Question
Answer
dystocia   (blank)  
🗑
dystocia   long, difficult , abnormal labor  
🗑
causes of dystocia   dysfunctional labbor, alteration in pelvic structure, fetal causes (size, position), maternal position (best squatting), phychological responses  
🗑
when is dystocia suspected   lack of progress in rate of cervical dilation, fetal decent, or problems with uterine contractions  
🗑
dysfunctional labor   abnormal uterine contractions that prevent dilation, effacement, descent  
🗑
primary dysfunctional labor   hypertonic contractions, anxious primagravida having painful contractions  
🗑
management of primary dysfunctional labor   theraputic rest, analgesics (morphine and demerol) to reduce pain  
🗑
secondary uterine inertia   hypotonic  
🗑
secondary uterine inertia   hypotonic contractions, that decrease in strength dropping uterine tone below normal contractions. occurs in active phase, secondary uterine inerita, most common  
🗑
management of secondary uterine inertia   R/O CPD, goal to increase quality of uterine contractions. rest, fluids for mom, amniotomy, oxytocin, if fetal distress, or CPD (head too big)or CS  
🗑
stage 2 dystocia   ineffective expulsive force- inability to push related to too much anesthesia, fatigue or pain  
🗑
epidural window   3-7 cm  
🗑
precipitous labor   labor of 3 hours or less, related to lack of resistance in maternal tissue, large pelvis small baby, extra strong contractions, possible uterine rupture, lacerations, ppossible asphyxia to baby  
🗑
alterations in pelvic structure   d/t car wreck, genetic abnormality (rickets, neoplasm, MVA-C-section most often necessary  
🗑
fetal causes of dystocia   fetal size, malpresentation, position, leads to low forceps delivery, vacuum extraction, or c- section  
🗑
hydrocyphallis   water on brain (spinobifida)  
🗑
rickets   lack of vitamin D  
🗑
CPD   usually related to macrosomic infant. shoulder stuck after head born, shoulder dystocia. Mc roberts maneuver to deliver  
🗑
fetal mal position   ROP-LOP change moms position frequently, pressure on sacrum may reduce pain, hands and knee position, or lateral pushing may facilitate birth  
🗑
fetal malpresentation   breech (most common)  
🗑
for Breech management   C-section most often, greatest danger of vaginal delivery is prolapsed cord  
🗑
brow and face presentations   cause L and D complications and sometimes bonding problems if face bruised  
🗑
multiple pregnancies   early diagnosis to improve fetal outcome  
🗑
macrosomic   baby>8lbs 13 oz (bigger baby)  
🗑
high risks associated with multiple pregnancies   premature labor, PIH, abnormal presentation, hydramnios, uterine dysfunction  
🗑
prenatal care for multiple pregnancies   see dr. more often Q 2 weeks in 2nd trimester, Q 1 week in 3rd trimester.  
🗑
position multipple preg.   maternal position can enhance or impede the progress of labor. Having mom restricted to lying on her bed can work against her  
🗑
psyche   anxiety/ stress/ excessive labor result prolonged painful labor. Doulas, coaches, staff, help to relax and enhance positioning and support  
🗑
external cephalic version   attempt to convert fetal position to favorable one, externally, proceedure done under ultrasound, continual monitoring. Give Ritodrine (relax uterus), fetus meneuvered into vertex position, 35 to 38 weeks to turn  
🗑
induction   initiation of uterine contractions before their spontaneous onset for the purpose of bringing on birth  
🗑
indications to induce   PIH (pregnancy induced hypertension) DM, postterm gestation (old placenta) fetal distress, distance from hospital  
🗑
bishop score   compare 5 items, cervical dilation, effacement, position, consistency, station of fetal head  
🗑
bishop scoring   total of 13 possible, 9 or more good for nullipara, 5 or more for a multip  
🗑
chemical & mechanicial methods of induction   cervical ripening, amniotomy. oxytocin, augmentation, episiotomy, pitocin  
🗑
prostaglandin gel (cervidil)   ripening of cervix  
🗑
amniotomy   artificial rupture of membranes, assess fluid for color, consistancy, odor, quantity, record time of rupture, FHR assessed prior and after proceedure (checking for prolapsed cord) maternal temp monitored for infection  
🗑
oxytocin administration   goal to achieve contractions 2-3 min apart lasting 45 seconds. follow strict protocol nurse can give medication, MD responcible  
🗑
pitocin   discontinued if contractions longer than 90 seconds, abnormal fetal HR patterns, significant maternal blood pressure changes.  
🗑
contraindications for induction of labor   any situation in which delivery should not be accomplished or which would cause uterine rupture, or hem., activer herpes, placenta previa, fetal distress  
🗑
augmentation   stimulation of uterine contractions if progress unsatisfactory  
🗑
episiotomy   surgical incision of perineal body done to enhance birth of fetus  
🗑
most commonm episiotomy   midline, with medial-lateral helpful when a longer epis. is necessary. more comfortable , heals quicker  
🗑
forceps delivery   provide traction, rotation  
🗑
low-forceps delivery   facilitate outlet delivery  
🗑
mid-forceps   can deliver head at ischial spine, head must be totally engaged, membranes ruptured, vertex presentation, adequate maternal anesthesia  
🗑
vacuum extraction   suction used to deliver fetal head, intermittent suction  
🗑
Cesarean Delivery   delivery through abdominal uterine incision  
🗑
indications for C section   malpresentation, CPD, fetal distress, placental accidents  
🗑
types of c sections   skin incisions/ transverse (bikini)  
🗑
Ritodrine   med used to relax uterus  
🗑
amniocentesis   to test lung maturity L:S ratio, 35 weeks  
🗑
induction done because   PIH, and sometimes coonvenience  
🗑
vertical incision   transverse, thinnest, least blood loss, preferable for VBAC, best for twins, abnormal presentation, placenta previa, fetal distress, disadvantage, takes longer  
🗑
Nursing care for c section   provide information, support for breastfeeding, encourage and inform momm regarding PCA catheter, TEDS, breathing and coughing and diet  
🗑
