Q

PASSAGEWAY : SOFT TISSUE

A

EFFACEMENT

  • thinning of cervix from 2-3 cm to 10 cm
  • 100% very thin
  • measured in %

DILATION

  • opening of cervix from being tightly closed to 10 cm
  • external and internal os becomes one
  • primatives efface before dilation
  • multives efface and dilate at same time

23
Q

4 CATEGORIES OF FETAL HEART RATE VARIABLITY

Study These Flashcards
A

ABSENT = NONE (STRAIGHT LINE )(BAD)

MINIMAL = <5 BEATS/MIN

MODERATE= 6-25 BEATS/MIN

MARKED = >25 BEATS/ MIN

24
Q

INTRAPARTUM : POWERS

Study These Flashcards
A

CONTRACTIONS:

DURATION: measured from beginning of 1 to it completion (sec)

INTENSITY : strength of contraction

FREQUENCY: measured from beginning of one contraction to beginning of the next

-as labor progresses DIF increases

25
3 STAGES OF LABOR
FIRST STAGE : contractions 5min apart and regular until full dilation SECOND STAGE: full dilation until birth THIRD STAGE : birth until placenta delivery
26
CONTRACTIONS
- when uterus contracts mom's oxygentated blood is decreased , relaxation allows for blood to refill - when the uterus contracts mom's BP goes up , blood volume increases (sponge)
27
EPIDURAL
- regional anesthetic - BP drops due to vascular relaxation - pt given 1L of fluid
28
AMNIOTIC FLUID
- mainly made of baby urine - fluid within amniotic membranes that is constantly produced - SROM: spontaneous rupture of membranes - AROM: artificial rupture of membranes - should be colorless, odorless, green = fetal distress (BM) - green indicates some type of fetal distress - fetal HR must be assessed upon ROM - when fluid is gone , body weight can crush umbilical cord ( decreased HR)
29
THREE STAGES OF FIRST STAGE LABOR
LATENT ACTIVE TRANSITION
30
LATENT PHASE
onset of true labor until dilation 0-3cm - don't go to hospital yet - preparatory phase
31
ACTIVE PHASE
4-7cm stronger contractions frequency decreased - women turn inward for comfort - don't lay down flat on back vena cava collapse ( decreased blood flow) - fetal HR every 2 HRS
32
TRANSISTION PHASE
8cm to 10cm | - behavior changes
33
VITALS TO MONITOR
pulse, HR ,RR, contractions , Temp(every HR) - hygiene - comfort - ice chips - wash cloths - pt centered care
34
COMFORT
- general hygiene - relaxation techniques - breathing techniques
35
COMFORT PHARMOCOLOGICAL
IV analgesia: butophanol, nalbuphine - unknown if main effect is analgesia or sedative - only in early active labor (respiratory depression for fetus)
36
RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION GREATEST RISK
- mainly to neonatal - naloxone on hand - impact on fetal heart rate ~ decreased variability ~ sinusoidal pattern
37
REGIONAL ANESTHISIA
- epidurals and spinals refer to evidence based care sheet - placed below spinal cord in epidural apace - placed after active labor has been established - may cause hypotension - position on side with foley cath inserted
38
WHAT DOES A EPIDURAL DO?
- diminish pain, sensation, and motor function | - position pt carefully to get optimum outcome of med
39
CESAREAN SECTION
- birth through an abdominal and uterine incision - Analgesia- spinal or epidural - foley catheter - SCD"s - positioning during procedure - presence of significant other - skin to skin with baby
40
INCISION TYPE
vertical - always has to have c- section with other kids | transverse- can have a v-back, preferred horizontal , uterus can rupture
41
PRE ECLAMPSIA
- new onset hypertension assoiciated with pregnancy after 20 weeks gestation with proteinuria - increased mortality and morbidity for mother and fetus
42
C-SECTION POST OP
immediate post op care typical post operative nursing care measures fundal assessment
43
TREATMENT OD PRE ECLAMPSIA
MAGNESIUM SULFATE - decreases neuro excitability - high risk drug - decreases risk of seizures - 4-6 grams loading dose over 15 min (stay in room ) - 1-3 gram/hr maintenance - vitals and fetal assessment q 15 for first hour, q30 for 2nd, and at least q hour during maintenance - deep tendon reflexes at least q 2 hours - urinary output q 1-2 hours (20-30mls) - oxygen sat q hour - if women aren't peeing out mag sulfate then women will stop breathing and die ( count RR if decrease stop med) - Calcium gluconate is annedote
44
PITOCIN: OXYTOCIN
- hormone given to increase uterine contractions - INTRAPARTUM: prescribed in milliunits via infusion pump to stimulate or augment labor -overdosage will decrease oxygen to fetus and result in fetal distress, fetal death, uterine rupture POSTPARTUM: prescribed in units on or off pump to contract empty uterus and decrease risk of postpartum bleeding
