Q

passenger: head

A

frontal, 2 parietal, 2 temporal, occipital bone (6 bones)
connected by 4 membranous sutures -> intersect at fontanelles, cone head disappears after 24 hrs (modeling), allow flexibility, delivery, brain growth
anterior = diamond, closes 12-18 mo
posterior = triangle, closes 6-8 wk

Q

cephalic - submentobregmatic

Study These Flashcards
A

face
previous births, bruise and edematous face

19
Q

passenger: presentation

Study These Flashcards
A

Cephalic: suboccipitobregmatic, occipitofrontal, occipitomental, submentobregmatic
breech
frank: hips flexed, knees extended, butt presents
complete: hips and knees flexed, thighs on abd, butt and feet first
footling: hips and legs extended, single or double foot
shoulder

20
Q

position

Study These Flashcards
A

R or L side of pelvis
landmark: occiput, mentum, sacrum, acromium process (scapula)
anterior, posterior, transverse

21
Q

position - station

Study These Flashcards
A

relationship of presenting park to ischial spines (0), above = -, below = +
engagement = presenting part at 0
ballotable = floating, not engaged

22
Q

powers - primary

Study These Flashcards
A

uterine muscular contractions until complete dilation, cause dilation and effacement
contraction: increment, acme, decrement
described with freq, duration, intensity
Involuntary

23
Q

powers - secondary

Study These Flashcards
A

abd pushing (bear down - ferguson) -> oxytocin, ferguson, stretch receptors
reduces blood flow (dont overdo), gravity (increase c strength), walk, squat, sit, kneel -> increase CO and blood flow to placenta, uterus, and kidneys; change position (help with fatigue, comfort, circulation)
Voluntary

24
Q

psyche

Study These Flashcards
A

fear and anx: pain of labor, loss of control, injury of self or infant
excitement: joy and anticipation
exhaustion (work, stress)
level of support: father, system
factors associated with

25
psyche - factors associated with positive birth experience
motivation for pregnancy, attendance at classes, sense of competence or mastery, self confidence/esteem, empowerment, maintaining control, relationship with partner, support, not being alone, trust in staff, personal control of breathing patterns, comfort measures, hcp with similar philosophy of care, clear info regarding procedures
26
abnormalities potentially affecting process of labor
passage: too small passenger: malpresentation position: posterior (occiput posterior) powers: inadequate psyche: fear, anx, poor support, exhaustion
27
premonitory s of impending labor
lightening: presenting part in true pelvis, gradual relive P on diaphragm, increased P on bladder braxton hicks: practice - mild and irregular, dont lead to cervical change cervical changes: effacement and dilation bloody show/expulsion of mucus plug: brown/blood tinged, concern if <37wk ROM (SROM) sudden burst of E = nesting weight loss = not hungry GI upset
28
true s of labor
regular contraction intervals, intervals shorten, contractions increase in duration and intensity, discomfort beings in back and radiates to abd, progressive dilation and effacement, contractions dont decrease with rest or warm bath
29
false s of labor
irregular contractions, no change in intervals, intensity, or duration; discomfort in abd, no change in dilation or effacement, rest and warm tub lessens contractions
30
stage 1
onset -> fully dilated
31
stage 1: latent
"early labor" nullipara = 8.6hr, multipara = 5.3 hr (these times can increase with scaring) dilation: 0-3cm contract q 10-30 min, 30 sec, mild-mod (25-40mmHg) Usually dilate faster than efface psych: cope with discomfort, relief to start, anx (recognize and express), increased excitement, eager to talk
32
stage 1: active
nulli = 4.6hr, multi = 2.4 hr dilate: 4-7 cm contractions q 2-5, 40-60s, mod-strong (50-70mmHg) psych: increased anx, need E and focus, fear loss of control, decreased ability to cope, helplessness, support = greater satisfaction and less anx
33
stage 1: transition
nulli = 3hr, multi = <1hr dilate: 8-10cm contract q 1.5-2min, 60-90s, strong (70-90mmHg) psych: withdraw into self, acutely aware of C intensity, doubt coping ability, apprehensive, restless, irritable, freq position change, scared of being alone, doesn't want to talk or touch
34
stage 2
"pushing stage" complete dilation and effacement -> birth urge to push, crowning nulli = up to 3hr, multi = <1 and avg 15 min contractions q 1.5-2min, 60-90s, strong (70-100) psych: relived pain is over, relived to push, control bc involved, frightened, fatigue kangaroo care = skin to skin (temp, HR, bonding, increase oxytocin, breast stim)
35
stage 2: mechanism of labor
Every Darn Fool In Egypt Eats Raw Eggs engagement (widest part of presenting part enters pelvis)-> descent (P of fluid, c, pushing effort, fetus extension, head moves down in pelvis) -> flexion (head and chin to chest, so smaller diameter presents) -> internal rotation (occiput transverse -> anterior, fetus turns to face spine) -> extension (occiput -> face -> chin, head extends for delivery under pubic bone) -> external rotation (head rotate to OT and shoulders align vertically with mom's pelvis) -> expulsion (birth, anterior shoulder delivers then posterior shoulder and rest of baby)
36
stage 3
birth -> placenta delivered no longer than 30 min (hemorrhage and placenta retention) oxytocin IV bolus after delivery of placenta to decreased blood loss fundal massage to see of continues to be firm S of placental separation: globular uterus rises in abd, gush or trickle of blood, increased protrusion of umbilical cord placental delivery: dirty duncan (meaty) vs shiny schultze (chorion and amnion)
37
stage 4
placental -> up to 4 hrs after birth vaginal delivery avg blood loss (250-500); c/s avg (<1000mL) promote bonding post anesthesia care: return of sensation, O2 sat check fundus and vaginal bleeding and perineum q15 for first hour, tempt at beginning and ending of recovery, bladder fullness, fam involvement, breast feed, kangaroo care physiologic readjust: thirst and hunger, bladder often hypotonic (I&O cath, bed pan, can displace uterus), uterus remains contracted (midline, btw symphysis pubis and umbilicus), shaking 1-2 hrs after birth (CNS response, fluid and heat loss - warm blanket)
38
laboring down
passive, letting baby drop before pushing
39
biparietal diameter
largest transverse diameter of fetal skull
40
Passage - determinants for possible vaginal birth
Pelvic inlet diameter, mid pelvis and outlet, curve of sacrum
