The world health organization defines normal labour as low risk throughout, spontaneous in onset with the foetus presenting by the vertex, culminating in the mother and infant in good condition following birth.

Page 3: Labour management

STAGES OF LABOURLabour has been classified into 4 stages

FOURTH STAGE

THIRD STAGE

SECOND STAGE

FIRST STAGE

Page 4: Labour management
Page 5: Labour management

First stage has 3 Phases

LATENT PHASE

ACTIVE PHASE

TRANSITION PHASE

Page 6: Labour management
Page 7: Labour management

Cervix dilates from 0cm to 3-4 cm

Cervical canal shortens from 3 cm to 0.5 cm long

Lasts for about 6-8 hours.

Page 8: Labour management

ACTIVE PHASE

Page 9: Labour management

This begins when the cervix is 3-4 cm dilated and in the presence of rhythmic contractions and is complete when the cervix is fully dilated (8-10cm).

Page 10: Labour management

Transition phase

It is from when the cervix is from about 8cms until it is fully dilated.

Page 11: Labour management

Second stage

Page 12: Labour management

Second stageThe second stage is that of expulsion of fetus.

It begins when the cervix is fully dilated and woman feels to expel the baby.

It is complete when the baby is born.

Page 13: Labour management

Third stageThe third stage is that of separation and expulsion of placenta and membranes; it also involves the control of bleeding.

Page 14: Labour management

It lasts from the birth of the baby until the placenta and membranes have been expelled

Page 15: Labour management
Page 16: Labour management

FOURTH STAGE

Page 17: Labour management

Fourth stage

The fourth stage involved transition and stabilization and initial recovery from child birth normally lasts 1-4 hours after birth

Page 18: Labour management

Principles:- Non- interference with watchful expectancy so as to prepare the patient for natural birth.

Page 19: Labour management

To monitor carefully the progress of labor, maternal conditions and fetal behavior so as to delete any intrapartum complication easily.

Page 20: Labour management

MANAGEMENT OF FIRST STAGE

Page 21: Labour management

Position and mobility

Woman should be encouraged to give birth in the position they find most comfortable.

Page 22: Labour management

The positions used In

first stage

Page 23: Labour management

Semi-sitting

Page 24: Labour management

Sitting, Leaning Forward with Support

Page 25: Labour management

SIDE LYING POSITION

Page 26: Labour management

Kneeling over chairs

Page 27: Labour management

Squatting

Page 28: Labour management

Hands and knees

Page 29: Labour management

Birthing balls

Page 30: Labour management

MANAGEMENT OF SECOND STAGE LABOUR

Page 31: Labour management

Continuous electronic fetal monitoring

Page 32: Labour management

The device consists of simultaneous recording of fetal electro-cardiography and uterine contraction by tocography. It is not done in uncomplicated pregnancy where an intermittent auscultation with a pinard’s stethoscope or handle Doppler device is used.

Page 33: Labour management

If the membranes are ruptured the liquor amnii is observed to ensure that it’s clear.

An electronic fetal monitoring indicates features like,

Baseline fetal heart rate up to 110-160 b/m.

The variability of Fetal Heart Rate.

Decelerations and Acceleration of heart rate.

Page 34: Labour management

Preparation for birth

The room should be kept warm, well lighted with a spotlight. The equipment is kept ready, inducing drugs like uterotonic agents, vitamin k, and oxytocin etc.

Page 35: Labour management

Maintain aseptic techniques

Page 36: Labour management

The mid wife’s skill and judgment are crucial factors in minimizing maternal trauma and ensuring an optimal birth for the mother and baby. The mid wife should

observe the progress

Page 37: Labour management

Prevent infectionProvide physical and emotional comfort

Anticipate events Recognize the development of abnormalities.

Page 38: Labour management

MANAGEMENT OF

SECOND STAGE

Page 39: Labour management

Birth of head The perineum should be swabbed and a clean pad is kept under the women.

Page 40: Labour management

Encourage mother to control by gently blowing or sighing and minimize each breath in

order to minimize active pushing.

Page 41: Labour management

CROWNING

As the fetal head and advance and control it by supporting with one hand

or both

Page 42: Labour management

During the delivery of head the mid wife should support the anococcygeal region of the mother with a sterile towel in her right hand and while the left hand exerts pressure on the occiput.

Page 43: Labour management

SUPPORT OF PERINEUM AND FETAL HEAD

Page 44: Labour management
Page 45: Labour management

Ensure that the cord is not around the fetal head.

Page 46: Labour management

EPISIOTOMYWhen the perineum is fully stretched and threatens to tear especially in primi, episiotomy is done by infiltration with 10ml of 1% lignocanie.

Page 47: Labour management

Immediately following delivery of the head, the mucous and blood in the mouth and pharynx are to be wiped with a sterile gauze piece.

Page 48: Labour management
Page 49: Labour management

Mechanical or electrical sucker may be used. It prevents the mucus blocking the air passage.

Page 50: Labour management

CLEARING THE AIRWAY

Page 51: Labour management

The eye lids of are then wiped with sterile dry cotton swabs to minimize the contamination of conjunctival sac.

Page 52: Labour management

The head is grasped by both hands and gently drawn posteriorly until the anterior shoulder is released from under the pubis

Page 53: Labour management
Page 54: Labour management

Birth of shoulders

By drawing the hand, in upward direction, the shoulder is delivered out of the perineum.

Page 55: Labour management

Traction on the head should be gentle to avoid excessive stretching of the neck causing injury to the brachial plexus, hematoma of the neck or fracture of the clavicle.

Page 56: Labour management

Birth of shoulders

Page 57: Labour management

Delivery of the trunkAfter the delivery of the shoulders, the fore finger of each hand is inserted under the axillae and the trunk is delivered gently by lateral flexion.

Page 58: Labour management

Delivery of the trunk

Page 59: Labour management

The cord is clamped and cut about 5 cm from the

umbilicus

Page 60: Labour management

MANAGEMENT

OF THIRD STAGE

Page 61: Labour management
Page 62: Labour management

PRINCIPLES Ensure strict vigilance and to follow the management guidelines in practice to prevent complications.

The placental separation and its descent into the vagina are allowed to occur spontaneously.

Constant watch is needed; the mother should not be left alone.

Page 63: Labour management

The third stage includes separation, descent and expulsion of the placenta with its membranes.

Page 64: Labour management

Separation and descent of placenta

Page 65: Labour management

Conservative method The left hand is placed over the abdomen to detect

Any change in the level of the fundus

Sign of placental separation and decent.

Page 66: Labour management

The mother is asked to bear down to deliver the placenta spontaneously. Ergometrine 0.5mg or Syntometrine (5 units syntocinon + 0.5mg Ergometrine) to be given intravenouslly.

Page 67: Labour management

Active methodsGive Methargine 0.5 mg IM or Syntometrine (5units oxytocin+0.5mg Methargine), at the time of the anterior shoulder is free from symphysis pubis or as soon as possible thereafter.

Page 68: Labour management

Deliver the placenta and membranes by control cord traction by right hand, and the left hand is placed on the suprapubic region, pushing the uterus upwards.

Page 69: Labour management

Delivery of the placenta and membranes

Page 70: Labour management

An immediate and through inspection of the placentaandmembranes is done to Estimate their completeness.

Page 71: Labour management

Immediate new born care

Page 72: Labour management

Air passage should be cleared of mucus and liquor by gentle suction (mucous sucker).

Page 73: Labour management

Soon after the delivery of the baby, it should be placed in a tray covered with clean dry linen with the head slightly downwards (15.0).

Page 74: Labour management

It facilitates drainage of the mucus accumulated in the tracheo-bronchial tree by gravity.

Page 75: Labour management

APGAR rating at 1 minute and 5 minutes to be recorded which includes, the appearance, pulse, grimace, activity and respiration.

Page 76: Labour management

The presence of any abnormalities of cord is noted, and then it is covered with sterile gauze piece.

Page 77: Labour management

A quick check is made to detect any gross abnormality and the baby is dried and wrapped with a dry warm towel

Page 78: Labour management

The identification tape is tied both to the baby and the

mother.

Page 79: Labour management

One hour following the complete delivery of the baby, the baby should be fed

Page 80: Labour management

Management

of Fourth stage

Page 81: Labour management

Fourth Stage of Labour

First postpartum hour  Monitor vital signs and bleeding

Repair lacerations  ensure uterus is contracted (palpate uterus and monitor uterine bleeding)

Page 82: Labour management

A hand is placed over the funds◦To recognize the signs of placental separation

◦To note the state the uterine activity-Contraction and relaxation.

◦To detect cupping of funds

Page 83: Labour management

The uterus is palpated to assess the degree of contraction. The fundus should be firm at the level of umbilicus or below. The Perineal pad is observed for lochia, color, clots and amount.

Page 84: Labour management

The pulse, blood pressure, behavior of uterus and any abnormal vaginal bleedings is to be watched for 1 hour after delivery.

Page 85: Labour management

NURSING MANAGEMENT

OF LABOUR

Page 86: Labour management

The nurse’s responsibilities during labour include.
