Q

what do each of the sutures connect

A
  1. frontal - joins the two frontal bones together
  2. sagital - joins the two parietal bones together
  3. coronal - joins the frontal bone to the two parietal bones
  4. lambdoid - forms the junction between the occipital and the two parietal bones

Q

maternal causes of a breech presentation

A
  • Pelvic abnormalities e.g. Pelvic tumours, contracted pelvis.
  • Abnormal placentation like previae
  • Uterine abnormalities e.g. Septate, fibroids

Q

vaginal breech delivery methods

A
  1. spontaneous breech delivery
  2. Assisted breech deliver (partial breech extraction)
  3. Breech extraction (total)
17
Q

mechanisms of labour in breech presentation

A
  1. Descent and engagement
  2. Flexion (lateral)
  3. Internal rotation
  4. Flexion
18
Q

Wigard-Martin’s method

A
  • The baby’s body lies on the attendant’s left hand
  • The middle finger is inserted into the baby’s mouth, the index and ring fingers on the maxillae to improve and maintain head flexion
  • Suprapubic pressure is exerted by the right hand to deliver the fetal head
19
Q

Mauriceau – Smellie – Veit’s method

A
  • The baby’s body lies on the attendant and left hand
  • The ring and index fingers of the other hand are placed across fetal shoulders while the middle finger is place on the occiput to maintain head flexion.

-Traction is exerted on the fetal shoulders

20
Q

Burns-Marchall’s method

A
  • The attendant stands with his left side against the patient’s right leg.
  • Baby’s feet are held in the left hand
  • Gentle traction is exerted with the legs lifted in a wide arc
  • Delivery of the head is controlled with the right hand, with index and middle fingers placed on the cheek bones.
21
Q

Lovset’s method

A

It is a combination of traction and rotation

22
Q

complications of breech

A
  1. birth asphyxia (cord prolapse and presentation)
  2. birth injuries (brachial palsy, long bone fructures, spinal cord disruptions, tears in the tentorium cerebellum)
23
Q

indications of C/S in breech

A
  1. EFW of more than 3700g or less than 1500g
  2. Contracted pelvis
  3. Footling breech
  4. Deflexed head
  5. Any other obstetric complications
24
Q

what is a compound presentation

A

Compound presentation is prolapse of a fetal extremity into the lower uterine segment alongside the presenting part.

Occurs when an arm prolapses alongside
the presenting part. Both the prolapsed arm and the fetal head present in the pelvis
simultaneously.

25
Q

what are the causes of compound presentation

A
  1. The ill-fitting presenting part predisposes to extremities prolapse:
  2. Prematurity
  3. Cephalopelvic disproportion
  4. Multiple pregnancies
  5. Polyhydramnios
  6. Abnormal lie (transverse)
26
Q

what is the management of compound presentation

A
  1. Confirm the diagnosis by ultrasound or XR
  2. Establish fetal viability
  • Allow vaginal delivery in previable fetuses.
  • In viable fetuses perinatal outcome is better with caesarean section than vaginal delivery

Umbilical cord prolapse is a risk in compound presentations.

27
Q

what is the prognosis of compound presentation

A

Perinatal mortality rates of about 25%. Prematurity, cord prolapse and traumatic vaginal delivery are the main causes

28
Q

complete breech

A

both thighs and legs are flexed

29
Q

frank breech

A

thigh flexed on the abdomen and both legs extended at the knee
