OB exam 2 Flashcards
VEAL CHOP MINE
Acronym for the FHR pattern, cause, and management
FHR variability
Normal irregularity of rhythm; determinant of fetal wellbeing
FHR absent variability
Absent or smooth flat baseline is a sign of fetal compromise
FHR minimal variability
Detectable but equal to or. Less than 5/min
FHR moderate variability
6 to 25/min
FHR marked variability
Greater than 25/min
FHR sinusoidal variability
Repeat cycle of upward increase in the HR followed by a decrease longer than 30 min
R/t severe fetal anemia, fetal asphyxia, fetal infection, fetal cardiac anomalies,etc
Cord compression and how it is relieved
What interventions are performed for absent variability
Normal FHR
Baseline 110-160 over 10 minutes
FHR tachycardia
Above 160- r/t maternal fever, fetal hypoxia, intrauterine infection, drugs
FHR bradycardia
Baseline below 110; r/T profound hypoxia, anesthesia, Beta adrenergic blocking drugs
Interventions for late decelerations
Roll mom to L side for perfusion =priority
Stop oxytocin and inc IVF and O2
Differences between intermittent vs continuous monitoring
Epidural complications
Prevention for epidural complications
Epidural
First stage of labor
dilation 0cm-10cm
Latent phase=0-3cm
Active phase=4-7cm
Transition phase=8-10 cm
How many stages of labor
Four
Phases of first stage of labor
Latent, active, and transition phase
Stage of cervical dilation-Starts with onset of regular contractions and ends with complete dilation
Describe second stage of labor
Stage of expulsion- Begins with complete cervical dilation and ends with delivery of fetus
Describe the third stage of labor
Delivery of neonate and placenta(- begins immediately after fetus is born and ends when placenta is delivered
Describe the fourth stage of labor
Maternal homeostatic stabilization stage-begins after the delivery of the placenta and continues for one to four hours after delivery
VBAC
Qualifications for VBAC
What is OP position?
What will help with back labor
Fetal fibronectin test
Bishop score
What is Bishop score used for
What score is best for induction(Bishop)
Describe pain management in labor
Pharmacologic pain management in labor
Non-pharmacologic pain management in labor
Contractions
How are contractions measured
Duration-contractions
Resting phase-contractions
