Study Notes
Trauma Management
- If a patient is unconscious with blood from the right ear, securing the airway is the first priority in management.
- Other options like CT scan or FAST scan can be performed after airway management.
Vaginal Examination in Labor
- Vaginal examination is not carried out in chronic fetoplacental insufficiency.
- Situations where vaginal examination is necessary include bloody discharge, changes in fetal heartbeat, and outpouring of amniotic fluid.
Duration of Cervical Dilation in Primiparous
- The duration for cervical dilation in primiparous women is typically 10-12 hours.
Biomechanics of Labor: Anterior Occipital Presentation
- The second moment involves internal rotation of the head with the back of the head facing forward.
- The third moment consists of extension of the head during the birthing process.
Head Presentation
- In anterior occipital presentation, the head is born through the small oblique size.
- The head configuration changes shape while passing through the birth canal, leading to the formation of a birth tumor.
Head Shape Characteristics
- The head configuration during anterior occipital presentation is dolichocephalic, characterized by being longer than it is wide.
- There may be a sharp dolichocephalic shape indicative of confluence at the large fontanelle.
Biomechanics in Posterior Occipital Presentation
- The first moment involves flexion of the head.
- The second moment includes internal head rotation, allowing for proper alignment in the birth canal.
