Final - 1 Reproduction Flashcards
VEAL CHOP
V: variable accelerations E: early decelerations A: accelerations L: late decelerations C: cord compression H: head compression O: okay P: placental-utero insufficiency
Is it bad or good to have early decelerations
Good!
Pressure on the baby’s head causes _____ response
vagal
Early Decelerations: - _____ intervention needed - get ready for _____ - the _____ and _____ line up
- no intervention needed - get ready for baby - the contraction & variable line up
Is it bad or good to have late decelerations
BAD!!!!!
What is happening with late decelerations
uteroplacental O2 deficiency
Late Decelerations: - roll mom onto her _____ - give _____, _____, etc - the contraction and variable d_____ line up
Late Decelerations: - roll mom onto her side - give O2, fluids, etc - the contraction and variable don’t line up
Variable Decelerations: - roll mom _____ to _____ (get baby off the _____) - start _____ (_____ baby off the cord)
Variable Decelerations: - roll mom side to side (get baby off the cord) - start amnioinfusion (float baby off the cord)
What is happening with prolonged decelerations
prolonged uteroplacental deoxygenations (placental abruption, prolapsed cord, etc)
Does a prolonged decelerations every come back up
No!
What do you do for prolonged decelerations
attempt interventions for variables and late decelerations, then cesarean-section
Early Decelerations
Late Decelerations
Variable Decelerations
Prolonged Decelerations
Factors Affecting Labor ( P’s)
- Passenger (fetus)
- passageway (the birth passage)
- powers (physiological forces of labor)
- position (relation between fetus & passageway
- psychological considerations
Normal Processes & Stages of Labor “Cardinal Movements)
Every Day Fine Infants Enter Eager & Excited:
- engagement
- descent
- felxion
- internal rotation
- extension
- external rotation
- expulstion
Nitrazine paper will turn _____ in presence of amniotic fluid
- yellow or green may mean _____
blue
- yellow or green may mean meconium
True/False Labor:
- regular interval for contractions
- increase in intensity & frequency
- unrelieved with rest
true
True or False Labor:
- irregular intervals for contractions
- no change in duration and frequency
- contractions relieved with rest
nulliparas:
contractions 5 min. apart x 1 r
Multiparas:
contractions 6-8 min. apart x 1 hr
Measured from beginning of 1 contractions to the end or completion of same contraction
length
measure either by palpation or internal monitor
strength
