Prolonged labor is the inability of a woman to proceed with childbirth upon going into labor. Prolonged labor typically lasts over 20 hours for first time mothers, and over 14 hours for women that have already had children.
This presentation discusses prolonged labor, which occurs when labor lasts over 20 hours for first-time mothers or 14 hours for women who have given birth before. Prolonged labor can happen in the latent or active phases of the first stage, or the second stage. Causes include problems with uterine contractions, the birth canal, or the baby. Prolonged labor can endanger the baby through hypoxia or infection and endanger the mother through hemorrhage, trauma, or infection. Management involves identifying the cause, monitoring for effects, and treating any issues through techniques like amniotomy, oxytocin infusion, pain relief, or cesarean delivery if needed to deliver the baby safely.
The document defines prolonged labour as when the first and second stages of labour last more than 18 hours total. It then discusses the phases of labour and outlines causes of prolonged labour including issues with uterine contractions, the cervix, pelvis, or baby. Diagnosis involves assessing cervical dilation and descent rates. Dangers to the mother and baby include hypoxia, infection, and trauma. Treatments include preventing issues with early monitoring, changing positions, hydration, and pain relief or interventions like amniotomy, oxytocin, or c-section depending on the stage and severity.
This document describes the procedure for manual removal of the placenta (MRP). MRP is performed when the placenta fails to deliver within 30 minutes of childbirth. It involves inserting fingers into the uterus to locate and detach the placenta from the uterine wall while supporting the fundus. Once detached, the placenta is withdrawn from the uterus while continuing to provide counter-traction. Oxytocin is administered to encourage uterine contraction and prevent hemorrhage. The placenta is examined for completeness and the uterus is checked for contraction to ensure the procedure was successful. Potential complications include shock, postpartum hemorrhage, puerperal sepsis, and inversion or hysterectomy.
Precipitate labor is defined as labor with a combined duration of the first and second stages of less than two hours. It is more common in multiparous women and occurs due to hyperactive uterine contractions and diminished soft tissue resistance, allowing a dilation rate of 5 cm per hour or more. Risks for both mother and baby include lacerations, postpartum hemorrhage, uterine inversion or rupture, intracranial hemorrhage in the baby from rapid delivery without time for molding. Treatment involves hospitalizing women with a history of precipitate labor prior to delivery, suppressing contractions during labor, controlling delivery of the head, liberal episiotomy use, and inducing labor through membrane rupture and controlled delivery
VACUUM DELIVERY - OBSTETRICS AND GYNAECOLOGY-
DEALS WITH THE DELIVERY OF HUMAN BABY BY VACUUM IN SPECIAL OBSTETRIC CONDITIONS.
VACUUM is an instrumental device designed to assist delivery by creating a vacuum between it and the fetal scalp.
Umbilical cord prolapse is a serious obstetric emergency where the umbilical cord precedes the fetus through the birth canal. It can be diagnosed by feeling the cord or detecting fetal heart abnormalities. Management involves manually lifting the presenting part off the cord, placing the mother in a position to relieve pressure on the cord, considering tocolysis to stop contractions, and delivering via the fastest route, typically an emergency c-section.
Disorders of uterine contraction, precipitate labor, premature labor and prol...VANITASharma19

1. Abnormal uterine contractions can cause prolonged and difficult labor and include conditions like uterine inertia with weak contractions, tetanic contractions with strong and frequent contractions, and uterine constriction rings.
2. Precipitate labor is characterized by very rapid labor progressing in less than 3 hours from the start of contractions and can risk maternal and neonatal complications without proper medical care and monitoring.
3. Preterm labor is defined as contractions strong enough to dilate the cervix occurring between 20-37 weeks gestation and can be predicted by fetal fibronectin levels in cervical secretions and ultrasound measurement of cervical length.
Screening and assessment of high-risk pregnancies involves identifying women at increased risk of complications through non-invasive tests like ultrasounds, NSTs and CSTs. Diagnostic tests then establish or rule out conditions and include invasive procedures like amniocentesis and cord blood sampling. Ultrasounds provide fetal images and assess growth while NSTs and CSTs monitor the fetal heart rate during rest and contractions. Amniocentesis analyzes amniotic fluid for genetic disorders while cord blood sampling draws fetal blood for similar tests when earlier methods were inconclusive. Both invasive procedures have a risk of miscarriage but can diagnose many conditions affecting the developing baby.
Uterine inversion is a rare complication where the uterus turns inside out, and can be partial or complete. It occurs in around 1 in 20,000 deliveries and is usually acute and complete. There are three degrees - first involves dimpling of the fundus, second passes through the cervix into the vagina, and third is complete outside the vulva. Treatment involves urgent manual replacement or hydrostatic replacement under anesthesia to prevent shock, hemorrhage, infection and other complications. Proper management of the third stage of labor can prevent induced inversions.
Uterine Rupture

Introduction
Uterine rupture is when the muscular wall of the uterus tears during pregnancy or childbirth
Symptoms while classically including increased pain, vaginal bleeding, or a change in contractions are not always present.
Disability or death of the mother or baby may result.
Definition
Uterine rupture is giving way of gravid uterus or dissolution in the continuity of uterine wall anytime after 28 weeks of gestation with or without expulsion of the fetus.
Incidence
Rates of uterine rupture during vaginal birth following one previous C-section, done by the typical technique, are estimated at 0.9%
Rates are greater among those who have had multiple prior C-sections or an atypical type of C-section.
油In those who do have uterine scarring, the risk during a vaginal birth is about 1 per 12,000
Risk of death of the baby is about 6%

This document summarizes information about intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). It discusses normal fetal growth occurring in three stages: hyperplasia, hyperplasia and hypertrophy, and hypertrophy. Causes of IUGR include maternal, fetal, placental, and environmental factors. Maternal causes include medical conditions, malnutrition, smoking, and infections. Fetal causes include genetic abnormalities and infections. Placental causes include improper placentation and reduced blood flow. Clinical features of IUGR infants include a large head, thin skin, and scaphoid abdomen. Risk prediction methods include ultrasound and Doppler. Problems for IUGR infants include hypoxia, hypoglycemia, and immunological and metabolic issues. Management
This document discusses fetal positioning and presentations during labor and delivery. It begins by defining non-vertex presentations including breech, face, brow, transverse, and compound. It then discusses the causes of non-vertex presentations and describes the different positions including occiput posterior. The document provides details on assessing various positions through abdominal and vaginal exams. It concludes by outlining the management of different non-vertex positions, including allowing natural rotation, augmentation of labor, operative vaginal delivery, or caesarean section if needed.

This document provides information about eclampsia, including its definition, incidence, types, etiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical features, stages of convulsions, investigations, and management. Eclampsia is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy characterized by hypertension, edema, proteinuria, and convulsions. It is most common in developing countries and rural areas. Risk factors include advanced maternal age, primigravid status, pre-existing hypertension, and family history. Management involves controlling seizures, delivering the baby, providing fluid and magnesium sulfate therapy, and monitoring the patient.
Premature labor is defined as labor that begins before 37 weeks of gestation. Approximately 10% of deliveries occur prematurely. While the exact cause is unknown in many cases, risk factors include previous preterm births, infections, chronic illnesses, multiple pregnancies, and short cervical length. Management involves attempts to delay labor with bed rest and tocolytic drugs to allow for corticosteroid administration to improve fetal lung maturity. After delivery, neonatal care focuses on preventing complications like respiratory distress through gentle resuscitation measures.
A retained placenta occurs when the placenta is not expelled from the uterus within 30 minutes of childbirth. Risk factors include previous retained placentas, uterine injuries or surgeries, preterm births, induced labor, and multiple pregnancies. Causes can include failure of the placenta to separate fully from the uterine wall or abnormal placenta attachments like placenta accreta. Treatment involves controlled cord traction, manual removal in the operating room if needed, or hysterectomy for deeply embedded placentas. Complications can be life-threatening bleeding, infections, or shock if not properly managed.
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus, usually in one of the fallopian tubes. This is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment to stop potentially life-threatening bleeding. Most ectopic pregnancies occur in the fallopian tubes. While the incidence of ectopic pregnancy is rising due to increased rates of pelvic inflammatory disease, early diagnosis and treatment have reduced maternal death and illness.

This document discusses the physiology and management of the second stage of labor. It defines the second stage as beginning with full cervical dilation and ending with delivery of the fetus. Key points include: the second stage has two phases - propulsive and expulsive; normal duration is 2 hours for primiparous and 30 minutes for multiparous women; physiological changes include descent, uterine contractions, membrane rupture, and soft tissue displacement; management aims for a normal delivery with minimal maternal effects and early detection of abnormalities. Assessment includes monitoring contractions, descent, fetal heart rate, and progressing through the mechanisms of labor.
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to poor growth of a baby in the womb. It can be caused by poor maternal nutrition, lack of oxygen to the fetus, or other maternal/placental/fetal factors. IUGR babies are small for their gestational age and classified as symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical IUGR involves reduced cell number and affects all organs, while asymmetrical IUGR involves cellular hypertrophy and disproportionately affects the body. IUGR increases risks for the baby including hypoglycemia, respiratory issues, and long term health problems. Management depends on severity and includes improving nutrition, bed rest, and timing of delivery.
Hyperemesis Gravidarum - Disorder of PregnancyJaice Mary Joy
油
Hyperemesis Gravidarum is a severe form of vomiting during pregnancy that can negatively impact a mother's health. It affects 0.3-3% of pregnancies and is the most common cause of hospitalization in the first trimester. Risk factors include young or older age, prior history, and multiple pregnancies. Complications can include dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, and problems for the fetus like growth restriction. Treatment involves hospitalization, IV fluids, electrolyte monitoring, antiemetics, and nutritional supplementation. Nursing care focuses on resolving complications through rehydration and nutrition while addressing emotional concerns.
This document discusses puerperal infection, which refers to infections occurring after childbirth. It aims to define puerperal infection, describe common causative organisms and risk factors, explain the pathology and diagnostic process, and outline prevention and management strategies. Puerperal infection morbidity affects 2-10% of patients and is higher after cesarean deliveries. Improved obstetric care and antibiotics have reduced rates. The uterus is the most common infection site. Symptoms, treatment with antibiotics and rest, and surgical drainage for abscesses are discussed. Urinary tract infections are another common postpartum complication, caused by bacteria and associated with catheterization and bladder changes. Diagnosis and treatment focus on urinalysis
This document discusses prolonged labor, obstructed labor, and dystocia caused by fetal anomalies. Prolonged labor is defined as the combined first and second stage of labor exceeding 18 hours. It can be caused by issues with cervical dilation, fetal descent, uterine contractions, or pelvic and fetal factors. Obstructed labor occurs when descent is arrested due to a mechanical obstruction in the birth canal or fetus. This can lead to exhaustion, dehydration, acidosis, and infection for the mother. Fetal risks include hypoxia, infection, head molding issues, and increased need for operative delivery. Prevention focuses on identifying risk factors. Treatment involves evaluating the cause and deciding between augmentation, assisted delivery, or C-

This document describes prolonged and obstructed labor. It defines prolonged labor as when the first and second stages of labor last more than 18 hours total. Obstructed labor occurs when there is poor or no progress despite strong contractions, usually due to issues with the fetus (fault in passenger) or birth canal (fault in passage). Causes include cephalopelvic disproportion, malpositions, big baby, or contracted pelvis. Diagnosis involves assessing cervical dilation rate and fetal descent rate with a partograph. Treatment depends on the stage of labor affected and may include oxytocics, analgesics, assisted delivery, or C-section. Complications can be serious for both mother and baby if not resolved.
This document discusses abnormal labor and its management. It defines normal labor and describes abnormalities such as dystocia. Abnormal labor can be caused by issues with the cervix, uterus, maternal pelvis, or fetus. Types of abnormal labor include protraction disorders, arrest disorders, and dysfunctional labor. Management depends on the type and stage of abnormality and may include amniotomy, oxytocin administration, operative vaginal delivery, or cesarean section. Close monitoring of labor progress is important to diagnose abnormalities early to guide management.
This document discusses abnormal labour, defined as failure to meet defined milestones and time limits for normal labour. It can be caused by issues with uterine contractions (power), the birth canal (passages), or the fetus (passenger). Types of abnormal labour include slow progress/protraction disorders, arrest of progress/arrest disorders, and precipitate labour. Management involves assessing for causes, supporting labour through hydration and pain relief, and potentially augmenting contractions, assisting delivery, or performing a caesarean section if needed for fetal wellbeing. Complications of abnormal labour include increased risk of cesarean, fetal distress, and postpartum hemorrhage.

This document discusses abnormal labor and its management. It defines normal labor and describes abnormal labor as a difficult labor pattern that deviates from typical progression. Abnormal labor can be caused by issues with the cervix, uterus, maternal pelvis, or fetus. It further outlines the stages of labor and describes factors that can contribute to prolonged latent phase, dysfunctional labor, and dystocia. The management of abnormal labor may include amniotomy, oxytocin administration, operative vaginal delivery, or cesarean section depending on the specific issues present and labor progression. Close monitoring of labor and timely interventions are important to properly manage abnormal labor.
1) Prolonged labor is defined as labor lasting over 20 hours for first time mothers and over 14 hours for mothers who have previously given birth. It can be caused by issues like malpresentation, cephalopelvic disproportion, or problems with uterine contractions.
2) Signs of prolonged labor include exhaustion, dehydration, high pulse rate, and potential fetal distress. It increases risks for both mother and baby.
3) Management of prolonged labor involves identifying the cause, giving the mother fluids and pain relief, monitoring progress and fetal wellbeing, and potentially assisting delivery or performing a C-section if vaginal delivery is not possible or safe.
The document discusses poor progress of labor, which is a leading cause of cesarean sections, especially in first-time mothers. It defines the different stages of labor and describes disorders that can cause delayed progress, such as a prolonged latent phase, dysfunctional labor, or secondary arrest. The document provides guidance on assessing labor progress and outlines management strategies, including one-on-one care, hydration, pain relief, mobilization, amniotomy, and oxytocin augmentation when indicated to help improve labor outcomes.
This document discusses obstructed labor and uterine rupture. It defines obstructed labor as when the fetus cannot progress through the birth canal despite strong contractions due to an insurmountable barrier. Causes include cephalopelvic disproportion and pelvic abnormalities. Uterine rupture is a full thickness tear of the uterus, which can occur in women with prior uterine scars. Risk factors, signs and symptoms, management including emergency surgery, and complications are described for both conditions. Prevention focuses on antenatal care, monitoring labor, and avoiding risky practices like fundal pressure.

eenage pregnancy, also known as adolescent pregnancy, is pregnancy in a female under the age of 20. Pregnancy can occur with sexual intercourse after the start of ovulation, which can be before the first menstrual period (menarche) but usually occurs after the onset of periods.
A serious pregnancy complication in which the placenta detaches from the womb (uterus).
Placental abruption occurs when the placenta detaches from the inner wall of the womb before delivery. The condition can deprive the baby of oxygen and nutrients.
Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, stomach pain and back pain in the last 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Depending on the degree of placental separation and how close the baby is to full-term, treatment may include bed rest or a Caesarean (C-section).
Antenatal exercises aim at improving the physical and psychological well-being of an expected mother for labor and preventing pregnancy-induced pathologies by various physical means. It generally includes low impact aerobic exercises and stretching exercises.

Flag Screening in Physiotherapy Examination.pptxBALAJI SOMA
油
Flag screening is a crucial part of physiotherapy assessment that helps in identifying medical, psychological, occupational, and social barriers to recovery. Recognizing these flags ensures that physiotherapists make informed decisions, provide holistic care, and refer patients appropriately when necessary. By integrating flag screening into practice, physiotherapists can optimize patient outcomes and prevent chronicity of conditions.
Non-Invasive ICP Monitoring for NeurosurgeonsDhaval Shukla
油
This presentation delves into the latest advancements in non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring techniques, specifically tailored for neurosurgeons. It covers the importance of ICP monitoring in clinical practice, explores various non-invasive methods, and discusses their accuracy, reliability, and clinical applications. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of non-invasive approaches over traditional invasive methods, including reduced risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. This comprehensive overview is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of neurosurgeons in managing patients with neurological conditions.
Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this presentation is to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.
