Outline of presentation
 Introduction
 Section I: Etiologies & management of abnormal labor
Abnormal patterns of labor
 Abnormalities of the passage
 Abnormalities of the passenger
 Abnormalities of the power
 Section II: Partograph
09/04/16 2
Introduction
 Normal Labor is a sequence of uterine contractions that results in
effacement and dilatation of the cervix and voluntary bearing-down
efforts leading to the expulsion per vagina of the products of conception
 Abnormal labor is labor that deviates from the course of normal labor
 several labor abnormalities that may interfere with the orderly
progression to spontaneous delivery=>dystocia
 Without timely intervention, abnormal labor usually leads to prolonged
labor
 Maternal and neonatal complications are increased with increasing
duration of labor
 One of the main objectives of monitoring labor is to detect abnormal
progress of labor before it is prolonged
09/04/16 3
Incidence of labor abnormalities
 Difficult to determine the exact incidence.
 In nulliparous patients, the incidence of labor disorders is ≈
25%
 Dystocia is currently the most common (50 - 60%) indication
for 1˚ C/S, ≈ 3X more common than either NRFHRP or
malpresentation.
409/04/16
Etiologies
 The causes of abnormal labor are generally fall in to the
following:
A. Abnormal patterns of labor
B. Abnormalities of the passage
C. Abnormalities of the passenger
D. Abnormalities of the power
09/04/16 5
Abnormal Patterns of Labor
 Friedman described four abnormal patterns of labor
1. prolonged latent phase
2. protraction disorders (protracted active-phase dilatation and protracted descent)
3. arrest disorders (arrest of dilatation, arrest of descent, and failure of descent), and
4. precipitate labor disorders.
09/04/16 6
Disorders of latent phase
1. Prolonged latent phase
 From the onset of regular uterine contractions to the beginning of the
active phase of cervical dilatation
 The latent phase is abnormally prolonged if it lasts:
 more than 20 hours in nulliparas or
 more than 14 hours in multiparas
 Causes of prolonged latent phase include:
 use of general anesthesia before labor enters the active phase,
 labor beginning with an unfavorable cervix,
 irregular, uncoordinated, and ineffective uterine contractions, and
 fetopelvic disproportion
09/04/16 7
Prolonged latent phase…
Treatment options
 primarily consist of therapeutic rest regimens or active management of
labor
 Adequate rest
 Rehydration
 Oxytocin stimulation OR cesarean delivery for urgent problems.
 If immediate delivery is required for clinical reasons (eg, severe
preeclampsia or amnionitis), oxytocin infusion is the treatment of
choice.

Augmentation +
ARM
Note: If there is rupture of fetal
membranes and contractions
cease, manage her as PROM09/04/16
Disorders of the Active Phase…
2. Protraction Disorders
 May be divided into:
 protracted active-phase dilatation and
 protracted descent
 Protracted active-phase dilatation:
 characterized by an abnormally slow rate of dilatation in the active
phase,
 less than 1.2 cm/h in nulliparas or less than 1.5 cm/h in multiparas.
 Protracted descent of the fetus:
 Characterized by a rate of descent;
 less than 1 cm/h in nulliparas or
 less than 2 cm/h in multiparas.
 The second stage of labor is protracted when the stage exceeds:
 2 hours in nulliparas or 1 hour in multiparas, or
 3 and 2 hours, respectively, in the presence of conduction anesthesia.09/04/16 10
Protraction Disorders…
 Cause of a protraction disorder:
 Is probably multifactorial
 Inadequate uterine activity(the most common)
 Fetopelvic disproportion
 Abnormal positioning of the fetal presenting part
 improperly administered conduction anesthesia
 excessive sedation and,
 pelvic tumors obstructing the birth canal
09/04/16 11
Protraction Disorders…
 Treatment of protraction disorders:
 Depends on the presence or absence of fetopelvic disproportion, and
 The adequacy of uterine contractions,
 Cesarean section is indicated in the presence of confirmed fetopelvic
disproportion
 In the absence of fetopelvic disproportion,
 conservative management:
 consisting of support and close observation, and
 therapy with oxytocin augmentation
 both carry a good prognosis for vaginal delivery (approximately
two-thirds of patients)
09/04/16 12
3. Arrest Disorders
 The two patterns of arrest in labor can be characterized as follows:
 secondary arrest of dilatation
 with no progressive cervical dilatation in the active phase of labor for 2
hours or more and
 Arrest of descent
with descent failing to progress for 1 hour or more.
 Causative factors:
fetopelvic disproportion(in approximately 50%)
fetal malpositions,
inappropriately administered anesthesia, and
excessive sedation.
 Arrest disorders in the presence of adequate uterine contractions carry a poor
prognosis for vaginal delivery.
 If allowed to continue, arrest disorders are associated with increased perinatal
morbidity.

The diagnostic criteria of abnormal labor
1509/04/16
4. Precipitate labor and delivery
 Expulsion of the fetus in less than 3 hours
cervical dilation ≥ 5cm /hr in a primigravida
 ≥ 10cm /hr in a multipara.
 Causes
abnormally low birth canal resistance
extremely strong uterine contractions
The absence of painful sensations
1609/04/16
 Complications
 Maternal
 uterine rupture
 extensive lacerations of the cervix, vagina, vulva, or perineum
 PPH from uterine atony
 Fetal
 Perinatal mortality and morbidity
 intracranial hemorrhage
 risks associated with unattended delivery
 Management
 stop any oxytocin if being administered
 no significant use of analgesia
 terbutaline or ritodrine intravenously
 Physical attempts to retard delivery are absolutely contraindicated
1709/04/16
Abnormalities of birth canal (passage)
 involve aberrations of pelvic structure and its relationship to the
presenting part
 The abnormalities may be related to:
 size or configurational alterations
 soft-tissue abnormalities
 reproductive tract masses
 aberrant placental location.
Mechanism
 For Contracted pelvis , the fetus has difficulty in passing through birth
canal.
 The labor is protracted or arrested.
 Secondary uterine inertia occurs.
1809/04/16
Assessment of the passages
 Bony pelvis – clinical pelvimetry
 Soft tissue dystocia – vaginal exam
 Contracted pelvis:
 Contracted Pelvic inlet
 obstetric conjugate <10cm
 diagonal conjugate<11.5cm
 greatest transverse diameter
is < 12 cm
1909/04/16
Assessment of the passages….
 Contracted midpelvis:
convergence of side walls
prominence of ischial spines
Narrow interspinous
diameter.(normally 10cm)
Normally AP diameter =11.5
2009/04/16
Assessment of the passages…
 Contacted Pelvic out let:
Intertuberous diameter < 8 cm
 narrow subpubic arch
2109/04/16
Diagnostic approach and risk assessment
 Suspect CPD
 Previous prolonged labor with bad
obstetric history or operative delivery
 Primigravida especially if age < 16yrs
 True conjugate of 8 – 10 cm (borderline
CPD)
 Prominent ischial spines, flat sacrum etc
 Gross CPD
 Estimated fetal wt ≥ 4kg
 Hydrocephalus
 Gross traumatic or congenital
pelvic abnormality
 True conjugate and/or
bituberous diameter <8cm
2209/04/16
Abnormalities of birth canal…
Treatment plan
 CS for gross CPD with normal fetus
 Hydrocephalus is managed by craniocentesis
 If gross CPD with normal fetus is dxed, elective CS –apro.
 Suspected CPD:
 Plan place of delivery at a hospital
Conduct trial of labor using partograph
Emergency CS is done when CPD is diagnosed after trial of labor
N.B. Absolute CI of vaginal delivery after clinical or x-ray estimation
contracted pelvis is out dated, so trial of labor is necessary
2309/04/16

2509/04/16
Abnormalities of fetus (passenger)…
Diagnostic approach
 Clinical assessment is usually diagnostic especially in labor with dilated
cervix through which Vaginal Exam. provides adequate information.
 Ultrasound is mainly used to:
 investigate predisposing factors (e.g., placenta previa, fetal goiter)
 assess fetal condition
 assess attitude of the fetus especially in breech
 confirm clinical diagnosis etc
2609/04/16
Malposition and Malpresentation
Occiput posterior
The occiput is posterior in relation to the maternal pelvis
(contracted anthropoid or android)
Diagnosis:
Abdominal findings
 Anteriorly palpable fetal limbs
 Fetal heart heard in the flank
Vaginal findings
 Posterior fontanelle towards the sacrum
 Anterior fontanelle felt anteriorly if neck is flexed
2709/04/16

patients
 Other fetal causes of dystocia: Hydrocephalus, distended bladder, ascites,
enlarged kidneys or liver
3809/04/16
Shoulder dystocia…
Diagnosis
 Shoulder dystocia is a subjective clinical diagnosis.
 It should be suspected when the fetal head retracts into the
perineum (ie, turtle sign) after expulsion due to reverse
traction from the shoulders being impacted in the pelvic inlet.
 The diagnosis can be made when the routine practice of gentle,
downward traction of the fetal head fails to accomplish
delivery of the anterior shoulder.
09/04/16 39
Shoulder dystocia…
 Maternal consequences
PPH- atony, laceration
 Fetal consequences
 fetal morbidity and mortality
Brachial plexus injury due to down ward traction on the
brachial plexus during delivery of the ant shoulder
4009/04/16
Shoulder dystocia…
MX of shoulder dystocia
 Techniques used to free the ant shoulder
from its impacted position
 Moderate suprapubic pressure with
down ward traction to the fetal head
 The MC Roberts maneuver
 hyperflexion of maternal legs upon
to the abdomen
• Cause straightening of the sacrum
relative to the lumbar vertebrae
09/04/16 41
Shoulder dystocia…
 Rubin
 The fetal shoulders are rocked from
side to side by applying force to the
maternal abdomen
 The pelvic hand pushes accessible
fetal shoulder toward the ant. surface
of the chest
 results in abduction of both
shoulders
 produce smaller shoulder to
shoulder diameter
 Fracture of the clavicle
 by pressing the ant clavicle against
the ramus of the pubis
 to free the shoulder impaction
 Zavanelli maneuver
 cephalic replacement into the pelvis
and then c/ delivery
09/04/16 42
Compound presentation(complicates 0.1% of deliveries)
 A prolapsed extremity alongside the
presenting part
 Hand with head.
 Hand with breach
 Leg with head
Mgt:-If suspected CPD or any other indication
for CS
⇒CS
 Closely monitor labor or put the woman in
the knee-chest position; push the arm above
the pelvic brim; and hold it there till a
contraction pushes the head into the pelvis:
If procedure succeeds, expect
vaginal delivery
If procedure fails or complication
arise (cord prolapse), deliver by CS
09/04/16 43
Abnormalities of the powers
 it is the most important expulsive force.
 Bring about dilation of cervix and expulsion of fetus and
placenta.
 Common causes:
 1° uterine inertia – abnormal uterine contraction frequency,
duration and intensity that is due to inherent myometrial
dysfunction
Mainly affects primigravid labors without other additional
factors
4409/04/16
Etiologies….
 2° uterine inertia – causes
Prolonged labor
Malpresentations/ malpositions
Epidural analgesia
 Uterine myomata
Fetopelvic disproportion
Abruptio placentae
4509/04/16
Abnormalities of the powers…
 2 categories
 Hypotonic
 insufficient force, irregular or infrequent rhythm
 Cause: Sedation, over distension of the uterus, early
administration of anesthesia
 Rx: -augmentation(ARM or oxytocin)
-general labor support mgt
4609/04/16
Abnormalities of the powers …
Hypertonic
Uncoordinated and frequent intense uterine contractions
Midsegment of uterus has more pressure power than the
fundus
Cause: over use of oxytocin,
Rx:tocolysis, decrease in oxytocin infusion, or C/S
4709/04/16
Abnormalities of the powers …
Assessment of powers of labor
 3 ways:
 Palpation of uterine contractions
 External tocodynamometer
 Intrauterine pressure catheter monitoring
Clinical presentation
 Abdominal palpation: uterine contraction is weak, and intervals is
prolonged.
 Abnormal labor course: the most important clinical presentation.
4809/04/16
Abnormalities of the powers …
Management
The Vaginal examination: r/o CPD
To determine fetal presentation, position and station.
To assess the cephalopelvic relation.
To consider the route of delivery.
The supportive management
Sufficient rest
To relieve anxiety and fear.
Fluid and food intake.
4909/04/16
Abnormalities of the powers …
Augmentation
 Increase the frequency and force of the existing uterine contractions.
 Methods:
 Amniotomy
 oxytocin administration
Amniotomy :
 If the fetal head is engaged, amniotomy is a choice to facilitate the uterine
activity.
 After amniotomy the fetal head descends , pressing directly on cervix to
enforce uterine contraction⇒ accelerating labor.
5009/04/16
Abnormalities of the powers …
Oxytocin
 uterine contraction
 CI:
CPD,
severe fetal malposition.
 placenta previa, brow presentation, face with MP, twin pregnancy,
extensive genital wart, cervical cancer, uterine scar, NRFHR
Secondary powers failure – Instrumental assistance

 In the active phase, plotting of cervical dilatation will remain on the left of
or on the alert line
 If it moves to the right of the alert line, labour may be prolonged
 Transfer if facility for emergencies is not available
 Carful reassessment of labour and decision on further management made
7609/04/16
Example 5
7709/04/16
At the Action Line
 It is 4 hours to the right of Alert line
 Assess the cause of slow progress and take action
 Action may include; termination of preg, augmentation,
observation with supportive therapy
Remember
 Reaching the action line means
 POSSIBLE DANGER
 Think possible cause manage accordingly
7809/04/16
Management of Labor
Normal Latent and Active Phases
Not intervene unless complications develop
ARM may be done at any time in the active phase
7909/04/16
Between Alert and Action lines
• In a Health Centre:
Transfer to hospital with facilities for Cesarean section, unless
Cervix is almost fully dilated
ARM may be performed if membranes are still intact and observe
labor for a short period before transfer
• In Hospital:
Perform ARM if membranes are intact and continue routine
observations
8009/04/16
THIS INTERVAL

At or Beyond Active phase Action Line
 Full medical assessment
 Consider IV infusion/bladder catheterization
 Options: Delivery if fetal distress or obstructed labor
 Oxytocin augmentation if no contraindication
 Supportive therapy (only if satisfactory progress is now established and
dilatation could be anticipated at 1cm/hr or faster)

Mgt of abnormal labor & partograph

  • 1. By Gelaye Mandefro Ambo University Department of Medicine September 2016 seminar on Management of abnormal labor and partograph 09/04/16 1
  • 2. Outline of presentation  Introduction  Section I: Etiologies & management of abnormal labor Abnormal patterns of labor  Abnormalities of the passage  Abnormalities of the passenger  Abnormalities of the power  Section II: Partograph 09/04/16 2
  • 3. Introduction  Normal Labor is a sequence of uterine contractions that results in effacement and dilatation of the cervix and voluntary bearing-down efforts leading to the expulsion per vagina of the products of conception  Abnormal labor is labor that deviates from the course of normal labor  several labor abnormalities that may interfere with the orderly progression to spontaneous delivery=>dystocia  Without timely intervention, abnormal labor usually leads to prolonged labor  Maternal and neonatal complications are increased with increasing duration of labor  One of the main objectives of monitoring labor is to detect abnormal progress of labor before it is prolonged 09/04/16 3
  • 4. Incidence of labor abnormalities  Difficult to determine the exact incidence.  In nulliparous patients, the incidence of labor disorders is ≈ 25%  Dystocia is currently the most common (50 - 60%) indication for 1˚ C/S, ≈ 3X more common than either NRFHRP or malpresentation. 409/04/16
  • 5. Etiologies  The causes of abnormal labor are generally fall in to the following: A. Abnormal patterns of labor B. Abnormalities of the passage C. Abnormalities of the passenger D. Abnormalities of the power 09/04/16 5
  • 6. Abnormal Patterns of Labor  Friedman described four abnormal patterns of labor 1. prolonged latent phase 2. protraction disorders (protracted active-phase dilatation and protracted descent) 3. arrest disorders (arrest of dilatation, arrest of descent, and failure of descent), and 4. precipitate labor disorders. 09/04/16 6
  • 7. Disorders of latent phase 1. Prolonged latent phase  From the onset of regular uterine contractions to the beginning of the active phase of cervical dilatation  The latent phase is abnormally prolonged if it lasts:  more than 20 hours in nulliparas or  more than 14 hours in multiparas  Causes of prolonged latent phase include:  use of general anesthesia before labor enters the active phase,  labor beginning with an unfavorable cervix,  irregular, uncoordinated, and ineffective uterine contractions, and  fetopelvic disproportion 09/04/16 7
  • 8. Prolonged latent phase… Treatment options  primarily consist of therapeutic rest regimens or active management of labor  Adequate rest  Rehydration  Oxytocin stimulation OR cesarean delivery for urgent problems.  If immediate delivery is required for clinical reasons (eg, severe preeclampsia or amnionitis), oxytocin infusion is the treatment of choice. 09/04/16 8
  • 9. Diagnosis and management of prolonged latent phase of labor 9 Augmentation + ARM Note: If there is rupture of fetal membranes and contractions cease, manage her as PROM09/04/16
  • 10. Disorders of the Active Phase… 2. Protraction Disorders  May be divided into:  protracted active-phase dilatation and  protracted descent  Protracted active-phase dilatation:  characterized by an abnormally slow rate of dilatation in the active phase,  less than 1.2 cm/h in nulliparas or less than 1.5 cm/h in multiparas.  Protracted descent of the fetus:  Characterized by a rate of descent;  less than 1 cm/h in nulliparas or  less than 2 cm/h in multiparas.  The second stage of labor is protracted when the stage exceeds:  2 hours in nulliparas or 1 hour in multiparas, or  3 and 2 hours, respectively, in the presence of conduction anesthesia.09/04/16 10
  • 11. Protraction Disorders…  Cause of a protraction disorder:  Is probably multifactorial  Inadequate uterine activity(the most common)  Fetopelvic disproportion  Abnormal positioning of the fetal presenting part  improperly administered conduction anesthesia  excessive sedation and,  pelvic tumors obstructing the birth canal 09/04/16 11
  • 12. Protraction Disorders…  Treatment of protraction disorders:  Depends on the presence or absence of fetopelvic disproportion, and  The adequacy of uterine contractions,  Cesarean section is indicated in the presence of confirmed fetopelvic disproportion  In the absence of fetopelvic disproportion,  conservative management:  consisting of support and close observation, and  therapy with oxytocin augmentation  both carry a good prognosis for vaginal delivery (approximately two-thirds of patients) 09/04/16 12
  • 13. 3. Arrest Disorders  The two patterns of arrest in labor can be characterized as follows:  secondary arrest of dilatation  with no progressive cervical dilatation in the active phase of labor for 2 hours or more and  Arrest of descent with descent failing to progress for 1 hour or more.  Causative factors: fetopelvic disproportion(in approximately 50%) fetal malpositions, inappropriately administered anesthesia, and excessive sedation.  Arrest disorders in the presence of adequate uterine contractions carry a poor prognosis for vaginal delivery.  If allowed to continue, arrest disorders are associated with increased perinatal morbidity. 09/04/16 13

Editor's Notes

  1. NRFHRP:non reassuring fetal pattern The most common indications for primary cesarean delivery include, in order of frequency, labor dystocia, abnormal or indeterminate (formerly, nonreassuring) fetal heart rate tracing, fetal malpresentation, multiple gestation, and suspected fetal macrosomia
  2. Psyche: mother’s readiness
  3. Emanuel Friedman is a retired American obstetrician. He analysed thousands of women during labour in the 1950s, and from his statistics produced a graphical representation of an ‘ideal’ labour, which remains known as the Friedman curve. 
  4. The onset of latent labor is considered to be the point at which regular uterine contractions are perceived. Friedman found that the mean duration of latent labor was 6.4 hours for nulliparas and 4.8 hours for multiparas. maximum length in latent labor was 20 hours for nulliparous women and 14 hours for multiparous
  5. After 6–12 hours of rest with sedation and hydration, 85% of patients spontaneously enter the active phase of labor, and further progression in dilatation and effacement may be expected Ten percent of patients will have been in false labor and can be allowed to return home to await the onset of true labor if no other indications for delivery are present. In the remaining 5% of patients, uterine contractions remain ineffective in producing dilation; in the absence of any contraindication, augmentation with oxytocin infusion may be effective in progression to the active phase of labor.
  6. Although the initiating mechanism for extraordinarily forceful uterine contractions usually is not known, abnormal contractions may be associated with administration of oxytocin. Strong uterine contractions (both in force and increased basal tone) may accompany placental abruption. Little is known about causes of low birth canal resistance.
  7.  primary uterine inertiasecondary uterine inertiatrue uterine inertia absence of effective uterine contractions during labor; primary uterine inertia, true uterine inertia, uterine inertiathat occurs when the uterus fails to contract with sufficient force to effect continuous dilation or effacement of thecervix or descent or rotation of the fetal head, and when the uterus is easily indentable at the acme of contraction;secondary uterine inertia, uterine inertia that occurs when the uterine contractions are initially vigorous but then decrease in vigor, and the progress of labor ceases.
  8. FETOPELVIC DISPROPORTION ■ Pelvic Capacity Fetopelvic disproportion arises from diminished pelvic capacity, excessive fetal size, or more usually both. Any contraction of the pelvic diameters that diminishes its capacity can create dystocia during labor. There may be a contraction of the pelvic inlet, the midpelvis, or the pelvic outlet, or a generally contracted pelvis may be caused by combinations of these.
  9. Pelvimetry is the assessment of the female pelvis[1] in relation to the birth of a baby. Pelvic planes[edit] Diameters of inferior aperture of lesser pelvis (female). Pelvic inlet: The line between the narrowest bony points formed by the sacral promontory and the inner pubic arch is termed obstetrical conjugate: It should be 11.5 cm or more. This anteroposterior line at the inlet is 2 cm less than thediagonal conjugate (distance from undersurface of pubic arch to sacral promontory). The transverse diameter of the pelvic inlet measures 13.5 cm. Midpelvis: The line between the narrowest bone points connects the ischial spines; it typically exceeds 12 cm. Pelvic outlet: The distance between the ischial tuberosities (normally &amp;gt; 10 cm), and the angulation of the pubic arch.
  10. Pendulous abdomen: abnormally relaxed anterior wall of the abdomen hangs over the pubis
  11. Malposition and malpresentation the commonest cause of dystocia
  12. When the fetal head engages but for various reasons does not rotate spontaneously in the midpelvis as in normal labor, midpelvic transverse arrest is diagnosed Deep transverse arrest occasionally occurs at the inlet, with molding and caput succedaneum formation falsely indicating a lower descent. Cesarean section is required.
  13. When the diagnosis is made in the third trimester prior to labor, external cephalic version (ECV) enables a number of these patients to undergo vaginal delivery. Abnormal axial lies have a 20 times greater incidence of cord prolapse than do vertex presentations.
  14. If all maneuvers fail and there is a chance for a good fetal outcome, a symphysiotomy or the Zavanelli procedure may be performed. This last maneuver consists of re-placement of the fetal head into the vagina in the flexed position, followed by urgent cesarean section.
  15. The Open-Knee-Chest helps back the baby out of the pelvic brim and start again in a better position
  16. Studies of normal uterine activity during labor have revealed the following characteristics: (1) the relative intensity of contractions is greater in the fundus than in the midportion or lower uterine segment (fundal dominance); (2) the average value of the intensity of contractions is more than 24 mm Hg (in the active phase of labor, pressures often increase to 40–60 mm Hg); (3) contractions are well synchronized in different parts of the uterus; (4) the basal resting pressure of the uterus is between 12 and 15 mm Hg; (5) the frequency of contractions progresses from 1 every 3–5 minutes to 1 every 2–3 minutes during the active phase; (6) the duration of effective contraction in active labor approaches 60 seconds; and (7) the rhythm and force of contractions are regular.
  17. In this WHO partograph study, after using the partograph, there were significantly fewer women who had labor longer than 18 hours, needed augmentation of labor or had postpartum infection.
