    Study Notes

    Cord Prolapse

    • A common predisposing factor for cord prolapse is a vertex malpresentation.

    Management of Prolapsed Umbilical Cord

    • The initial action to be taken is to elevate the presenting part to relieve cord compression.

    Uterine Inversion

    • The primary complication associated with uterine inversion is maternal hemorrhage.
    • In the initial management of a completely inverted uterus, the uterus should NOT be pushed back into the pelvis.
    • In the management of a partially inverted uterus, the key step is to replace the uterus by pushing it upwards and backwards.

    Subsequent Pregnancies after Uterine Inversion

    • The recommended mode of delivery for subsequent pregnancies after a uterine inversion is a cesarean section.

    Vertex Malpresentations

    • A vertex malpresentation is a face presentation.

    Occiput Transverse Position

    • The recommended management for an occiput transverse position is to await spontaneous rotation or to perform manual rotation.

    Complications of Precipitate Labor

    • A potential maternal complication associated with precipitate labor is perineal trauma.
    • A potential fetal complication associated with precipitate labor is birth asphyxia.
    • The maternal complication of precipitate labor is perineal trauma.

    Management of Precipitate Labor

    • In the management of precipitate labor, the perineum should be supported to prevent perineal trauma.
    • In a multiparous woman with a history of brief past labor, the recommended management for precipitate labor is to slow down the labor process with tetrahydroisoline or magnesium sulfate.

    Inversion of the Uterus

    • A predisposing factor for inversion of the uterus is a fundal placenta.
    • The definition of inversion of the uterus is a condition where the uterus turns inside out after delivery, often resulting in severe bleeding.

    Other Complications

    • A potential complication associated with shoulder presentation (transverse lie) is fetal distress.
    • A potential complication associated with compound presentation is umbilical cord prolapse.
    • One of the fetal complications of precipitate labor is cephalohematoma.
