obstetrical maneuvers Flashcards
(25 cards)
common classification of obstet maneuvers
mutation/correction
forced extraction
change of presentation, position or posture to bring the fetus to a normal presentation, position and posture
mutation/correction
all are reqs prior to performing mutation except
Complete dilation of the cervix;
movement of fetus in uterus and pelvis;
complete dilation of the vagina
rupture of fetal envelopes and adequate lubrication;
complete dilation of the vagina
Prevent abdominal contractions wc can push fetus further into the birth canal without any progress
caudal epidural
longer obstet chain are used in __ while short ones are for __
shoulders
pastern
process of Returning fetus back to the uterus or Pushing fetus forward in uterus to obtain adequate space for correction of fetal part in an abnormal presentation, position and posture
retropulsion
useful instrument for ortation or retropulsion
kuhn’s crutch
U-shape leverage used in rotation
Kuhn’s crutch
rotation-retropulsion is done when the uterus and abdomen contracts T/F
Do this when the uterus relaxes, when the abdomen is not contracting
Accdg to dr. modomo admin of this causes the fetus to float
vegetable oil
How to handle dystocia in mare
Hang mare upside down with a lot of lubricant
done when fetus has positional problems
rotation
What position is the goal of rotation
dorsosacral position
instrument used doing rotation
cammerer’s detorsion fork
done when fetus has presentation problems
version
done to Effect change in fetal presentation
version
what technique will be used if fetus is in transverse position
version
change to longitudinal
version is Usually limited to __° and can be done by repelling one extremity of the fetus and exerting traction on the othe
90
T.F the one to be pushed is the chains while the one to be pulled is the repeller
baliktas
moving the head of the fetus towards the pelvic inlet
anterior or cephalic version
posterior parts of the fetus are moved towards the pelvic inlet
Posterior or pelvic version
technique done when fetus has postural problems
extension and flexion
Partial movements which consists of extension or flexion of limbs, head and neck that are used for correction of postural abnormalities
extension and flexion
all of the ff are involved in extension and flexion maneuver except:
a. Repulsion of proximal extremity of limb
b. Retropulsion of the proximal extremity of the limb
c. Lateral rotation of middle portion carpus, tarsus or neck, and
d. Traction on distal extremities
