Difficult or abnormal labor.

Labor lasting 3 hours or less.

Uterus bursts, causing internal bleeding

Amniotic fluid enters mom's blood.

Management strategies for difficult labor depend on the cause.

Assess mother and baby for trauma after rapid delivery.

Urgent care for a ruptured uterus focuses on saving both mother and baby.

Recognize symptoms and signs promptly using rapid response.

The umbilical cord moves through the cervix or birth canal before the baby, blocking blood flow.

Fetal stool (meconium) in the amniotic fluid.

Clearing the mouth and nose of a newborn, using a bulb syringe or ET tube.

Abnormal fetal heart rate (FHR) patterns, lack of fetal activity, late decelerations, variable decelerations.

Monitoring of baby's heart rate during labor, important for assessing fetal health.

Important intervention when dealing with fetal distress or prolapsed cord to save the baby's life.

Immediately notify the provider and prepare for immediate birth, but before delivery, reposition the mother in the knee-chest, Trendelenburg positions.

"Prepare the neonatal resuscitation team to be present at birth." Gather equipment for suctioning the baby immediately.

Immediately notify the provider and prepare for immediate birth.

Reposition the mother in the knee-chest, Trendelenburg positions to alleviate pressure on the cord.

Notify the neonatal resuscitation team to be present at birth.

Fetal heart rate below 110 or above 160, little to no fetal activity, late or variable decelerations.

Notify the provider, reposition the mother, administer oxygen, discontinue Pitocin, and prepare for immediate birth.

Continuous monitoring of fetal heart rate and maternal vital signs.

The 5 P's of labor are: Powers (contractions), Passage (pelvis), Passenger (baby), Position (mom's), and Psyche (mom's mental state).

Dystocia is difficult or abnormal labor. It can be caused by problems with the 5 P's.

Dystocia management depends on the cause. It may involve continuous fetal monitoring, Pitocin, amniotomy, positioning, pain relief, cesarean section, forceps or vacuum delivery, and notifying the provider.

Precipitous Labor is when labor happens in 3 hours or less.

Uterine Rupture is when the uterus tears, causing internal bleeding.

Signs of Uterine Rupture include ripping or tearing pain, extreme tenderness, and signs of shock (low blood pressure, rapid heart rate, pale skin).

Anaphylactoid Syndrome (Amniotic Fluid Embolism) happens when amniotic fluid enters the mother's bloodstream, triggering a reaction.

Anaphylactoid Syndrome requires immediate medical attention. This includes monitoring vital signs, administering oxygen and fluids, and preparing for emergency procedures like cesarean section.
