Q

a medical tool called a Doppler ultrasound, which is used to assess blood flow through various vessels in the body, including those in the fetus and placenta during pregnancy. It works by emitting high-frequency sound waves that bounce off moving blood cells, producing echoes that are then processed to create a picture of blood flow.

A

FETAL LIMBS

40
Q

Fetal Limbs feel

A

1.Knobby
2.Bumpy

41
Q

If the presenting part is fixed and cannot be easily moved, it indicates engagement.

A

Engaged

42
Q

How can you know if it is not engaged?

A

If the presenting part is movable and can be pushed upwards, it indicates the baby is not yet engaged.

43
Q

What is the purpose / rationale of the 3rd Maneuver or Pawlicks Grip?

A

1.It helps identify which part of the fetus (head or breech) is presenting at the pelvic inlet. This is crucial for understanding the baby’s position in preparation for delivery.
2. Helps healthcare providers to determine if the fetal head (or presenting part) has descended into the maternal pelvis, indicating engagement. Engagement is an important sign that labor is progressing normally.

3.Knowing the presenting part and its level of engagement assists in planning the method of delivery. For instance, if the baby is in a breech position and not engaged, alternative delivery methods, such as a cesarean section, might be considered.

4.This maneuver helps in detecting abnormal fetal presentations, such as breech or transverse lie. Early detection allows for timely medical interventions to manage these situations.

44
Q

Rationale or Purposes of the 4th Maneuver?

A

The fourth maneuver confirms the presenting part (usually the head) by feeling how deeply it has descended into the pelvis. This is important for verifying the findings of the third maneuver (Pawlik’s Grip).
2. It assesses whether the presenting part is engaged in the pelvic inlet. Engagement is defined as the fetal head reaching or passing through the pelvic brim, which is typically at the level of the ischial spines (0 station). If the presenting part is deeply engaged, it indicates that labor is progressing and the fetus is moving into the birth canal.

45
Q

Leopold’s maneuvers are typically performed in the third trimester of pregnancy, usually starting around 28 weeks gestation and continuing through the remainder of the pregnancy. They are particularly useful as the due date approaches, around 36 weeks and beyond, when the fetal position becomes more relevant for planning delivery.

A

.

46
Q

If the hands meet close together, it indicates that the fetal head is engaged. Engagement means that the widest part of the fetal head has passed through the pelvic brim and is positioned at or below the level of the ischial spines (0 station).

A

Engaged Fetal Head
