Q
  • Contractions become ineffective during the 1st stage of labor.
  • Longer than 14 hours in nullipara; more than 20 hours in multipara
  • This may occur if the cervix is not “ripe” at the beginning of labor.

Q
  • Cervical dilatation occurs at a rate of 5 cm or more/hour in primipara or 10 cm or more/hour in multipara.
  • Uterine contractions are so strong.
  • Labor can be completed in less than 3 hours.
  • Common in grand multiparity or after induction of labor via oxytocin
  • Premature separation of placenta or laceration of the perineum
  • Cannot be prevented but can be predicted.

15
Q

3 METHOD TO RIPEN THE CERVIX:

A

Stripping (sweeping) the membranes
Hygroscopic suppositories
Insertion of prostaglandin

16
Q
  • Refers to the uterus turning inside out with either birth of the fetus or delivery of the placenta.
  • It may occur if traction is applied to the umbilical cord to remove the placenta.
  • Can cause large amount of blood suddenly gushes from the vagina.
  • No uterine contractions
  • Fundus is no longer palpable in the abdomen.
  • Patient may begin to show signs of blood loss such as:
  • Hypotension
  • Dizziness
  • Paleness
  • Diaphoresis (excessive sweat)
A

INVERSION OF THE UTERUS

16
Q
  • 5 or more contractions in a 10 - minute period or contractions lasting more than 2 minutes in duration or occurring within 60 seconds of each other.
  • Interferes with placenta filling and fetal oxygenation
A

HYPERSTIMULATION

17
Q

DEGREE OF UTERINE INVERSION
- fundus inverts but does not herniate through the level of the internal os.

A

Incomplete

18
Q

DEGREE OF UTERINE INVERSION

  • the internal lining of the fundus crosses through the cervical os with no palpable fundus abdominally.
A

Complete

19
Q

DEGREE OF UTERINE INVERSION

  • entire uterus prolapsing through the cervix with the fundus
A

Prolapse

20
Q

occurs when AF is foreced into an open uterine blood sinus after a membrane rupture or partial premature sepration of the placenta

A

amniotic fluid embolosim

21
Q
  • A loop of the umbilical cord slips down in front of the presenting fetal part.
  • It may occur at any time after the membranes ruptures if the presenting fetal part is not fitted firmly into the cervix.
A

PROLAPSE OF THE UMBILICAL

22
Q
  • The fetus is not getting enough oxygenated blood from the placenta or umbilical cord
  • FHR pattern may show variable decelerations
A

FETAL DISTRESS
