Study Notes
Labor and Delivery
- Labor starts at 37 weeks according to the Department of Health (DOH).
- Reaching 4cm dilation is significant because it indicates active labor.
Cervical Effacement
- A non-effacing cervix is comparable to a finger.
Risk Factors for Preterm Labor
- The following conditions are NOT listed as risk factors for preterm labor: none are mentioned.
Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS)
- Premature development of RDS can result in bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
- Premature infants are prone to RDS due to immature lung development.
Ductus Arteriosus
- The Ductus Arteriosus should close within the first 24 hours after birth.
Intrauterine Device (IUD)
- The recommended frequency for changing a retained IUD is every 24 hours.
Complications of Premature Birth
- Hypothermia can lead to respiratory distress in premature infants.
- Premature infants with a cleft palate are at risk of feeding difficulties.
- Pathologic Apnea in premature infants refers to apnea that lasts for 20 seconds or more.
- Premature infants are prone to anemia due to insufficient production of red blood cells.
- Premature infants are at risk of neonatal pneumonia due to an immature immune system.
Tocolytic Agents
- Tocolytic agents, such as Isosuxiprine hydrochloride, are used to delay delivery and prevent uterine contractions.
- The primary purpose of tocolytic agents is to delay delivery.
Labor Management
- A multigravida should not be allowed to go home during labor if they are 4cm or more dilated.
- Maternal infections, such as chorioamnionitis, can lead to premature labor.
