L5: Malpresentation & Malposition (OP) Flashcards
Def of Occipito-Posterior Position
Incidence of Occipito-Posterior Position
30-40% during last weeks of pregnancy & 20% at onset of labor
Positions of Occipito-Posterior Position
Types of Occipito-Posterior Position
Etiology of Occipito-Posterior Position
Mechanism of Labor in Occipito-Posterior Position
Deflexion in Occipito-Posterior Position is due to ……
Degrees of deflexion in Occipito-Posterior Position
Descent in Occipito-Posterior Position
Delayed
Engagement in Occipito-Posterior Position
Delayed
- Engaging longitudinal diameter is SOF (10 cm) or OF (11.5 cm). ~ Sob needs full fex
- BPD (9.5 cm) enters pelvis in sacrocotyloid diameter (9.5 cm).
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
- Depends on …..
- degree of deflexion
- efficiency of uterine contractions
- pelvic configuration.
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
- Mechanisms
- Normal mechanism long anterior rotation (90%)
- Abnormal mechanisms (failed long anterior rotation (10%)
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
- Normal Mechanism (long anterior Rotation)
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
- Abnormal Mechansim (Short anterior Rotation)
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
- Abnormal mechanism (No Rotation)
Internal Rotation in Occipito-Posterior Position
- Abnormal Mechanism (Posterior Rotation)
Factors Favoring Long anterior Rotation
