1. Third stage of labor: events &
management
Prophylaxis of PPH
Dr. Renu Singh
2. Labor
• Physiological process
• The products of conception passed form uterus to
outside world
• Normal labour: spontaneous in onset, at term, vertex
presentation, natural termination without any
complications affecting health of mother &/or
newborn
• Three stages of labor
3. Stages of labour
• First stage : onset of true labour pains to full
dilatation of cervix
• Second stage: full dilatation of cervix to
expulsion of fetus from birth canal
• Third stage: after expulsion of fetus to
expulsion of placenta & membranes
(afterbirths)
4. Third stage: events
• After expulsion of fetus to expulsion of
placenta & membranes (afterbirths)
• Duration :15 min.(primigravida multigravida)
• AMTSL:5 minutes
• Placental separation
• Placental expulsion
5. Placental separation
• Sudden diminution in uterine size following
delivery of fetus
• Limited placental elasticity
• Creates disproportion between two
• Placenta buckles : placental separation
• Spongy layer of decidua basalis
• 2 ways : central, marginal separation
6. Methods of placental separation
Central ( Schultze) separation
Marginal (Mathews Duncan) separation
7.
8. Expulsion of placenta
• Contraction & retraction of Upper Uterine
Segment
• Placenta forced to lie in LUS/upper vagina
• Voluntary contraction of abdominal muscles
• Expulsion of placenta
9. Mechanisms to control bleeding
1. Effective retraction of
uterine muscles :
Living ligatures
2. Thrombosis of torn
sinuses
3. Myotamponade:
apposition of walls of
the uterus
10. Management of third stage
• Most crucial stage
• Strict vigilance
• Follow protocols
• Expectant management
• Active management
11. Expectant management
• Look for 3 classic signs of placental separation
– Lengthening of U. cord
– A gush of blood from vagina signifying separation
of placenta from uterine wall
– Change in shape of uterine fundus from discoid to
globular with elevation of fundal height
• Spontaneous/Controlled cord traction (CCT)
• Expulsion of placenta :20 minutes
12. Expectant management
• Massage the uterus
• Intramuscular Oxytocin : 10 IU
• Examination of placenta ,membranes, cord
• Inspect vulva, vagina & perineum
13. CCT
• Modified Brandt Andrews method
• Left hand: palmar surface of fingers placed above
pubic symphysis. Body of uterus pushed upwards
& backwards
• Right hand: cord traction in downward &
backward direction
• Uterus feels hard, contracted
18. Active management
• AMTSL: Active Management of Third Stage of Labour
– Prophylactic uterotonic after delivery of baby
( Oxytocin 10 IU ,IM)
– cord clamping, cutting & Controlled cord traction
of U cord
– Uterine massage
• Excites powerful uterine contractions ,aid in early
placental separation, minimises blood loss &
duration of third stage (5 min.)
19. Third stage
• Most crucial
• Life threatening complications
• PPH(postpartum haemorrhage)
• Retained placenta
• Inversion of uterus
• Pulmonary embolism
21. PPH: hard facts
• Globally in 10-11% women having live births
• Duration between onset of massive bleeding
& death: 2 hours
• 14 million women worldwide
• 1.4 million women die annually
• India : 15-25% of maternal deaths due to PPH
26. Prophylaxis of PPH
• Improvement of health status of mother(Hb>11gm%)
• Identify high risk women
• Plan for institutional delivery /SBA
• Strict vigilance of all women in 3rd stage labor
• Practice AMTSL in all
• Examination of afterbirths ,should be a routine
• Explore Uterovaginal canal following difficult/
instrumental, destructive delivery
31. WHO guidelines
• Give uterotonics routinely during 3rd stage labor, in
all births
• Oxytocin 10 IU IM is drug of choice
• Use other uterotonics only when Oxytocin is not
available
• Late cord clamping( 1-3 min after birth) is
recommended
• Early cord clamping (<1min of birth): not
recommended until the neonate is asphyxiated &
needs immediate resuscitation

except:
1. At term
2. Breech presentation
