effacement),is the interval between the onset of labor,(,from the begining of regular contracions which occur every 10 minutes,from the moment of rupture of membranes,),and full cervical dilatation,(10 cm),-the latent phase which comprises cervical,effacement and early cervical dilatation,(to 3-4 cm),-the accelerated phase,(from 5 to 7 cm),-the transition phase,(from 8 to 10 cm),Stages of labor,The second stage,(the period of expulsion),lasts from complete cervical dilatation till the delivery of the infant,The third stage,(the placental stage),begins immediately after delivery of the infant and ends with the delivery of the placenta,The fourth stage,is defined as the early postpartum period of approximately 2 hours after delivery of the placenta.During this period the patient undergoes significant physiologic adjustment and must be under close medical control,Abnormal labor-dystocia,(difficult labor),It results when:,-anatomic or functional abnormalities of the fetus,-abnormalities of the maternal bony pelvis,-abnormalities of the uterus and cervix,-or combination of these abnormalities,interfere with the normal course of labor,Abnormal labor describes complications of the normal labor process:,slower than normal progress or a cessation of progress,Abnormal labor(or dystocia)is divided into:,-prolongation disorders-arrest disorders,Patterns of abnormal labor-dystocia:A prolonged latent phase,A latent phase of labor is abnormal when it lasts 20 hours in primigravid patients 14 hours in multigravid patientsThe causes of such situation:-abnormal fetal position-unripe cervix”-administration of excess anesthesia-fetopelvic disproportion-disfunctional uterine,contractions,A prolnged latent phase does not itself pose a danger to the mother or fetus.,Some patients who are initially thought to have a prolonged latent phase turn out only to have false labor.,Patterns of abnormal labor-dystocia:A prolonged active phase,An active phase is abnormal when it lasts longer than:,-12 h in the primigravid patients,-6 h in the multigravid patients,or when the rate of cervical dilatation is less than,-1,2 cm/h in primigravid patients,-1,5 cm/h for multiparas,or when descend of the presenting part is less than,-1,0 cm/h for primigravidas,-1,5 cm/h for multiparas,Causes of prolonged active phase:,-abnormal fetal position-fetopelvic disproportion-excessive use of sedation-inadequate contractions-rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of active labor,Patterns of abnormal labor-dystocia:Arrest disorders:,Secondary arrest of dilatation:,no cervical dilatation for 2 h in any case in the active phase of labor,Arrest of descend:,no descent of the presenting part in 1 h in the second stage of labor,It occurs when:,-the contractions are no longer sufficient to maintain the progress of labor orthe labor arrests in spite of adequate uterine contractions associated with:-too large fetus-fetal lie or position that prevents progress in labor-too small or abnormally shaped pelvis,Correct diagnosis and management of abnormal labor requires evaluation of the mechanisms of labor:,-the power(uterine contractions)-the passenger(fetal factors-presentation,size)-the passage(maternal pelvis),Evaluation of the power includes:,strenght,duration and frequency of uterine contractions,-,manual palpation of the maternal abdomen during,a contraction,(subjective evaluation),-external tocography,(more objective)-a tocodynamometer is an,external strain gauge,which is placed on the maternal abdomen,it records,when the uterus tightnes and relaxes but does not directly measure how,much force the uterus is generating for a given contraction,-internal tocography,(the most objective)-an intrauterine pressure,catether is placed into the uterine cavity and it transmits the actual,intrauterine pressure to the external strain gauge,which then records,duration and frequency as well as the strength of the contractions,For cervical dilatation to occur,each contraction must generate at least 25 mm Hg of pressure.The optimal intrauterine pressure during contraction is 50-60 mm Hg.In generating a normal labor pattern the frequency of contractions is also very important.A minimum three contractions in a 10 minute window is usually considered adequate.,During the first stage of labor arrest of labor should not be diagnosed until the cervix is at least 4 cm dilated(before ending the latent phase of labor).During the second stage of labor,the power”include both,the uterine contractile forces and the voluntary maternal expulsive efforts(pussing),Evaluation of the passenger,This includes:,-estimation of,the,expected fetal weight,clinical evaluation of,fetal lie,presentation,position,If the estimated fetal weight is 4000 g the incidence of dystocia,including shoulder dystocia or fetopelvic disproportion is greater.,Cephalopelvic disproportion is a disparity between the size or shape of the maternal pelvis and the fetal head,If the fetal head is extended a larger cephalic diameter(32 cm)is presented to the pelvis,therby increasing the possibility of dystociaA brow,presentation,(forehead-,the largest cephalic diameter is 36 cm,)(1/3000 deliveries)typically converts to either a vertex or face presentation,but if persistent,causes dystocia requiring cesarean section.,A face presentation also requires cesarean section,in most cases,although a mentum anterior presentation(chin toward mothers abdomen)sometimes may be delivered vaginally.,Persistent occiput posterior positions are also associated with longer labors(about 1 hour in multiparous patients and 2 hours in nulliparous patients)Fetal anomalies like hydrocephaly and soft tissue tumors may also cause dystocia.The use of prenatal ultrasound significantly reduces the incidence of unexpected dystocia for these reasons.,Evaluation of the passage,Measurements of the bony pelvis are relatively poor predictors of successful vaginal delivery.It depends on the inaccuracy of these measurements as well as case-by-case differences in fetal accomodation and mechanisms of labor.Only in rare cases,when the pelvis is completely contracted”(the pelvic diameters are very small)manual evaluation of the diameters of the pelvis can predict that the fetus will not passage the birth canal,.,In some cases the X-ray or computed tomographic pelvimetry can be helpful,but the best test of pelvic adeqacy is the progress or lack of progress of descending of the fetal presenting part in the birth canal.Except the bony pelvis,there are soft tissues causes of dystocia,such as:,-distended bladder or colon,-adnexal mass-uterine fibroid,Management of abnormal labor,Augmentation,of labor is the stimulation of uterine contractions that began spontaneously but are either too infrequent or too weak,or both.,Induction,of labor is the stimulation of uterine contractions before the spontaneous onset of labor,with the goal of achieving delivery.,Stimulation or induction of labor is usually carried out with intravenous oxytocin(sometimes prostaglandines)administrated by means of metered pump.The incidence of prolongation of the first stage of labor can be minimized by avoiding unnecessary intervention,i.e:labor should not be induced when the cervix is not well prepared or ripe(softened,anteriorly rotated,partially effaced),The Bishop score is used to quantify the degree of cervical ripening and readiness for labor.,A score of,0 to 4 points,is associated with the highest likelihood of failed induction.A score of,9 to 13 points,is associated with the highest likelihood of successful induction,Induction of labor is indicated if the anticipated benefits of delivery exceed the risks of allowing the pregnancy to continue,Indications,Post-term pregnancy,Maternal medical problems,Pregnancy-induced hypertension,Premature rupture of membranes,Chorioamnionitis,Contraindications,Placenta or vasa previa,Cord presentation,Abnormal/unstable fetal lie,Prior two or more cesarean sections,Prior classical uterine incision,Prior uterine incision of unknown type,Active genital herpes,When the cervix is unripe,Prostaglandin E,2,(Prepidil,Propess)is administrated intracervically or to the posterior fornix of the vagina.In the majority of these cases labor begins without the need of oxytocin stimulation.,A prolonged latent phase can be managed by either,rest,or,augmentation of labor,with intravenous oxytocin after excluding mechanical factors.,If the patient is allowed to rest,one of following will occur:-the conractions can stop,in which case the patient is not in labor(false labor)-the contractions can become more frequent and intensive,in which case the patient will go into active labor-the contractions may be as before,in which case oxytocine may be administrated to augment the uterine contractions,The use of amniotomy,(artificial rupture of membranes),is also advocated with prolonged latent phase.After amniotomy the fetal head will provide a better dilating force than would the intact bag of waters.Additionaly there may be a release of prostaglandines,which could aid in augmenting the force of contractions.The risk of amniotomy is:-an umbilical cord prolapse,(the presenting part should be firmly applied to the cervix),-abruption of the placenta-intrauterine infection,In the active phase of labor mechanical factors such as,abnormal position or presentation,as well as,fetopelvic disproportion,must be considered before use of oxytocin.If the woman is tired which results in secondary arrest of dilation,rest followed by augmentation with oxytocin,is often effective.,Artificial rupture,of the membranes is also recommended.,Risks of prolonged laborMaternal Fetal,infection,maternal exhaustion,lacerations,uterine rupture,uterine atony with possible hemorrhage,asphyxia,trauma,infection,cerebral damage,Prolonged labor is associated with the passage of meconium into the amniotic fluid and subsequently the risk of meconium aspiration syndrome(MAS).,Fetuses who inhale meconium-stained fluid during labor may suffer this syndrom,which includes both mechanical obstruction and chemical pneumonitis from the meconium material.Pathologic factors include:-atelectasis-consolidation-barotrauma-removal of pulmonary surfactant by free fatty acids,Amniodilution is a method of intrapartum treatment of meconium-stained amniotic fluid.A normal saline solution is slowly infused through a tube inserted in the uterus,washing meconium-stained fluid out and replacing it with the saline solution.As the fetal head is delivered,but before delivery of the fetal chest,suctioning of the nasopharynx should be performed.After delivery of the fetus suctioning out of meconium in the deeper parts of respiratory tract(below the vocal cords)must be done.,Techniques of operative delivery include:-obstetric forceps-vacuum extraction-cesarean section,The purpose of the forceps maneuver is to:,1.augment the forces expelling the fetus when the mothers voluntary efforts in conjunction with uterine contractions are insufficient to deliver the infant,and eventually to:,2.rotate the fetal head in the birth canal,if it isnt completely rotated,Necessary conditions to apply forceps,:,CervixFully dilated,MembranesRuptured,Position and station of fetal headKnown and engaged,Feto-pelvic disproportionExcluded,FetusAlive,Forceps Classification,Outlet forceps-the fetal skull has reached the perineal floor,the scalp is visable between contractions,the sagittal suture is in the anteposterior diameter,Low forceps-the leading point of fetal skull is+2 station or more,Midforceps-the head is engaged but the leading point of the skull is above+2 station,High forceps-the head is high above inlet and isnt engaged,the leading point of the skull above 0,(not performed in current obstetrics),To avoid the potential risk of trauma to both maternal and fetal parts application of obstetric forceps should be performed by an experienced clinician,Before application of the forceps the physician should reassess the fetal position.The neonatologist should be notified in advance,before application of the forceps.Forceps should be applied only after the cervix is completely dilated and if there is no evidence of cephalopelvic disproportion.Forceps sshould be applied only(!)after the biparietal diameter has passed through the inlet,and the skull has passed below the ischial spines.,After delivery the genital tract and infant should be examined carefully.Potential risks:-lacerations of:the cervix,vagina,perineum,bladder and rectum-injuries of the fetus:intracranial hemorrhage,skull fracture,brachial plexus injury,cephalhematoma,facial paralysis,clavicular fracture,Vaccum extraction,This maneuver is similar to forceps delivery.,Its purpose is to augment the forces expelling the fetus when the mothers voluntary efforts in conjunction with uterine contractions are insufficient to deliver the infant.,Advantages of the vacuum extractor include:,-less force applied to the fetal head,-reduced anesthesia requirements,-easier aplication,-less perineal trauma,the ability to permit the head to find its path out,of the maternal pelvis,Disadvantages of the vacuum extractor include:,-the application of traction only during contractions-limitation of its use only to term infant-prolonged delivery in comparison to forceps delivery,The head must be engaged and the membranes must be ruptured.There is no danger of catching vaginal mucosa or cervical tissue between the vacuum and the fetal head.Traction should be applied during the contraction with the mother bearing down.A safety feature of the vacuum cup is its inability to remain on the fetal head during excess traction which may occur during forceps delivery.,Cesarean section,About 20-25%of gravidas are now delivered by cesarean section.Appropximately two-thirds of these procedures are perforemd after the onset of labor.,In elective or not very emergency situations such as,-abnormal presentation-placenta previa without bleeding-large fetus-abnormal pelvis-some maternal diseases-prolonged labor-begining of fetal depresion,transverse abdominal incision in the lower part of abdomen,just above the pubic bone,is performed(bikini cut).In such situations there is sufficient time to use regional anesthesia which allows the mother to be awake without feeling pain(spinal block or an epidural catheter).,In emergency situations such as:,-fetal depresion-prolapsed umbilical cord-ruptured uterus-severe abruptio placente-placenta previa with extensive hemorrhage,a midline vertical abdominal incision(from the nevel to the pubic bone)provides more rapid access to the uterus.In such situations general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation is the preferred technique.,
