A

neonatal death

22
Q

is the death of a liveborn baby from 24 weeks gestation or with birthweight ≥500g occurring within 7 completed days of birth.

A

early neonatal death

23
Q

the death of a live born baby from 24 weeks gestation or with birthweight ≥500g occurring after 7th day and within 28 completed days of birth.

A

late neonatal death

24
Q

all babies are offered the ‘Heel Prick Test’ screening for Phenylketonuria (PKU), Homocystinuria, Maple Syrup Urine Disease, Classical Galactosaemia, Cystic Fibrosis, Congenital Hypothyroidism. This is done on blood collected on blotting paper from a heel prick on the 4-5th day of life.

A

newborn bloodspot screening

25
Q

carried out while the baby is settled or sleeping at the mother’s bedside. Any baby who does not have a clear response from the screen will be seen for a full audiological (hearing) assessment at our Audiology Clinics (hearing clinics).

A

newborn hearing screening

26
Q

A labour in which the fetus presents by the vertex, the occiput rotates anteriorly, and the result is the birth of a living, mature fetus with no complications, the duration of labour ranging from 4-24 hours.

A

normal labour

27
Q

There is no descent of the presenting part in the presence of good contractions. Usually there is extensive caput and moulding, a malposition or malpresentation, and a retraction ring, the fetus is often large and the pelvis small or abnormal in shape

A

obstructed labour

28
Q

The back of the fetal head behind the posterior fontanelle

A

occiput

29
Q

Regular uterine contractions, leading to dilatation and effacement of the cervix.

A

onset of labour

30
Q

The plug of mucus that occludes the cervical canal during pregnancy

A

operculum

31
Q

Extrusion of the ripened ovum from the Graafian follicle in the ovary to the peritoneal cavity (and then into the tube)

A

ovulation

32
Q

Hastens birth of fetus and/or placenta by stimulating contractions of the uterine muscle; by definition may accelerate first, second or third stages of labour.

A

oxytocic

33
Q

The number of completed pregnancies, whether live birth or stillbirth, of at least 24 weeks gestation or with birthweight ≥500g.

A

parity

34
Q

a women who is in her first pregnancy

A

primigravida

35
Q

a woman who has had more than one completed pregnancy (whether live birth or
stillbirth, of at least 24 weeks gestation or with birthweight ≥500g).

A

multigravida

36
Q

graphic representation of cervical dilatation and descent of the presenting part; used to indicate departure from normal and the need for active management of labour, especially in nulliparas

A

partograph (cervicograph)

37
Q

Suprapubic palpation with the outstretched hand to identify the presenting part of the fetus, its position, flexion and its station within the mother’s pelvis

A

pawlik’s grip

38
Q

The plane (flat surface) of division, between the true and false pelvis. The plane passes from the upper border of the symphysis pubis, along the pubic crest to the iliopectineal eminence then to the sacroiliac joint, along the wings of the sacrum to the centre of the sacral promontory. The shape is transversely oval with the promontory causing a projection posteriorly.

A

pelvic brim or inlet

39
Q

A diamond-shaped opening, which runs from beneath the symphysis pubis along the ischiopubic ramus to the ischial tuberosity (on which we sit) along the sacrotuberous ligament to the fifth piece of the sacrum (the coccyx being mobile folds back in labour).

A

pelvic outlet

40
Q

Measurement of the size of the pelvis, either clinically or by radiography.

A

pelvimetry

41
Q

Characteristic of the obese with poor muscle tone and diastasis of the rectus muscles and in multiple pregnancy. The uterus bulges forward and malpresentations are common

A

pendulous abdomen

42
Q

Stillbirths plus early neonatal deaths (first seven days of life).

A

perinatal mortality

43
Q

the number of stillbirths and early neonatal deaths per 1000 livebirths and stillbirths

A

perinatal mortality rate (PMR)

44
Q

excluding perinatal deaths associated or due to a congenital malformation

A

corrected/adjusted perinatal mortality rate (PMR)

45
Q

A triangular-shaped wedge of tissue based on the perineum separating the lower one third of the posterior vaginal wall from the anal canal

A

perineal body

46
Q

Technique of gradually widening the vaginal opening during the third trimester in preparation for delivery of the baby; the birth is usually easier and episiotomy may not be necessary.

A

perineal massage

47
Q

Disruption of the vaginal and perineal mucosa.

A

first degree perineal tear

48
Q

Disruption of the vaginal mucosa and perineal muscles but does not involve anal sphincter muscles.

A

second degree perineal tear

49
Q

Partial or complete disruption of the anal sphincter muscles, which may involve either or both the external (EAS) and internal anal sphincter (IAS) muscles.

A

third degree perineal tear

50
Q

Disruption of the anal sphincter muscles with a breach of the rectal mucosa.

A

fourth degree perineal tear
