Abruptio Placentae
|
Detachment of part or all or all of the placenta from its implantation site. PAINFUL bleeding. Hypertonus (firm abdomen that does not relax and stay tight) may be present.
Can be associated with: Gestational HTN, previous abruption, trauma, cocaine. |
|
TORCH
|
T: toxoplasmosis - multisystem disease caused by protozoan toxoplasma
O: other - gonorrhea, sysphilis, varicella, Hep B, HIV R: Rubella C: Cytomegalovirus H: Herpes simplex virus |
|

Male and female partners and their children live as an independent unit, sharing roles, responsibilities, and economic resources.
|
|

Single-parent family
|
comprise an unmarried biological or adoptive parent who may or may not be living with other adults.

5 P's of Labor and Delivery
|
Passenger: Baby; determined by size of the fetal head, fetal presentation, fetal lie, fetal attitude and fetal presentation
Passageway: Birth canal; composed of bony pelvis, cerix, pelvic floor, vagina and introitus. Powers: primary and secondary Position Psychological |
|
Fetal Presentation
|
part of the fetus that enters the pelvic inlet first and leads throught the birth canal during labor. Cephalic, breech, and shoulder.
|
|
Fetal Lie
|
relation of the long axis (spine) of the fetus to the long axis (spine) of the mother.
|
|
Fetal Attitude
|
relation of the fetal body parts to each other.
General flexion is the norm. |
|
Fetal Position
|
relation of the presenting part to the four quadrants of the mother's pelvis.
Denoted by three part abbreviation. |
|
Fetal Station
|
relation of the presenting part of the fetus to an imaginary line drawn between the maternal ischial spines and is a measure of the degree of descent of the presenting part through the birth canal.
|
|
Engagement
|
indication that the largest diameter of the presenting part has passed through the maternal pelvis (0 station)
|
|
4 basic types of pelvis'
|
Gynecoid: classic female type
Android: resembles the male pelvis Anthropoid: resembles the pelvis of anthropoid apes Platypelloid: flat pelvis |
|
Primary powers
|
involuntary uterine contractions. Responsible for effacement and dilation of the cervix.
|
|
Secondary powers
|
bearing down efforts that aid in expulsion of the fetus as the diaphragm is contracted.
|
|
True labor
|
Contractions occur regularly and become more intense with walking; usually felt in the lower back and radiating to lower abdomen.
Cervix show progressive change and moves to an increasingly anterior position. Presenting part usually becomes engaged in the pelvis. Lightening. |
|
False labor
|
Contractions occur irregularly and often stop with ambulation or position change. Can be felt in back or abdomen above the navel.
Cervix may be soft but no significant change in dilation or effacement. Presenting part usually not engaged in the pelvis. |
|
Stage 1: Latent
|
0-3cm dilation
100% effacement Contractions q 5-30min Lasts an average of 8-9hrs |
|
Stage 1: Active
|
4-7cm dilation
contractions q 2-3min change position frequently empty bladder frequently |
|
Stage 1: Transition
|
8-10cm dilation
contractions q 2-3min urge to push trembling N/V |
|
Stage 2
|
Latent: resting, 'laboring down'
Active: pushing, 'spontaneous/purple pushing' Transition: delivery |
|
Stage 3
|
Delivery of the placenta. Lasts from 5min-1hr.
|
|
Stage 4
|
Return of body to homeostasis. Parent-infant bonding begins.
|
|
When are induction warranted?
|
post term (>42 wks), scheduling, timing, convenience, Gestational HTN, diabetes, etc.
|
|
Bishops score
|
Rating system to evaluate induciility fo the cervix; a higher score increases the rate of successful induction of labor.
|
|
Gate Control Theory
|
According to this theory, pain sensations travel along sensory nerve pathways to the brain, but only a limited number of sensations, or messages, can travel through these nerve pathways at one time. Using distraction techniques such as massage or stroking, nusic, focal points, and imagery reduce or completely block the capacity of nerve pathways to transmit pain.
