Q

LABOR: CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS

A
  • Uterine contractions (1 in 10 mins; 4 in 20 mins) by direct observation or by electronic fetal monitor.
  • At least 200 Montevideo units (MVU)
  • Documented progressive changes in cervical dilatation & effacement
  • Cervical effacement of >70-80%.
  • Cervical dilatation >3 cm.
45
Q

INDICATIONS FOR INDUCTION OF LABOR

A
  • Gestational hypertension
  • Preeclampsia, eclampsia
  • Prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM)
  • Maternal medical conditions (e.g. DM, renal disease, infertility, APAS)
  • Gestation > 41 1/7 weeks
  • Fetal compromise (e.g. FGR)
  • Fetal demise
  • Logistic factors for term pregnancy (e.g. history or rapid labor, proximity from hospital, psychosocial indications)
  • Intraamniotic infection
46
Q

CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR INDUCTION OF LABOR

A
  • Malpresentation (e.g. breech)
  • Absolute cephalo-pelvic disproportion
  • Placenta previa
  • Previous major uterine surgery (e.g. classical CS, myomectomy)
  • Invasive carcinoma of cervix
  • Cord presentation
  • Active genital herpes
  • Gynecological, obstetrical, or medical conditions that preclude vaginal birth
  • Physician’s convenience
47
Q

Signs of uterine hyperstimulation

A

§ Five (5) contractions in 10 minutes or more than 10 contractions in 20 minutes.

§ Hypertonus – contraction(s) lasting more than 120 seconds

§ Excessive uterine activity with an atypical or abnormal fetal heart rate.

48
Q

3 functional divisions of labor.

A
  • Preparatory division – the cervix dilates little, but the connective tissue components change considerably. Sedation and conduction analgesia are capable of arresting this division.
  • Dilatational division – dilation proceeds at its most rapid rate; unaffected by sedation
  • Pelvic division – commences with the deceleration phase of cervical dilatation. The classic labor mechanisms that involve the cardinal fetal movements of the cephalic presentation takes place principally in this division.
49
Q

Sagittal suture approaches the sacral promontory, more of the anterior parietal bone presents itself to the examining fingers.

A

o Anterior asynclitism

50
Q

Sagittal suture lies close to the symphysis, more of the posterior parietal bone will present.

A

o Posterior asynclitism
