Dystocia
A labor that last more than 24 hours
Dystocia
Sluggishness of contractions
Inertia
Inertia is now know as ____
Dysfunctional Labor
What type of dysfunctional labor: occuring at the onset of labor
Primary
What type of dysfunctional labor: occuring later in labor
Secondary
Uterine tone of “mild contraction”
15-30 mmhg
Uterine tone of “resting tone”
5-15 mmhg
Uterine tone of “strong contraction”
50-75 mmhg
Uterine tone of “moderate contraction”
30-50
The number of contractions is LOW or INFREQUENT
Hypotonic Contraction
What contraction: resting tone remains less than 10 mmhg
Hypotonic Contraction
Hypotonic Contraction is common in what phase
Active Phase
What contraction: increase in resting tone >15 mmhg
Hypertonic Contraction
What is the secondary inertia
Hypotonic
The hypertonic contraction / uterus is seen in what phase
Latent phase
What contraction: painful
Hypertonic
What contraction: painless
Hypotonic
What contraction: favorable reaction of oxytocin
Hypotonic
What contraction: unfavorable reaction of oxytocin
Hypertonic
What contraction: can occur so closely together that they can interfere with the blood supply to the placenta
Uncoordinated Contraction
A hard band that forms across the uterus
Contraction ring
