the most important part of the active management of third stage of labor?

A

Uterotonics (Oxytocin)

36
Q

What management in the 3rd stage of labor prevents uterine inversion?

A

Controlled cord traction

37
Q

What is the synthetic long acting oxytocin like drug?

A

Carbetocin

38
Q

What is the synthetic PGE1 analog?

A

Misoprostol

Inhibits gastric acid and pepsin secretion and enhances mucosal resistance to injury

39
Q
