Q

What are maternal characteristics of the Transition Phase?

A
Most difficult part of labor
Tired, restless, irritable
Feels out of control, "cannot continue"
N/V
Urge to push
Rectal pressure, feeling of bowel movement
Increased bloody show
20
Q

What defines the Second Stage?

A

5 min to 2 hr

Full dilation to Birth

21
Q

Maternal characteristics of the Second Stage?

A

pushing = birth of fetus

22
Q

What defines the Third Stage?

A

5 - 30 min

Delivery of neonate to delivery of placenta

23
Q

Maternal characteristics of the Third Stage?

A

Placental separation & expulsion

24
Q

What defines the Fourth Stage?

A

1 - 4 hr

Delivery of placenta to maternal vitals stabilize

25
Q

Maternal characteristics of the Fourth Stage?

A

Vitals stabilize

Lochia scant to moderate

26
Q

Expected fluctuations of the baseline that are an indicator of fetal well being:

A

variability

27
Q

What are the 4 classifications of variability?

A

Absent
Minimal
Moderate
Marked

28
Q

Absent variability…

A

0 bpm, undetectable

29
Q

Minimal variability…

A

0-5 bpm

30
Q

Moderate variability…

A

6-25 bpm (desired range)

31
Q

Marked variability…

A

> 25 bpm (baby in v-fib)

32
Q

What defines accelerations?

A

Abrupt, temporary increase in FHR
15 x 15 for 33 wks or greater
10 x 10 if 32 wks or less

33
Q

The accel lasts longer than 2 min, but less than 10 min is called…

A

prolonged acceleration

34
Q

What happens when a prolonged accel is longer than 10 min?

A

Resets the baseline

35
Q

How many accels do you want on a 10 min strip?

A

at least 2

36
Q

What defines decelerations?

A

Decrease in FHR that drops below the baseline with or without a contraction

37
Q

Name the 3 types of decels?

A

Early
Variable
Late

38
Q

What is a periodic decel/accel?

A

occurs WITH a contraction

39
Q

What is a non-periodic decel/accel?

A

occurs WITHOUT a contraction

40
Q

Looks like a mirror image of a contraction, gradual descent from baseline and returns to baseline by the end of the contraction. Must be PERIODIC.

A

EARLY decel

41
Q

Abrupt rise and fall from baseline; looks like a V or W; at least drop of 15x15 but less than 2 min. PERIODIC or NON-PERIODIC.

A

VARIABLE decel

42
Q

FHR decreases often at the peak of contraction and returns to baseline AFTER the contraction has already ended. PERIODIC.

A

LATE decel

43
Q

What causes EARLY decels? Intervention?

A

head compression

no interventions

44
Q

What causes VARIABLE decels? Intervention?

A

cord compression, short cord, knot in cord prolapsed cord
Observe for prolapsed cord (emergency c-section if prolapsed)
Big 5 interventions

45
Q

What causes LATE decels? Intervention?

A

Uteroplacental insufficiency…fetus not reoxygenated quickly following contraction
Big 5 interventions
