III. Partogram
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
17. I. Assessment
1. History:
1. Woman’s antenatal record is reviewed
2. No records of antenatal care: complete history .
2. Examination
a. General
a) Pallor, edema, abdominal scar (LSCS)
b) Vital signs: BP, pulse, RR and T
c) Heart and lungs
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
18. b. Abdominal examination:
a. Presentation and position and engagement
b. Auscultate the fetal heart
c. Evaluate the uterine contraction
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
26. Do not do vaginal examination:
vaginal bleeding before the placenta previa is
excluded.
Sterile speculum examination:
suspected ROM, if the woman is not in labour.
Admission to labour ward:
Active labour:
Regular painful contractions and
cervical dilatation 3 cm
{less time in the labor ward
less intrapartum oxytocics
less analgesia}
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
28. II. Preparation and care
1. Bowel preparation:
Indicated:
No bowel action for 24 h or
Rectum feels loaded on vaginal examination
similar length of labor and most maternal and
neonatal outcomes
generates discomfort in women
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
29. 2. Bladder care
Encourage to empty bladder /1½ - 2 h.
{A full bladder:
prevent the fetal head from entering the pelvic brim
impede descent of the fetal head.
inhibit effective uterine action}.
The quantity of urine should be measured and recorded
and a specimen obtained for testing.
3. Nutrition
No food is permitted after labour is established
{prevent regurgitation and aspiration}
Small amount of clear fluid or frozen pineapple, Ice chips
to moisten the mouth
Maintain adequate hydration via intravenous routes
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
30. 4. Perineal shaving
No
{is associated with similar maternal febrile
morbidity, wound infection, and neonatal
infection compared with just selective clipping of
hair}
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
31. Routine early ARM
Not recommended
{decrease duration of labor( 60 min, mostly
because of shorter 1st stage),
decrease use of oxytocin,
similar incidence of NRFHR monitoring
similar neonatal outcomes compared with
selective (later or no) AROM
26% increase in CD}
should be reserved for failure to progress
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
32. 5. Position:
Walk about or

fetus in good condition
6. Pain relief
Severe: an analgesic
a) Opiate drugs. e.g. Pethidine IM/4 h
b) Inhalational analgesia e.g. Entonox
c) Epidural analagesia
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
33. III. Monitoring the progress of labour
Once labour has become established, all events
during labour should be recorded on a partogram.
a) Well-being of the fetus
b) Well-being of the mother
c) Progress of the labour
Patient information:
name, gravida, para, hospital number, date and time
of admission and time of ruptured membranes.

50. III. CONDUCTING THE DELIVERY
1. DELIVERY OF THE HEAD
1) Control the delivery of the head to prevent
laceration
2) Episiotomy if required
3) Ritgen’s method
4) Clear the airway after delivery of the had
Modified Ritgen Maneuver
As crowning occurs: exert forward pressure on the chin of the
fetus through the perineum just in front of the coccyx.
Concurrently, the other hand exerts pressure superiorly against
the occiput ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
51. • Instruct the mother to focus on her breathing. Have her
“breathe heavily” to help her stop pushing and prevent a
forceful birth.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
52. • Ask the woman to pant or give
only small pushes with
contractions as the baby’s
head delivers
• To control birth of the head,
place the fingers of one hand
against the baby’s head to
keep it flexed (bent)
• Continue to gently support the
perineum as the baby’s head
delivers
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
53. DELIVERY OF THE HEAD
Head is delivered by extension
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
54. • Once the baby’s
head delivers, ask
the woman not to
push
• Suction the baby’s
mouth and nose
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
56. CORD AROUND THE NECK
Feel around the baby’s
neck for the umbilical cord
If the cord is around the
neck, attempt to slip it over
the baby’s head
If the cord is tight around
the neck, doubly clamp
and cut it before unwinding
it from around the neck
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
57. As the head emerges,
the baby will turn to one
side (for easier passage
of shoulders through
birth canal)
Note the time, if
possible
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
58. • Allow the baby’s head
to turn spontaneously.
• After the head turns,
place a hand on each
side of the baby’s
head.
• Tell the woman to push
gently with the next
contraction.
• Reduce tears by
delivering one
shoulder at a time
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
63. 4. DELIVERY OF THE TRUNK
After the delivery of the shoulders the baby is
grasped around the chest to aid the birth of the
trunk.
Finally, the body is slowly extracted by traction
on the shoulders and lifts the baby towards the
mother’s abdomen.
The time of delivery is noted.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
65. FIRST BODY CONTACT OF MOTHER AND
BABY AND CORD CLAMPING
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
66. 5. CLAMING AND CUTTING
THE UMBILICAL CORD
After delivery
wait 15 to 20 seconds before
clamping and cutting the
umbilical cord.
After cutting the cord a plastic
crushing clamp is placed on
the cord 1 to 2 cm from the
umbilicus and the cord is cut
again 1 cm beyond the clamp.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
69. EPISIOTOMY
Surgical incision into the perineum to enlarge
the space at the outlet
Benefits:
1.Speed up the birth
2.Prevent Tearing
3.Protects against incontinence
4.Protects against pelvic floor relaxation
5.Heals easier than tears
Not proven
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
73. Good analgesia
(infiltration with xylocain )
Timing:
cause bleeding: not be
done too early. Wait
until perineum is
thinned out and
3–4 cm of the baby’s
head is visible during
contraction.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
74. IMMEDIATE CARE OF THE
NEW BORN
Once the baby is breathing normally
he should be dried and warmly
wrapped to prevent cooling and
handle to the mother to hold, cuddle
and enjoy.
If spontaneous respiration is not
established soon after birth,
resuscitation is the immediate
priority.
The Apgar’s score of the baby should
be noted and recorded.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
75. Nonoperative interventions to decrease
operative birth in systematic reviews
(FIGO, 2012):
1. Continuous support for women during
childbirth by one-to-one birth attendants
2. Use of upright or lateral positions during
delivery compared with supine or lithotomy
3. Delaying pushing for 1–2 hours or until the
woman has a strong urge to push reduces the
need for rotational and midcavity interventions
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
76. Recommendations FIGO
(2012)
• Delivery facilities must offer everywoman
privacy and allow her to be accompanied by her
choice of a supportive person (husband, friend,
mother, relative, TBA)
• Psychosocial support, education,
communication, choice of position,
and pharmacological methods appropriately
used during the first stage are all useful in
relieving pain and distress in the second stage
of labor.
• Monitoring of FHR must be continued during
2nd stage to allow early detection of bradycardia.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
77. • Routine episiotomy is harmful and should not
be practiced.
• Women should not be forced or encouraged to
push until they feel an urge to push.
• Fetal heart auscultation after every contraction.
• Local anesthetic should always be given for
any episiotomy, episiotomy/ laceration repair, or
forceps delivery.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
78. MANAGEMENT 3rd
STAGE OF
LABOUR
I. Delivery of placenta
II. Examination of placenta and perineum
III. Repair of episeotomy
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
79. I. Delivery OF THE PLACENTA
two stages:
(1) Separation of the placenta from the wall of the
uterus and into the lower uterine segment
and/or the vagina, and
(2) Actual expulsion of the placenta out of the birth
canal.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
80. MECHANISM OF PLACENTA SEPARATION1:
1-Mathews-Duncan
mechanism
The leading edge of
the placenta separates
first and the placenta
is delivered with its
raw surface exposed.
2- Schultz mechanism
If the placenta is inserted
at the fundus and central
area separates first, the
placenta inverts and
draws the membranes
after it, covering the raw
surface (inverted
umbrella)
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
82. SIGNS OF PLACENTALSEPARATION
within 5 minutes after the delivery of the infant.
1.The uterus becomes globular and hard. =earliest
to appear.
2.Sudden gush of blood
3.The uterus rises in the abdomen because the
placenta, having separated, passes down into
the lower segment and vagina, where its bulk
pushes the uterus upward.
4.Cord lengthening.

includes:
1. use of oxytocin
2. controlled cord traction, and
3. uterine massage.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
86. Once the signs of placental
separation have occurred the
obstetrician assists delivery of
the placenta by controlled cord
traction as described by Brandt-
Andrews’ method.
If the patient is awake, she is asked
to bear down while gentle
traction is made on the umbilical
cord.
A) Placenta separation
B) Controlled cord traction
C) Delivery of the membranes
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
89. II. EXAMINATION
1. OF THE PLACENTA
The placenta, membranes, and umbilical cord should
be examined for completeness and for anomalies.
2. OF THE PERINEUM
At the same time, the perineal region, vulva outlet,
vaginal canal, and the cervix should be carefully
examined for lacerations.
If the perineum has been torn or an episiotomy
made, tear or incision should be repaired
immediately.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
90. III. REPAIR OF EPISIOTOMY
Suture as soon as possible after delivery to avoid
bleeding and infection (RCOG)
Start just above the apex
Use 3 layer technique, vaginal mucosa, perennial
muscle and perineal skin
Synthetic, absorbable (rapidly absorbable polyglactin
910) VICRYL RAPIDE begins to fall off 7-10 days post-
operatively
reduced post partum perineal pain, dyspareunia,
although increased suture removal up to 3/12
For each layer use loose continuous non locking
suturing this will reduce pain and dyspareunia.
