(reported w/ + or - signs)

20
Q

What are the 3 P’s?

A

Passenger: size, position, lie, attitude, presentation

Pelvis/Passage: bony & soft tissue structures of maternal pelvis

21
Q

What does the 1st stage of labor consist of?

A

Interval between: onset of labor –> full cervical dilation & effacement

Latent phase: 1st contractions –> 3-4cm dilation (rate of dilation is SLOW 0.5cm/hr)

Active phase: Dilation rate increases 1cm/hr –> ends w/ COMPLETE dilation

22
Q

What does the 2nd stage of labor consist of?

A

Complete dilation –> delivery

(pushing phase)

23
Q

What does the 3rd stage of labor consist of?

Normal/Good/Reassuring of fetal well-being

Increases 15 bpm above baseline and lasts 15 seconds

25
Q

Describe “Deceleration” of Fetal Monitoring

A

BAD

Variable: d/t cord compression (seen in respect w/ timing of contraction, shape, severity)

Late: baby is in distress, fetal hypoxia, placental insufficiency, maternal hypotension, maternal hypoxia

26
Q

What is hypocontractile uterine activity (power)

Measured how?

Solution?

A
  • Monitored by external tocometry
