DYSOTOCIA Flashcards
1
Q
- The number of contractions are unusually infrequent.
- ACTIVE PHASE
- Not more than to 3 contractions in 10-minute period.
- LESS PAINFUL
- the strength of contractions does not arise above 25mmhg
- resting tone is less than 10mmgh
A
Hypotonic
2
Q
- Resting tone is more than 15 mmHg
- Contractions are strong but not effective
LATENT PHASE: - Muscle fibers do not repolarize after contraction
- FETAL ANOXIA
- PAINFUL
A
Hypertonic
3
Q
pacemaker of the contraction located
A
high of the uterus downwards
3
Q
- More than one pacemaker that may contractions
- Receptor points are acting independently from the pacemaker
- patient has difficulty to rest in between contraction
INTERVENTION
A
Uncoordinated
4
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.
A
PROLONGED LATENT PHASE
5
Q
- Cervical dilatation does not occur at 1.2 cm/h in nullipara or 1.5 cm/h multipara.
- Longer than 12 hours in primipara; 6 hours in multi para
- Fetal malformation or CPD
A
PROTRACTED ACTIVE PHASE
6
Q
(pagbaba ni baby sa pelvic area or birth canal)
* Extends beyond 3 hours in nullipara; 1 hour in a multipara
* Most often results from abnormal fetal head position
*cesarean is required
A
PROLONGED DECELERATION PHASE
7
Q
- Occurs if there is no progress in. cervical dilatation for longer than 2 hours
A
SECONDARY ARREST OF DILATATION
8
Q
- Rate of descent is less than 1 cm/h in nullipara or 2 cm/h in multipara.
- Can be suspected if the 2nd stage of labor lasts over 2 hours in multipara
A
PROLONGED DESCENT
9
Q
- No descent for 2 hours in nullipara or 1 hour in multipara
- Cephalopelvic Disproportion (CPD)
A
ARREST OF DESCENT
10
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.
A
PRECIPITATE LABOR
11
Q
- Labor is started artificially
- Fetus is at term (over 39 weeks)
- Preeclampsia, eclampsia, severe HPN, DM, Rhi sensitization, PROM, intrauterine growth restriction, post-maturity
A
INDUCTION OF LABOR
12
Q
- Assisting labor that has started spontaneously but not effective
- Uterine rupture or PROM
- Used cautiously with patients:
- Multiple gestation
- Polyhydramnios
- Grand parity
- With previous uterine scars
- 40 years old and above
A
AUGMENTATION OF LABOR
13
Q
What should be the actions if:
- Fetus is in longitudinal line
- Cervix is ripe or ready for birth
- Vertex and engaged
- No CPD
- Over 39 weeks
A
- Induction of labor will be initiated
14
Q
- Change in the cervical consistency from firm to soft.
- Dilatation and coordination of uterine contractions will not occur until this happened
A
CERVICAL RIPENING
