OB Exam2 Flashcards
2 Origins of Pain
Visceral - uterine/cervical radiation
Somatic -perineal tissue intense/sharp
Dick-read Preperation
deep to shallow, sustained pushing, breath holding
Lamaze Preparation
psychprophylactic PPM - mind control
Bradley Preparation
partner coached
Birthing from within, Hypnobirthing, professional association
Foster confidence!
Gate-Control Method
Only so much sense can go through nerve, other senses block pain
Local Perineal block is for…?
suturing lacerations
Pudendal block is for…? when?
supporting forcep/vacuum, 2nd - 3rd stage
Spinal block location and 3 ▲
L3 - L4
▲ HypoTN, breathing pattern, placental perfusion
Headache r/t block?
Use Blood patch to stop leak of fluid
Epidural block location
↓ L5
CSE - aka walking
Combo of opiod/analgesia
Naloxone
Counter to opiods if pt has respiratory depression
External/Internal FHR monitoring
Toco/Doppler - Intrauterine Pressure Cath and Fetal Spiral Electrode
FHR averages
Norm 110 - 160
Tach ↑ 160
Brad ↓ 110
FHR Variabilities (4)
Absent = 0 ▲ r/t baseline Minimal = ↑↓ 5 Moderate = ↑↓ 6 - 25 Marked = ↑ 25
Tracings (6)
Normal = Ø ▲ w/ contractions
Tach = ↑ 160 / 10 min
Brad = ↓ 110 / 10 min
Acceleration ↑ by 15 / 15 sec but ↓ 2 min (32: 10 / 10 sec)
Tachystole ↑ 5 UC / 10 min
Deceleration ↓ FHR with Nadir. ↓30s=cord ↑30s=head
Intensity Contractions FACE MODEL (4)
Mild = tip of nose
Moderate = chin
Firm = forehead
Resting - SOFT
Categories I, II, III
I = no action req. II = abnormal, evaluate III = one of the Tracings, resusictative measures
Resuscitative Measures (4)
Turn laterally, change pos, fluids, O2
Labor begins and ends when…?
First contraction, begin attachment with infant
First Stage starts…? 3 stages.
Regular uterine contractions
Latent = 3cm
Active = 4 - 7cm
Transition = 8 - 10cm
Second Stage starts…? 3 stages.
Full dilation and complete effacement (100%, 10cm, x)
Latent = passive decent
Descent = active push
Transition = pushing most effective
Third Stage what drops…?
Placenta in 15 - 20 minutes
Fourth Stage bis all about (2)…?
Recovery and transition
