šŸ“‹ Management of Labour - Easy Notes


AIM of Management of Labour

  • Watch carefully with minimum interference in the natural process
  • Keep everything normal and catch any problem as early as possible

INDICATIONS for Vaginal Examination in Normal Labour

Keep vaginal exams to a minimum. Do it only when:
  1. At onset of labour - To confirm labour has started, find out the position of the baby's presenting part
  2. During progress of labour - Every 3-4 hours to check how much the cervix has opened (dilated) and how far the baby's head has come down (in relation to ischial spines = station)
  3. After the waters break (rupture of membranes) - To rule out cord prolapse
  4. To confirm the start of 2nd stage - Full dilatation of cervix

MANAGEMENT OF 1st STAGE OF LABOUR

Principles

  1. Non-interference - watchful expectancy for natural birth
  2. Monitor carefully - progress of labour, maternal condition (pulse/BP exam), fetal behaviour (FHR), and detect any intrapartum complications early

Preliminaries (Things to do when patient arrives)

  • Basic check of the patient's current condition
  • Ask about onset of labour pains, any leakage of water
  • Do a full general + obstetrical examination including vaginal exam and record everything
  • Review antenatal visit records, investigation reports, any specific medicines given

ACTUAL MANAGEMENT

A) General Care

  • Antiseptic dressing
  • Give emotional support, encouragement, and assurance to the mother
  • Constant supervision throughout

B) Position

  • In early normal labour, mother does NOT need to stay in bed
  • If in bed - use the most comfortable position
  • Avoid dorsal supine position (flat on back) - it compresses major blood vessels

C) Bowel

  • Enema is NOT recommended

D) Ambulation (Walking)

  • If the membranes are intact, patient is allowed to walk

E) Diet

  • In early labour: Plain water or fruit juice is allowed
  • In active labour: Food is withheld (in case surgery is needed)

F) Bladder Care

  • Patient is encouraged to pass urine regularly
  • If she cannot pass urine, especially in the late first stage → catheterization must be done

G) Pain Relief

  • Epidural analgesia is recommended if the mother asks for pain relief (WHO recommendation)

ASSESSMENT OF PROGRESS OF LABOUR & PARTOGRAPH RECORDING

ParameterFrequency
PulseEvery 30 min
Blood Pressure (BP)Every 1 hour
TemperatureEvery 2 hours
Urine OutputVolume, protein, acetone
Any drug given (e.g. oxytocin)Recorded in partograph

Abdominal Palpation

a) Uterine contractions - Check frequency, intensity, and duration
  • Number of contractions in 10 minutes and duration of each contraction in seconds → recorded in partograph
  • Labour progress = cervical dilatation from 5 cm to 10 cm
b) Pelvic grip (4th Manoeuvre) - Descent of fetal head - expressed in how many fifths of the head are felt above the brim
c) Shifting of maximal intensity of fetal heart beat - Moves downward and medially = indicates descending fetus

To Note Fetal Wellbeing

  • FHR (Fetal Heart Rate) should be checked:
    • Every ½ hour in 1st stage
    • Every 15 minutes in 2nd stage or after rupture of membranes
  • Continuous Electronic Fetal Monitoring (CTG) - Used for high-risk pregnancies only, NOT as a routine

Vaginal Examination Findings to Record

a) Dilatation of cervix in cm (in relation to hours of labour) b) Position of head and degree of flexion c) Station of head (degree of descent) in relation to ischial spines d) Colour of liquor (clear OR meconium stained) if membranes ruptured e) Degree of moulding of the head

Signs of Maternal Distress (Warning Signs!)

  • Anxious look
  • Rising pulse rate ≄ 100 per minute
  • Dehydration, dry tongue
  • Hot, dry vagina
  • Acetone smell in breath
  • Scanty, high-coloured urine with acetone

MANAGEMENT OF 2nd STAGE OF LABOUR

Signs that 1st Stage is Over (Transition to 2nd Stage)

  • Stronger uterine contractions
  • Bearing down efforts (pushing urge)
  • Urge to push or defecate with descent of presenting part
  • Complete dilatation of cervix (10 cm) confirmed on vaginal exam

Principles

  1. Help the baby come out slowly and steadily (natural expulsion)
  2. Prevent perineal injuries (tears)

General Measures

  • Patient must be in bed
  • Constant supervision is mandatory
  • FHR recorded every 5 minutes
  • Give inhalation analgesics (like Entonox/gas) to relieve pain during contractions
  • Vaginal exam at beginning of 2nd stage - to confirm onset, detect cord prolapse, and note progressive descent of head

Preparation for Delivery

Position: Lateral, squatting or partial sitting (45°) - Dorsal position with 15° left lateral tilt is commonly used
Steps of preparation:
  • The attendant stands on the right side of the patient
  • Clean (toilet) the external genitalia and inner thighs with cotton swabs soaked in Savlon/Dettol solution
  • Place one sterile sheet under the buttocks and one over the abdomen
  • Catheterize the bladder if it is full

CONDUCTION OF DELIVERY (3 Phases)

Phase 1: Delivery of Head

Principles:
  • Maintain flexion of the head
  • Prevent early extension
  • Regulate the slow escape of head through the vulval outlet
Steps:
  1. Encourage mother to bear down during contractions
  2. When the scalp is visible for about 5 cm (crowning approaching):
    • Maintain flexion by pushing the occiput downward & backward using thumb and index finger of left hand
    • Simultaneously press the perineum with right palm and a sterile vulval pad (Ritgen's Manoeuvre) - to prevent perineal laceration
  3. Repeat until the sub-occiput is placed under the pubic symphysis
  4. At this stage - the maximum diameter of head (BPD) stretches the vulval outlet → Crowning occurs
  5. When the perineum is fully stretched - perform Episiotomy (after local anaesthesia with 10 ml of 1% Lignocaine)
  6. Slow delivery of head between contractions
  7. Forehead → nose → mouth → chin are delivered by extension

Care IMMEDIATELY After Delivery of Head

  • Wipe mucus and blood from mouth and pharynx using sterile gauze on the little finger
  • Wipe eyelids with sterile dry cotton swabs from medial to lateral canthus
  • Palpate the neck to feel for any loop of cord (nuchal cord):
    • If loose - slip it over the head
    • If tight - cut between 2 Kocher's forceps placed 1 inch apart

Prevention of Perineal Laceration

  • Avoid early extension of head
  • Avoid forcible/spontaneous rapid delivery of head
  • Deliver head between contractions
  • Perform timely episiotomy when indicated
  • Take care during delivery of shoulders

Phase 2: Delivery of Shoulders

  • Do NOT rush - wait for the next uterine contraction
  • Let restitution and external rotation of head occur naturally
  • The bisacromial diameter comes in the ant-post diameter of pelvis
  • During the next contraction, the anterior shoulder is born spontaneously
  • If delayed: grasp head with both hands, gently draw posteriorly until anterior shoulder is released from under the pubis
  • Then draw head upward → posterior shoulder delivered over the perineum

Phase 3: Delivery of Trunk

  • After delivery of shoulders, forefingers of each hand are inserted under the axillae
  • Trunk is delivered gently by lateral flexion

IMMEDIATE CARE OF NEWBORN

  • Place baby on a tray covered with clean dry linen, head slightly down (15°)
  • Tray is placed between mother's legs at a lower level than the uterus - to allow gravitational flow of blood from placenta to infant
  • Clear the airway (air passage)
  • Apgar score at 1 minute and 5 minutes is recorded

Clamping and Ligature of the Cord

  • Cord is clamped with 2 Kocher's forceps - the nearer one placed 6-10 cm from the umbilicus and cut in between
  • Check for any abnormality in cord vessels
  • Delayed cord clamping: In preterm neonates
  • Early cord clamping: In Rh incompatibility, asphyxiated baby
  • Quick check for any gross abnormality in the baby
  • Baby is wrapped in a dry, warm towel
  • Identification tape tied on both wrist of baby AND mother

MANAGEMENT OF 3rd STAGE OF LABOUR

Most important stage of labour - highest risk of complications (PPH)

Principle

Strict vigilance + follow management guidelines to prevent PPH (Postpartum Haemorrhage)

Two Methods

  1. Active Management (preferred) - AMTSL
  2. Expectant Management

1. Active Management of 3rd Stage of Labour (AMTSL)

Involves: Separation of placenta → Controlled contraction → Delivery of placenta
Principle: Stimulate powerful uterine contractions within 1 minute of baby's delivery by giving parenteral (injectable) oxytocic drug
Advantages of AMTSL:
  • Minimizes blood loss in 3rd stage
  • Shortens the duration of 3rd stage
  • Reduces maternal anaemia
  • Decreases incidence of PPH

Key Memory Points:
  • Vaginal exam: minimum, indicated at specific times
  • Maternal monitoring: Pulse every 30 min, BP every 1 hr, Temp every 2 hrs
  • FHR: every 30 min in 1st stage, every 15 min in 2nd stage
  • Delivery of head: Ritgen's manoeuvre, maintain flexion, episiotomy when needed
  • Cord clamping: 6-10 cm from umbilicus, delayed in preterm
  • AMTSL is the preferred method for 3rd stage
  • Oxytocic injection must be given within 1 minute of delivery
