Q

how to decide on cs or vaginal delivery for breech

A

24-32 wks: planned cs better
32-37 wks: depends on fetal weight

vaginal breech if weight >2500 g

16
Q

cardinal rule in partial breech extraction

A

steady, gentle, downward traction until the lower halves of the scapulas are delivered, making no attempt at delivery of the shoulders and arms until one axilla becomes visible

17
Q

maneuvers to deliver head

A
  • maureiceau maneuver : fingers on maxilla to flex the head, downward action
  • modified prague maneuver when fetal back down
  • pipers forceps / divergent laufe forceps
18
Q

maneuvers for trapped head

A
duhrssen incision: incision at 2:00 and 10:00 position
iv nitroglycerin 100 ug
general anesthesia
zavanelli maneuver
symphysiotomy
19
Q

t/f the forceps blased are not applied until the aftercoming head has been brought into the pelvis by gentle traction, combined with suprapubic pressure and is engaged

A

true

20
Q

maneuver where two fingers will push knee away from midline and spontaneous flexion of extremity follows

A

pinard maneuver used in

breech decomposition

21
Q

t/f death is higher in planned cs deliveries for breech

A

true

22
Q

t/f umbilical cord prolapse is more frequent in breech than cephalic

A

true

23
Q

t/f hip dysplasia is more common in cephalic than breech

A

false

24
Q

maneuvers where fetal presentation is altered by physical manipulation either by substituting one pole of a longitudinal presentation for the other, or converting an oblique or transverse lie into a longitudinal presentation

A

version, can be external or internal

25
Q

when can version be done

A

before labor, at 36 wks aog but not earlier

before 36 wks, breech presentation can still spontaneously be corrected

26
Q

contraindications for ecv

A
placenta previa
non reassuring fetal status
rupture of membranes
uterine malformation
multifetal gestation
recent uterine bleeding
previous uterine incision
27
Q

when is ipv done

A

delivery of a second twin with membranes still intact

28
Q

usual reasons for cs delivery

A

prior cs delivery
dystocia
fetal jeopardy
abnormal fetal presentation

29
Q

timing of delivery for cs

A

before 39 weeks

30
Q

techniques for abdominal incisions

A
pfannenstiel incisions (transverse)
vertical incision
31
Q

advantages and disadvantages of pfannenstiel incisions

A

a: low postop pain, low fascial wound dehisence, low rates of incisional hernia
d: not advisable of large operating space, high infection rate, neurovascular damage, re-entry difficult

32
Q

advantages and disadvantages of vertical abdomen incisions

A

a: quick entry, minimal blood loss, superior access to upper abdomen, generous op room
d: poor cosmetic results, higher fascial dehisence or incisional hernia rates, greater post-op pain

33
Q

hysterotomy techniques

A
kerr incision (transverse)
kronig incision (vertical)
classical (vertical above lus)
34
Q

most frequently selected vs transverse incision of choice

A

most frequent: pfannenstiel

transverse of choice: joel-cohen (finger dissection)

35
Q

what is misgav ladach technique

A

closes the myometrium with single-layer locking continuous suture

36
Q

indications for peripartum hysterectomy

A
uterine atony
abnormal placenta
uterine extension / rupture
cervical laceration
postpartum uterine infection
leiomyoma
invasive cervical cancer
