Aspiration
AMNIOCENTESIS
Only ____ mL of amniotic fluid is
allowed to be aspirated during the procedure.
15-30 mL
Invasive
AMNIOCENTESIS
Requireinformed consent
AMNIOCENTESIS
Performed at the lower abdomen of the
pregnant mother.
AMNIOCENTESIS

para mabilis.
Dapat at least 10 minutes gising
and baby. Get the FHT and give a
buzzer to a patient. Kapag
naramdaman ni patient na
gumalaw ang baby, instruct her
to press the buzzer to alert the
nurse.
After 10 minutes, bibilangin ng
nurse ang fetal heart rate.
If hindi parin gumagalaw ang
baby, possible na hindi kumain
ang nanay and it means tulog pa
ang baby. Para magising agad
ang baby, ring a bell above the
abdomen of the mother.
If 140 ang unang kuha , dapat
madagdagan ito ng 15 bpm after
10 mins na gumagalaw ang baby
para maging positive ang test.
Kapag greater than or equal kay
155, reactive and kapag less than
155 non-reactive ang baby
If non-reactive ang results, the
baby is depressed. Another test is
needed which is CST
NON-STRESSTEST(NST)
Will stress the baby (contraction

CONTRACTION STRES STEST (CST)
Stimulation of the nipple of the
mother (nipple-rolling ) to
stimulate uterine contraction.
CONTRACTION STRES STEST (CST)
To determine reaction of fetal
heart rate to uterine contraction.
CONTRACTION STRES STEST (CST)

–During the test you will stimulate
contraction. If sobrang lakas na
contraction ang ma stimulate,
posibleng mag-rupture ang bag
of water which can lead to labor.
If ma-deliver man ang baby,
mataas na ang surfactant.
24th week–production of
surfactant starts
CONTRACTION STRES STEST (CST)
Normal Result: No deceleration
of Fetal Heart Rate
CONTRACTION STRES STEST (CST)
The mother is not in labor during
the test.
The mother will roll her nipple for
10 minutes to stimulate uterine
contraction. Ensure privacy of the
patient.
Nipple rolling will send a signal to
the PPG to produce small
amounts of oxytocin that causes
mild uterine contraction.
Strong uterine contraction is
present in actual labor and it can
decrease fetal heart rate.
Procedure:
Allow the patient to rest before
the procedure.
Get the fetal heart rate and
maternal vital signs.
Instruct the patient to change
into the patient’s gown.
Instruct the patient to roll her
nipples for 10 minutes. Provide
privacy.
Wait for a window of 3-5minutes
na may contraction. The baby
needs to be exposed to
continuous uterine contractions.
Sample FHR: 140bpm
Normal Result: Still 140bpm

which can be fatal to
the fetus (fetal distress).
This test can predict the possibility of fetal distress during normal delivery.

During pregnancy, progesterone levels are high. It

Is it possible that the woman is experiencing true labor
even if the bag of water is intact?
Yes

rupture the bag of water themselves
(amniotomy).
THEORIES OF LABOR ONSET
- PROSTAGLANDIN THEORY
- OXYTOCIN THEORY
- UTERINESTRENGTH THEORY
- PLACENTAL DEGENERATION THEORY and PROGESTERONE
DEPRIVATION THEORY
THEORIES OF LABOR ONSET
To prevent uterine rupturing of the uterus, the
endometrium produces prostaglandin to aid in
uterine contraction.
PROSTAGLANDIN THEORY
At the same time, the PPG also releases oxytocin
to aid in uterine contraction.
OXYTOCIN THEORY
As the baby grows, the uterus stretches and it
gets thinner.
The uterus stretches until it reaches its
maximumpoint of being stretched.
UTERINE STRENGTH THEORY
When the placenta reaches 9months, it is aging.
Therefore, its ability to produce progesterone
decreases. Thus, this will not allow prevention of
contraction.
PLACENTAL DEGENERATION THEORY and PROGESTERONE
DEPRIVATION THEORY
4 STAGES OF LABOR AND DELIVERY
STAGE OF DILATATION
STAGE OF EXPULSION
STAGE OF PLACENTAL DELIVERY
STAGE OF RECOVERY
Starts with true labor contraction and ends with full
dilatation of the cervix.
STAGE OF DILATATION
Considered the longest stage of labor and delivery
STAGE OF DILATATION
3 PHASES of STAGE OF DILATATION
○ Latent
○ Active
○ Transitional
Starts with the full dilatation of the cervix and ends with
the delivery of the baby.
Starts with the delivery of the baby and ends with the
delivery of the placenta.
STAGE OF PLACENTAL DELIVERY
Starts with the delivery of the placenta and ends with the
first 2 hours of post-delivery.

● Oxytocin na ang ginagamit sa EINC

● Main Reason: Kapag nag-incorporate
