Tachycardia FHR above 160/min longer than 10 min
Variability Exprected irregular fluctuations of baseline (2 or more/min)
Early deceleration FHR decrease after onset of contraction-fetal head compression-GOOD
Late deceleration FHR decrease after peak of contraction-UPI-Nonreassuring
Variable deceleration FHR decrease any time during contraction-umbilical cord compression
Acceleration increase FHR 15/min or more, last 15 sec but shorter than 2 min
Episodic FHR changes not associated with contractions (movement etc)
Duration start to finish of contraction
Frequency peak to peak or start to start of contraction
Resting time time between contractions
Acme peak or intesity of contraction, mmHG, 35=mild, 50=mod, 75=strong
Normal resting tone 8-15mmHG
Amniotomy artificial rupture of membranes, check FHR, cord compression or prolapse
External version External manipulation to turn fetus from unfavorable lie or presenting part, risks-cord compression, injury, placenta bleed, uterine tear/rupture, labor
Preterm labor labor begins before 37-38 weeks
Hypotonic uterine dysfunction results in less than adequate labor pattern
Amnioinfusion intrauterine infusion to increase amount of fluid or flush, correct variable decels, need 30 min to increase fluid, risk of overdistention & increase tone
Sinusoidal FHR pattern Related to severe fetal anemia, acidosis, hemorrhage, abruptio or hydrops fetalis, undulating, oscilating, waves, persistent & rounded, no variability
Cardiac changes with labor Increase CO & PVR, stage 2 increase intrathoracic pressure & venous pressure, decrease venous return=fetal hypoxia
GI changes with labor decrease motility, absorption, emptyingincrease nausea, belching with dilation
Meds used to treat GI issues during labor Bicitra, Maalox, Reglan, Zantac
Urinary changes during labor decrease tone, capacity, sensation of filling, proteinuria (affects progress & comfort)
Hemopoietic changes during labor increase WBC (21-25), fibrinogendecrease coag time, blood sugar
Respiratory changes during labor Increase O2 demand (stage 1=40%, stage 2=100%)hyperventilation
Fetal scalp pH 7.25 and above=ok7.18 and below=deliver
Amniotic fluid normals 1000ml, pale/straw color, no odor, watery, slightly alkaline
Best evaluation amniotic fluid Ferning pattern, next nitrazine test
PURE Position change q20,urinate q1-2hrs, relaxation, environment & encourage
Nubain analgesia, caution with preterm, equal to morphine
Stadol analgesia, CHECK RR, must be 10, potent, give begining of contraction
Stadol/Nubain adverse maternal effects Resp depression, tachy, hypotension, bladder distention, mental changes, confusion, sedation
Stadol/Nubain adverse fetal effects sinusoidal FHR, bradycardia, CNS depression
Stadol/Nubain adverse neonate effects resp depression (1-4 hrs), apnea, cyanosis, hypotonia, bradycardia, arrhythmias (Narcan given)
Narcan adverse effects increase/decrease BP, increase HR, pain, irritable, crying, pul edema, abstinence syndrome
Analgesic/anesthesia complications fetus/neonate CNS depression, hypoxia, lethargy, poor suck/swallow
Analgesic complications maternal NV, decrease peristalsis, urine, CNS, BP alter, increase HR, ineffective, allergy, pruritus, delerium
General anethesia used cesarean/sterilization, SE=allergy, NV, aspiration, alter BP, uterine atony (hemorrhage), urine retention, hypothermia, surgical comps)
#1 complication spinal/epidural anesthesia Hypotension-prevent with bolus 500-1000ml LR
