Q

uterus assess

A

Uterus
* Assess the fundus to determine degree of involution
* If possible have the mom empty her bladder beforehand
* Use a 2 handed approach with the woman laying completely at (supine)
* To palpate the uterus, the upper hand is cupped over the fundus; the
lower hand stabilizes the uterus at the symphysis pubis
* Document the location and tone.
* The fundus should be rm and midline, roughly at umbilicus during initial
postpartum period, then decreasing by a ngerbreadth below per day

Q

bladder assess

A

Bladder
* Considerable diuresis can occur in the days following birth (up to 3 L)
* Ask the mom if she is voiding, experiencing any burning, diculty voiding / or
emptying her bladder, any urgency or frequency, any leakage of urine
(laughing / coughing)
* The bladder can be palpated for distention, or percussed for dullness

Q

lochia assess

A

Lochia
* Assess the amount – how many pads she
is using, assess amount on pad & when it
was last changed
* Assess the color – is it dark red, pink,
brown?
* Is there any unusual or foul odour?
* Is she passing any clots, and if so what
size are they?
* Larger clots can indicate poor uterine involution
* The amount of lochia is documented as
follows:
* Scant: 2.5-5 cm stain on pad
* Small: up to 10 cm stain on pad
* Moderate: 10-15 cm stain on pad
* Large: the pad is saturate within an hour
* A red flag is if the mom reports that she
is saturating a pad in less than an hour!
* Moms who have a c-section often have
much less lochia

50
maternal oxygenation/ blood flow
Maternal circulation delivers oxygenated blood to placenta, from placenta to umbilical cord, to fetal circulation O2 delivery to the fetus is via the uterine arteries to the uterus, from the uterus through the placenta, and from the placenta to the fetus via the umbilical vein. Uterine and placental blood flow are decreased with each uterine contraction This leads to a temporary decrease in placental O2 exchange Uterine relaxation returns uterine perfusion and placental O2 exchange resumes
51
Intermittent Auscultation of FHR
Utilize Leopold’s Maneuver's to find the fetal back Use doppler, pinard, or transducer to auscultate the fetal heart rate Palpate the maternal pulse Listen for a full minute immediately following a contraction Assess rate, rhythm, presence of accelerations and decelerations
52
Intermittent Auscultation of FHR
Preferred method of FHR assessment, utilized for all pregnant patients unless high risk Assess FHR via IA Q1H in latent labour Q15-30 min in active labour Q5 min in second stage of labour with active pushing After any invasive procedure, or any potential changes in the intrauterine environment, such as rupture of membranes, vaginal examinations, or administration of PRN medications
53
Benefits of IA
Less costly Less restrictive for the woman (permits increased freedom of movement) Adaptable to varied labor positions and practices Lower intervention rates, compared with EFM, without compromising neonatal outcome
54
Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring externally
Most common. Uses an ultrasound transducer placed over the fetal back to receive the heart rate and transforms these into wave forms. A pressure-sensitive transducer (tocodynamomter) is placed over the maternal fundus to record uterine activity.
55
Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring internally
Scalp electrode is “screwed” onto the fetal presenting part. Can also involve the insertion of a pressure-sensitive catheter through the vagina and into the uterine cavity to asses contractions.
56
baseline FHR during labour
Approximate FHR during a 10 minute segment Rounded to 5 bpm increments Baseline duration- minimum 2 minutes per 10 minutes Normal: 110-160 bpm ( age appropriate ) Changes: must be maintained > 10 minutes to be a baseline change
57
Fetal Heart Rate Tachycardia
Causes: Drugs: amphetamines, cocaine, Maternal Hyperthyroidism Maternal or fetal anemia Fetal supraventricular tachycardia Fetal Cardiac abnormalities or heart failure Acute or chronic fetal hypoxemia Maternal or fetal infections (chorioamnionitis) Catecholamine ( stress )
58
Fetal Heart Rate Bradycardia
FHR < 110 bpm Mild: 100- 110 bpm Marked: < 100 bpm hypoxia
59
absent FHR
Absent: amplitude range undetectable (< 2 bpm)
60
minimal
Minimal: amplitude 2-5 bpm
61
moderate fhr
Moderate or average: amplitude 6-25 bpm
62
marked fhr
Marked , increased, saltatory pattern: > 25 bpm. usually seen in second stage of labour. indicate hypoxia. GET BABY OUT PUSH
63
Baseline Tachycardia
Definition: FHR > 160 bpm for > 10 minutes Mild: 160-180 bpm Marked or Severe: > 180 bpm
64
Accelerations
Abrupt, transient increase in FHR <2 minutes duration <32 wks—10x10—increase of FHR at least 10 bpm above baseline for at least 10 seconds >32 wks—15x15—increase of FHR at least 15 bpm above baseline for at least 15 seconds Are a sympathetic response means the sympathetic nervous system is intact – good news!!! Result of Fetal movement or stimulation (e.g., Scalp stimulation, palpate maternal abdomen) Reaction to contractions
65
if an acceleration lasts longer than 10 minutes....
new baseline fhr
66
fetal accelerations tell us
the cns in intact
67
late decelerations
uterine placental deficiency, prob with uterine perfusion, activity, placenta or both. lead to hypoxia or myocardial depression. Hypoxia can lead to acidosis
68
prolonged decelerations
15beat variation, lasting between 2-10mins but returning to baseline. caused by any mechanism. hypoxia. cord depression, contraction problems, etc. BELOW 100 causes for intervention. below 60 is emergency
69
intrauterine Resuscitation Measures
Improving uterine perfusion Increasing maternal cardiac output will improve uterine perfusion  Lateral positioning of the mother  Correction of maternal hypotension Administration of intravenous fluids Administration of pressor agents (ephedrine 5-10mg IV push Elevation of the legs or Trendelenberg position.  Reduction of uterine activity Increasing oxygen transfer Promoting umbilical cord flow Maternal position change Stop pushing Amnioinfusion Increasing fetal cerebral blood flow Other (e.g. operative or cesarean delivery)
70
as the nurse you will" for intrauterine resus measures
Repositioning or lateral positioning of mother Reversal of hypotension (IV bolus) Stop oxytocin Administer O2 @ 8-10 l/min) Decrease frequency of pushing Vaginal examination to assess labor progress Observe for meconium Maternal V/S and condition Reassure patient Systematic assessment of EFM and whole clinical picture Notify charge nurse Call care provider for immediate re-evaluation of mother Anticipate fetal scalp sampling Anticipate tocolytics Anticipate preparations for urgent or emergent operative birth or cesarean section
71
Fetal blood sampling
done by doc Assess the pH or Lactate build up less than 4.1 lactate and greater than 7.25 ph normal 4.2-4.8 and 7.1-7.24 border line greater than 4.9 and less than 7'20 abnormal
72
documentation and communication intrauterine resus
Consistent, proper terminology Demonstrate nursing process ( ADPIE- assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation). When atypical or abnormal FHR patterns are identified, document the return to normal. Seek clarification Confirm with the RN or your instructor prior to charting Always explore how the FHR correlates with the clinical picture NEVER alter notes later Practice!!
