Q

FSE

A

firm part, avoid sutures and fontanelle
not affected by moms movement
advantages: clearer tracings, provide better info about variability, nurse can place
disadvantages: infection, injury, requires ROM and sufficient dilation

Q

EFM - US

A

advantages: continuous graphic recording, baseline, variability, changes in FHR, noninvasive, no rupture of membranes, nurse can place
disadvantages: interference from maternal and fetal movement, weak signal, tracing may become sketchy and difficult to interpret

Q

EFM - toco

A

advantages: noninvasive, easy to place, may be used before and after ROM, can be used intermittently, permanent continuous recording, nurse can place and palpate contractions for intensity
disadvantages: must compare subjective findings with monitor, bel may become uncomfortable and require freq readjustment, mother may feel limited to move, dose not provide intensity

Q

IUPC

A

when toco insufficient
intensity! want MVU sum >200 and <300 in 10 min, c <2min, <5 c in 10 min want q2-3min, resting tone should be <25mmHg
advantages: intensity, allow accurate timing of contractions, permanent record of uterine activity
disadvantages: must have ROM and adequate dilation, invasive, increase risk of infection or uterine perforation, CI with active infection, use with low lying placental can result in placenta puncture, OB or midwife place

Q

fetal position: leopolds maneuver

A

help determine where to put US
1st: head (hard) or butt (soft) at fundus
2nd: arms (bumpy) or back (smooth) side of abd
3rd: presenting part at symphysis pubis, hard = head, hard to feel or soft = butt
4th: outline with palms, higher head = feel more

Q

fetal status

A

baseline FHR (110-160) at least 10 min
change in FHR: accel (</>32 wk), decel (early, late, variable, prolonged, sinusoidal)
periodic = with contraction, episodic = no contraction
variability (absent, minimal, mod, marked), fetal brady (<110 for 10 min, bleeding)), fetal tachy (>160 for 10 min, temp!, med, infection) -> fetal O2

Q

decels

A

VEAL CHOP
early = head compression
late = uteroplacental insuff (low bp leads to low perfusion)
variable = cord compression, abrupt (umbilical cord prolapse)
prolonged = > 2 min but <10 min, decrease greater than 10 from baseline
sinusoidal = perfect wave, acidosis, deliver

17
Q

non reassuring FHR patterns

A

variable decel (persistent and severe), late decel, prolonged decel, no variability, sinusoidal, severe brady or prolonged tachy

18
Q

category 1

A

normal
110-160, mod, no late or variable decel

19
Q

category 2

A

indeterminate
minimal or marked, no accel, prolonged decl, recurrent variables or late decels with moderate variability

20
Q

category 3

A

abn -> deliver
sinusoidal, absent, recurrent lates, variables, or brady

21
Q

FHR nc

A

UNCOIL
change position -> L side
oxytocin with late or prolonged -> turn off
increase IVF
o2 (10L/tight non rebreathing face mask)
notify MD/midwife
toco if contracting to decrease uterine activity (terbutaline)
prep for delivery if uncorrectable (vaginal near = forceps or vacuum, vaginal remote = c/s

22
Q

stage 1: latent nc

A

anticipatory guidance, infor and support, encourage ambulation, ice chips/fluid, VS q1, temp q4 or q2 if ROm, FHR q30-60 (risk and normality)

23
Q

stage 1: active nc

A

palpate q15-30 or continuous, vaginal exams, void q1-2, start IV fluid infusion, auscultate FHR q15-30, VS q15-30, color, odor, amount + FHR when ruptured; change position and pads often

24
Q

stage 1: transition nc

A

palpate q15 or continuous, vaginal exams, FHR q15-30, assess q15-30, assits with breathing, keep from pushing until fully dilated, peanut ball (epidural, rotation OP->OA)

25
Q

stage 1 comfort measures

A

clear fluids/ice, ambulation, hydrotherapy, perineal care, relax between contractions, distract, effleurage (firm stroke with palm of hand), firm P on back or sacrum, visualization, controlled breathing, position change

26
Q

stage 2 nc

A

vaginal exam, FHR q5-15, VS q30, support and info about labor progress, assist with push, assist with hcp or cnm with birth

27
Q

stage 2 comfort measures

A

same as stage 1
cool cloths, rest btw, fluid/ice, reassure, assist into pushing position, assist with push

28
Q

stage 2: s of imminent birth

A

uncontrollable urge to bear down, perineum bulge, increase bloody show

29
Q

stage 3 newborn care

A

vs q15 for 1st hour, temp q1, oxytocin 20U, palpate fundus q15 for 1hr (form or boggy - bleed)
assess vaginal bleed, perineum and pericare, need to void, bonding and kangaroo care, feeding, count instrument and sponge after delivery

32
Q

A

heated blanket, food.fluid, icepack to perineum, pain meds, rest

33
Q

stage 4 immediate post birth danger S

A

hypoT, tachy, uterine atony, excessive bleed, hematoma

34
Q

d/c to postpartum care

A

stable VS and bleeding, undistended bladder, firm fundus, return or sensation, admit baby with mom to postpartum or newborn nursery (match bracelets)

35
Q

maternal adaptations following birth

A

BP: return to prelabor level,
pulse: slightly lower than when in labor
uterine fundus: midline at umbilicus or 1 to 2 finger breadths below the umbilicus
lochia: red (rubra), small to mod amount (from spotting on pads to 1/4 to 1/2 of pad covered in 15 min)
bladder: nonpalpable
perineum: smooth, pink, without bruising or edema
emotional state: wide variation, including excited, exhilarated, smiling, crying, fatigued, verbal, quiet, pensive, and sleepy

36
Q

early decel

A

head compression
uniform waveform, inversely mirrors contraction
just prior to or early in contraction
consistently at or before midpoint of contraction
usually within normal range
can be single or repetitive

37
Q

late decel

A

uteroplacental insufficiency
uniform waveform, shape reflects contraction
late in contraction
consistently after midpoint of contraction
usually within 110-130
occasional, consistent

38
Q

variable decel

A

umbilical cord compression
variable wave form, generally sharp drops and returns
abrupt with fetal insult, not related to contraction
variable around midpoint
not usually within normal range
variable - single or repetitive

39
Q

veal chop

A

Variable decel - cord compression
early - head
acceleration - okay
late - placental insufficiency

40
Q

uncoil

A

UNdo what is causing the problem
Change position (left lateral)

Lower HOB
