Module 1.10 Flashcards
Leopold’s Maneuvers
maneuver used to palate for fetal position
2nd Stage of Labor
is the expulsion of the fetus. It begins when the cervix is fully dilated and is complete when the baby is born
3rd stage of Labor
3rd stage is defined the expulsion of the placenta; length of time for 3rd stage is completed usually within 10 minutes
Placenta Succenturiate/Lobe
has an accessory lobe or cotyledon separate from the primary placental mass. The succenturiate lobe is connected to the primary mass by a fetal artery and vein and functions normally
Circumvallate Placente
there is an opaque ring seen on the fetal surface of the placenta. It is formed by a doubling back of the chorion and amnion and may result in the membranes leaving the placenta nearer the center instead of at the edge
Velamentous Insertion
if the velamentous vessels cross the internal cervical os the condition is referred to as vasa previa. The cord is inserted into the membranes some distance from the edge of the placenta. The umbilical vessels run through the membranes from the cord os the. placenta
Amnion
It is thought to have a role in the formation of the amniotic fluid
Chorion
this is a thick, opaque, friable membrane derived from the trophoblast. this is continuous with the chorionic plate which forms the base of the placenta
Amniotomy
Artificial Rupture of Membranes
