21
Q

IOL: prostaglandin E2

A

used for cervical ripening; do not give to asthmatic patients (bronchospasm)

22
Q

IOL: oxytocin

A

exaggerates uterine contractions, normally found in posterior pituitary

23
Q

IOL: amniotomy

A

puncture of the amniotic sac via an amnio hook, inspect for prolapsed umbilical cord first

24
Q

prolonged latent stage

A

latent phase (20 hours for primipara and >14 hours for multipara

25
Q

etiology of prolonged latent stage

A

sedation, unfavorable cervix, uterine dysfunction with irregular or weak contractions

26
Q

treatment of prolonged latent stage

A

rest and hydration, most will convert to spontaneous delivery in 6-12 hours

27
Q

protracted cervical dilation

A

slow dilation during the active phase of stage 1 labor, <1.5cm/hr in multipara

28
Q

etiology of protracted cervical dilation

A

power, passenger, passage

29
Q

treatment of protracted cervical dilation

A

cephalopelvic disproportion - cesarean; weak uterine contractions - oxytocin

30
Q

arrest of cervical dilation

A

no cervical dilation for 2 hours

31
Q

arrest of fetal descent

A

no fetal descent for 1 hour

32
Q

eitiology of arrest disorders

A

cephalopelvic disproportion, malpresentation, excessive sedation/anesthesia

33
Q

Leopold maneuvers

A

set of 4 maneuvers that estimate the fetal weight and the preseting part of the fetus

34
Q

frank breech

A

fetus’s hips are flexed with extended knees bilaterally

35
Q

complete breech

A

fetus’ hips and knees are flexed bilaterally

36
Q

footling breech

A

fetus’ feet are first: one leg (single footing) or both legs (double footing)

37
Q

treatment for breech

A

external cephalic version, only performed after 36 weeks gestation

38
Q

shoulder dystoica

A

occurs when head of fetus has been delivered but anterior shoulder is stuck behind the pubic symphysis

39
Q

risk factors for shoulder dystocia

A

maternal diabetes and obesity (macrosomia), postterm pregnancy, h/o prior shoulder dystocia

40
Q

treatment for shoulder dystocia

A

McRoberts maneuver, Rubin maneuver, Woods maneuver, delivery of posterior arm, deliberate fx of fetal clavicle, Zavanelli maneuver

41
Q

McRoberts maneuver

A

first line tx for shoulder dystoica, maternal felxion of knees into abdomen with suprapubic pressure

42
Q

Rubin maneuver

A

rotation of the fetus’ shoulders by pushing the posterior shoulder towards the fetal head

43
Q

Woods maneuver

A

rotation of the fetus’ shoulders by pushing the posterior shoulder toward the fetal back

44
Q

Zavanelli maneuver

A

push the fetal head back into the uterus and perform cesarean delivery, high rate of maternal and fetal mortality

45
Q

postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)

A

bleeding more than 500 mL after delivery; early = less than 24 hours afterwards; late = 24hrs to 6 weeks

46
Q

uterine atony and pph

A

accounts for more than 80%

47
Q

causes of PPH

A

uterine atony, laceration, retained parts and coagulopathy

48
Q

risk factors for atony

A

anesthesia, uterine overdistention, prolonged labor, laceration, retained placenta, coagulopathy

49
Q

how does Sheehan syndrome present

A

inability to breastfeed after PPH

50
Q

treatment of PPH

A

assure that there is no rupture of the uterus or retained placenta, bimanual compression and massage, oxytocin
