Lesson 10 Flashcards
A loop of the umbilical cord slips down in front of the presenting part
Umbilical cord prolapse
Place the mother’s hips higher than head
Knee-chest position
This position cause the fetal head to fall back from the cord
Trendelenburg position
Used to reduce compression on the cord within infusion of 500 ml warmed NSS
Amnioinfusion
This can also be performed to women with oligohydramnios
Amnioinfusion
Administered to reduce uterine activity and pressure on the fetus
Tocolytic agent
Emergency Management of Cord Prolapse
Call for help
Organize delivery
Relieve pressure on the cord
Delivery
Narrowing of the anteroposterior diameter of the pelvis to less than 11 cm
Inlet contraction
Narrowing of the tranverse diameter
Outlet contraction
This is usually caused by rickets in early life or inherited pelvic size
Inlet contraction
“Done when inlet has a borderline measurement” and the fetal lie position is good
Trial Labor
Caused by lack of Vitamin D
Rickets
To determine whether labor will progress normally
Trial labor
Fetal head is too large to pass through the bony pelvis
Cephalic Disproportion
Is cephalic disproportion necessary for cs
Yes
