  2. Gush of blood
  3. Uterine fundal rebound
22
Q

What constitutes the second-degree perineal laceration?

A

Laceration extends into the perineal body and spares the anal canal sphincter

23

Factor that may cause prolonged occiput transverse presentation?

A

Epidural analgesia

25
Q

Which is the most common site of laceration after labor and delivery ?

A

Perineum

26
Q

Degree of laceration involving internal anal sphincter but not the rectal mucosa?

A

Third degree laceration ( IIIC )

27
Q

What antibiotic will you give as a single dose at the time of repair of a fourth degree laceration?

A

2 nd gen Cephalosporins or Clindamycin for penicillin allergic women

28
Q

Shortest AP diameter of the pelvic inlet ?

Pelvis type that has <12 cm transverse diameter inlet ?

A

Anthropoid

30
Q

Presentation if a fetal extremity presents along side the vertex or breech?

A

Compound extremity / presentation

31
Q

  3. 85% within 48 hrs +10
  4. 95% within 72 hrs
32
Q

What is the proposed pathophysiology of PROM?

A

Pathogenic bacteria causes premature release of collagenase

33
Q

A 25 yo G1P0 consulted for premature contractions which persist even after resting. However, she never had any previous prenatal check ups with you.

35
Q

What is the relation of the fetal head to the ischial spines of the female pelvis?

A

36
Q

What is the purpose of flexion in labor?

A

Allows the smallest diameter of the fetal head to pass the ischial spines.
