Internal contraction monitoring provides a quantitative assessment of intrauterine resting tone. During the course labor, elevated tone may be identified. We hypothesized that could lead to compression spiral arteries, thus limiting uterine blood flow and resulting in neonatal compromise. Therefore, our objective was assess association between during labor morbidity.

INTRODUCTION: The numerical pain rating scale (NPRS) is a validated measure to quantify acute pain; however, its utility after vaginal delivery unclear. Poorly controlled postpartum can increase rates of complications; therefore, control paramount. We investigated how subjective relates objective in the period. METHODS: A prospective, observational study at single academic hospital included patients with deliveries February October 2021. Women opioid use disorder, wound complication,...

INTRODUCTION: Maternal obesity increases anesthesia complication at Cesarean Delivery(CD). We sought to evaluate the contribution of technical factors complications during scheduled CD. METHODS: All patients undergoing CD under spinal 37-41 weeks from 2015-2017 were included. Exclusion criteria included planned general anesthesia. Primary outcome was total procedure time. Secondary outcomes: number placement attempts, needle > 3.5 inches, failed with conversion anesthesia, high blockade,...

( Am J Obst Gynecol . 2019;220:389.e1–389.e9) While the maternal risks of cesarean delivery are well documented in literature, less is known about to fetus. Neuraxial block-related hypotension and obesity have been found contribute uterine hypoperfusion umbilical arterial pH depression. Examining time between spinal anesthesia placement could provide insight into these fetus awaiting delivery. The aim this study was evaluate neonatal relation predelivery intervals during scheduled

ABSTRACT Up to 30% of term labor deliveries experience fetal acidemia, a condition usually caused by hypoxia that is associated with adverse neonatal outcomes. The American College Obstetricians and Gynecologists Academy Pediatrics recommend assessing umbilical artery (UA) blood gases at delivery when metabolic status in question. Although UA pH 7.24 7.28 considered normal, the degree acidemia death unclear. Recent data suggest mild (UA 7.0–7.2) certain types (metabolic, mixed, or...

There is evidence to suggest that early amniotomy during induction of labor advantageous. However, following cervical ripening balloon removal, the cervix remains less effaced and utility in this setting clear. We investigated whether effacement at time impacts outcomes among nulliparas undergoing labor.

( Am J Obstet Gynecol. 2022;227:265.e1–8) Fetal acidemia at delivery is a predictor of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Testing fetal umbilical artery (UA) blood gases can help identify neonates with who should receive additional surveillance interventions to prevent long-term adverse outcomes. There debate over which levels are associated morbidity. caused by an interruption in placental gas exchange during contractions labor. does not occur often scheduled, prelabor cesarean (CD),...
