Blue Prints 4: Normal Labor And Delivery Flashcards

1
Q

In what percentage of pregnancies, do the membranes rupture prior to labor? What do we call this?
When PROM occurs more than 18 hours before labor, what do we call it?
How do we define PPROM?

A

10%, premature rupture of membranes
Prolonged premature rupture of membranes
Preterm premature rupture of membranes, meaning the rupture is happening prior to 37 weeks

Q

How can we confirm diagnosis of ROM?

A

Pool, nitrazine and fern tests.
Pool of fluid, nitrazine turns blue because of the alkaline amniotic fluid, and the estrogens in the fluid crystallize like a fern blade

Q

Normal baby HR?
High HR we are thinking 3 things?
What is a low HR we are worried about?

A

Q

What is considered absent, minimum, moderate, and marked fetal heart variability?

A

Less than 3 beats per minute of variation
3-5
5-25
More than 25

18
Q

A tracing can be identified as reactive if what criteria has been met?

A

2 acceleration of at least 15 BPM over baseline for at least 15 seconds per 20 minutes

19
Q

Explain when and why each happens for each fetal deceleration?
Early, variable and late.

A

Early: increased vagal tone because of compression of baby head. Begin and end with contraction
Variable: anytime, umbilical cord compression. Drop steeper.
Late: uteroplacental insufficiency, start at peak of contraction and slowly return to baseline after contraction.

20
Q

What can we do to monitor better if there are several decelerations?

A

Fetal scalp electrode

21
Q

What is normal intrauterine pressure? During early labor and later labor?
What is the Montevideo unit?

A

10-15
20-30
40-60

Average variation of pressure from baseline times number of contractions in ten minutes

22
Q

What fetal scalp pH is good?

A

Over 7.25

23
Q

What are the 6 cardinal movements of labor?
What does correct IR do?
What does extend lead to?
What does ER do?

A

Engages, descends, flexes, IR, extend, and ER.
Allows baby to go OA
Head delivers
Shoulders deliver

24
Q

What is the normal dilation change in nulli and multi?

A

1cm and 1.2cm

25
Q

What Montevideo unit is sufficient contraction strength?

A

Over 200

26
Q

What is considered active phase arrest?

A

No change in cervical dilation or station or 2 hours (some wait 4) and this is a common indication for c section

27
Q

How much longer is stage 2 of labor if mom has epidural?

A

1 hour

28
Q

What can we do with mom if we are seeing lots of late decelerations?

A

Give her o2, turn her on left side to decreased IVS compression and increase intrauterine perfusion. Stop oxytocin

29
Q

What can we give to relax the uterus?

A

Terbutaline

30
Q

What do we do when the head is delivered?

What are the two options if a nuchal cord exists and is too tight to get off?

A

Bulb suction airway/mouth
If you know it will be a short delivery, then clamp and cut it right there. If you don’t know that, like shoulder dystocia, then deliver and cut it after.

31
Q

Explain how to deliver the rest of the baby once head and neck are out?

A

Deliver anterior shoulder by pushing down on head and then once you can see the anterior shoulder, pull up to get posterior shoulder out. Then just continue gentle traction for the rest.

32
Q

What are two indications for episiotomy?

Bad deal with these?

A

Need to quicken delivery or shoulder dystocia

3rd or 4th degree tears

33
Q

What is required to use forceps? 6 things?

A

Full cervical dilation, ruptured membranes, +2 station, knowledge of fetal position, empty bladder, experienced operator

34
Q

What are two common complications of vacuum and 1 rare but emergency?

A

Laceration and cephalohematoma

Subgaleal hemorrhage

35
Q

Vacuum has higher rates of what two things?

Forceps has higher rates of what 2 things?

A

Cephalohematoma and shoulder dystocia

3rd and 4th degree tears and facial nerve palsies

36
Q

What are the three signs of placental separation?

A

Cord lengthening, gush of blood, uterine fundal rebound

37
Q

What is placenta accreta?

A

Placenta has grown deep into the uterine wall, beyond stroma

38
Q

What is torn in 1,2,3,4 degree perineal lacerations?

A

Skin or mucosa
Perineal body
Anal sphincter
Anal mucosa, rectum

39
Q

What is the most common indication for primary c section?

What is the most common cause for c section overall?

A

Failure to progress in labor

Previous c section

40
Q

Requirements if you want to do vaginal delivery after c section?

A

Low scar and team ready for c section

41
Q

What is the relationship of the pudendal nerve we need to know for the purposes of pudendal block?

A

Behind ischial spine and sacrospinous ligament

42
Q

What anesthesia is commonly used for C sections?

What is a common complication for both spinals and epidurals?

A

Spinal

Mom hypotension secondary to decreased SVR which lowers uterine perfusion and baby’s HR.
