Before internal fetal monitoring can be performed

Back 25

cervix must be dilated at least 2 cm, the amniotic membranes must be ruptured, and the fetus’s presenting part (scalp or buttocks) must be at station –1 or lower

Electronic fetal monitoring is used to assess fetal well-being during labor. If compromised fetal status is suspected,

fetal blood pH may be evaluated by obtaining a scalp sample.

Front 31

After delivery, a multiparous woman is more susceptible to bleeding than a primiparous woman

Back 31

because her uterine muscles may be overstretched and may not contract efficiently.

cephalopelvic disproportion

Back 44

An arrest of descent occurs when the fetus doesn’t descend through the pelvic cavity during labor. It’s commonly associated with cephalopelvic disproportion, and cesarean delivery may be required.

increases the risk of a prolapsed umbilical cord.

For an extramural delivery (one that takes place outside of a normal delivery center), the priorities for care of the neonate include maintaining a patent airway, supporting efforts to breathe, monitoring vital signs, and maintaining adequate body temperature.
