DYSTOCIA ANDREW ROULDAN B. BUIZON, M.D., FPOGS, FSGOP Assistant Professor De La Salle University – Health Sciences Institute

DYSTOCIA • Literally means “Difficult Labor” • Characterized by Abnormally SLOW Progress of Labor

Overview of the lecture I – Normal and Abnormal Labor II – Causes of Dystocia III – Complications of Dystocia

Factors that affect Labor • Power – First stage: uterine contractions – Second stage: uterine contractions + intraabdominal pressure

• Passenger – Fetal Attitude, Presentation, Position – Ability to adapt through Passage

• Passage – Birth canal • *For Normal Labor to take place – Normal 3P’s

Prognosis for Vaginal Delivery • Power – force of uterine contractions • Passenger: – Presentation and Position – Size of fetal head – Adaptability of fetal head

• Passage – size and shape of maternal bony pelvis

Stages of Labor First* -

regular uterine contractions  fully

Second*- full cervical dilatation  delivery baby Third

- delivery of baby  placental delivery

“Fourth” -immediate postpartum *Stages concerned with Dystocia

First Stage of Labor • Latent Phase • Active Phase – Acceleration Phase • Predictive of outcome of labor

– Phase of Maximum slope • Measure of efficiency of the “machine”

– Deceleration Phase • Reflective of fetopelvic relationship

History of the Partograph

Functional Divisions of Labor • Preparatory Division • Dilatational Division • Pelvic Division

Preparatory Division • Latent Phase and Acceleration Phase • Major event – cervical ripening – Softening: changes in ground substance – Effacement: obliteration of cervical canal

• Cervical dilatation – minimal • Fetal descent – minimal to absent • Sensitive to sedation and conduction analgesia

Preparatory Division

Functional Divisions of Labor • Preparatory Division • Dilatational Division • Pelvic Division

Dilatational Division • • • • •

Phase of Maximum Slope Major Event – cervical dilatation Cervical Dilatation – most rapid rate Fetal Descent – minimal Unaffected by sedation and conduction analgesia

Dilatational Division

Functional Divisions of Labor • Preparatory Division • Dilatational Division • Pelvic Division

Pelvic Division • • • • •

Deceleration Phase to Second Stage of labor Major Event – cardinal movements Cervical Dilatation – rapid rate Fetal Descent – maximal Minimally affected by sedation but ‘bearing down’ effort largely affected by conduction analgesia

Pelvic Division

Cervical Dilatation and Fetal Descent • The only characteristics of the parturient useful in assessing labor & its progression • Time vs. Cervical Dilatation – sigmoid curve • Time vs. Fetal descent – hyperbolic curve

Mechanical Forces of Labor • Factors responsible for progression and completion of each stage • First stage: – Uterine power – Cervical resistance – Forward pressure of the fetal head

• Second stage: – Mechanical relationship between fetal head and pelvic capacity

Etiology of Prolonged Latent Phase • • • • •

False Labor = 50% of the time Excessive sedation Unfavorable cervix (thick, uneffaced, closed) Uterine / Labor dysfunction Unknown

Management of Prolonged Latent Phase • Therapeutic Rest – if no C/I to delay for 6-10 hrs – Strong sedatives – Upon waking, 85% = enter active phase 15% = false labor

• Amniotomy – will not accelerate latent phase

• Caesarean section – Not usually done unless with indications

Arrest Disorders • Criteria before diagnosing Arrest disorders: – Latent phase completed (Cx > 4 cms) – Intensity of Uterine contractions > 200 MvU x 2 h • “2-hour rule” for diagnosis of arrest in active phase of labor has recently been challenged • 542 women included where CS delivery was delayed until there were at least 4 hours of a sustained uterine contraction of >200 MvU or a minimum of 6 hours oxytocin augmentation if the contraction pattern could not be achieved

Arrest Disorders • Protocol resulted in high rate of vaginal delivery (92%) w/ no severe adverse maternal or fetal outcomes • “Thus extending the minimum period of oxytocin augmentation for active arrest from 2 hours to 4 hours appears effective” ACOG Practice Bulletin, Compendium 2004

Arrest Disorders • Etiology: – Cephalopelvic disproportion – Hypotonic uterine contraction – Malposition – Excessive sedation / anesthesia

• Management: – CS = 52% have CPD – Augment labor, if no CPD

Overview of the lecture I – Normal and Abnormal Labor II – Causes of Dystocia III – Complications of Dystocia

DYSTOCIA - Abnormal Labor • Other names: Dysfunctional labor, Ineffective labor, Failure to progress • Worldwide - Accounts for 43% of all primary cesarean sections

• Philippines - it accounts for 38.85% Textbook of Obstetrics, 2002

Risk Factors for Dystocia • Associated w/ longer 2nd stage - epidural analgesia - occiput posterior position - longer 1st stage of labor - nulliparity - short maternal stature - birthweight - high station at complete cervical dilatation ACOG Practice Bulletin Compendium 2004

DYSTOCIA - Abnormal Labor Three categories causing Dystocia: (Abnormalities of 3Ps)

• POWERS – Uterine contractility – Expulsive Powers (“Bearing down” in the 2nd Stage of Labor) • PASSENGER – Presentation, Position, or Development of the Fetus

• PASSAGE – Maternal Bony Pelvis (Pelvic Contraction) – Soft Tissues of the Reproductive Tract

Physiology of Uterine Contractions

Methods to Quantify Uterine Activity palpation external tocodynamometry internal uterine pressure sensors

Physiology of Uterine Contractions Uterine contractions characterized by a gradient of myometrial activity: 3. Fundal Dominance • • • •

Onset, intensity & duration Cornual area – ‘pacemaker’ of the uterus Greatest & longest activity at the fundus Diminishing towards the cervix

Physiology of Uterine Contractions 2. Triple Descending Gradient •

Gradient of contractions diminishes from upper to lower segment



Upper uterine segment retracts about the fetus as the fetus descends through birth canal

Physiology of Uterine Contractions • Uterine activity – Montevideo units (MU) – MU = Intensity x Frequency / 10 minutes • Intensity (intrauterine pressure) = peak contraction minus baseline contraction • 200 MU = adequate uterine contractions

UTERINE DYSFUNCTION Causes of Hypotonic Uterine Dysfunction • Uterine overdistention • Grandmultiparity • Sedation • Regional anesthesia

HYPERTONIC UTERINE DYSFUNCTION Also called ‘incoordinate’ uterine dysfunction Causes: • Contraction uterine midsegment • Asynchrony of impulses originating from each cornu

UTERINE DYSFUNCTION REMEMBER, normally there is: • LOW uterine activity in ‘Latent phase of labor • HIGH “ “ ‘Active “ “ So that, if there is: • HIGH uterine activity in Latent phase of labor => HYPERTONIC uterine dysfunction • LOW uterine activity in Active phase of labor => HYPOTONIC uterine dysfunction

CAUSES OF UTERINE DYSFUNCTION A. Epidural analgesia • Lengthens both 1st and 2nd stage of labor • Slows down rate of fetal descent B. Chorioamnionitis C. Maternal position during labor • Uterus contracts more frequently with less intensity in supine vs. lateral decubitus position • Uterus contracts with more frequency and intensity in sitting or standing position William’s Obstetrics, 21st ed.

TREATMENT OF HYPOTONIC UTERINE DYSFUNCTION • Ascertain parturient is in active labor & no CPD: – Cervix > 4 cms – Clinical pelvimetry is adequate in all levels – Presenting part is occiput and engaged

• Oxytocin stimulation

TREATMENT OF HYPOTONIC UTERINE DYSFUNCTION Oxytocin effect uterine activity • cervical change • fetal descent avoid uterine hyperstimulation &/or development of non-reassuring fetal heart status

TREATMENT OF HYPOTONIC UTERINE DYSFUNCTION – Oxytocin should be DISCONTINUED • If uterine contractions persist >5 in a 10minute period or 7 in a 15-minute period • If the contractions LAST LONGER than 6090 seconds • FHR pattern becomes non-reassuring William Obstetrics 21st edition

Complications of Overinfusion of Oxytocin hypotension

Hyperstimulation

tachycardia

Uterine rupture

water retention

Fetal distress

TREATMENT OF HYPERTONIC UTERINE DYSFUNCTION • Characterized by uterine pain out of proportion to intensity of contractions and in effacing & dilating the cervix • Placental abruption must always be considered • Fetal distress (+) – CS (-) - sedation

The Passenger

The Fetus – Position

• Presentation • Development

The Passenger • Normal Position – Occiput anterior • Malpositions: – Persistent Occiput transverse (POT) – Persistent Occiput posterior (POP)

The Passenger • Normal Presentation – Vertex / Cephalic • Malpresentations: – Brow – Face – Breech – Transverse

• Fetal attitude – relationship bet fetal head & body – – – –

Occiput = completely flexed Sinciput = partially flexed Brow = partially extended Face = completely extended

The Passenger • Etiology of deflection attitudes – factors that favor extension or prevent head flexion: – Neck masses – Anencephaly – Large babies – Cord coils – Contracted pelvis – Pendulous abdomen

The Passenger – Fetal Head Diameters ATTITUDE

PRESENTING DIAMETER Flexion* Suboccipitobregmatic (SOB) = 9.5 cm Military** Occipitofrontal (FO) = 11.5 cm Partial Occipitomental Extension** (MO) = 12.5 cm Complete Submentobregmatic Extension* (SMB) = 9.5 cm * Vaginal delivery ** Unstable / transient presentation – dystocia high

DENOMINATOR Occiput Occiput Forehead (Brow) Chin / Mentum (Face)

BROW PRESENTATION • • • • •

Head is partially extended Midway between full flexion & extension Rarest presentation Longest presenting diameter = 12.5 cm Unstable/transient – converts to Face or Occiput presentation

BROW PRESENTATION Diagnosis • Abdominal Exam – > ½ of head above symphysis pubis, – Since OM, Vaginal delivery not possible – Leopold’s Maneuver 2 & 3: • Cephalic prominence same side as fetal back • Occiput and chin palpable

– Occiput palpable at higher level than Sinciput • Occuiput = Posterior fontanel • Sinciput = anterior fontanel

BROW PRESENTATION Diagnosis • Vaginal examination – Anterior fontanel – Frontal sutures – Orbital ridges – Eyes – Root of nose

BROW PRESENTATION – Three possible outcomes during course of Labor: Possible outcome

if head flexes

Vaginal

Face

if head completely extends if no change in position

CS

FACE PRESENTATION • Fetal head is fully extended / hyperextended • Occiput in contact w/ fetal back, chin presents • Abdominal exam: – groove felt bet Occiput & Fetal Back

• Vaginal exam: – Distinct facial features – Sinciput & occiput not palpable

• Etiology: – Any factor that favors extension or prevents flexion (e.g. Anencephaly)

FACE PRESENTATION – Course of Labor • Chin / mentum anterior: – Expect vaginal delivery – CS if obstructed labor

• Chin / mentum posterior: – Vaginal delivery possible only if Internally Rotate anteriorly – Cause of obstructed labor: fetal brow (bregma) pressed against maternal symphysis pubis – Short neck cannot span the curvature of sacrum

FETAL FACTORS •Large fetus •Hyperextended head “stargazing breech” •Healthy preterm fetus where delivery is indicated •Severe IUGR Previous Perinatal Death/ Birth Trauma

BREECH PRESENTATION • Complications – Perinatal M & M – preterm birth, birth trauma, congenital anomalies – Low Birth Weight – prematurity, IUGR – Prolapsed cord – small fetus, fetus not in frank breech – Placenta Previa – Uterine anomalies / Tumors

TRANSVERSE PRESENTATION • Long axis of fetus perpendicular to mother • NO MECHANISM OF LABOR, always CS • Abdomen: SQUAT UTERUS – Usually wide – Fundus only slightly above umbilicus

• Leopold’s Maneuver: – 1 : empty – 2 : fetal back readily identified • If anteriror: hard resistant plane • If posterior: irregular nodulations (FSP)

TRANSVERSE PRESENTATION • Vaginal examination: – Palpate acromion and hands – “Gridiron” – can feel the ribs

• Etiology: – Lax abdominal wall - allows uterus to fall forward, to be deflected away from long axis of birth canal into an Oblique or Transverse Position – Prematurity – Placenta previa – Contracted pelvic – Tumor previa – Multiple pregnancy – Fetal uterine anomalies – polyhydramnios

TRANSVERSE PRESENTATION – Course of Labor

• Neglected Transverse Lie

– Prolonged ROM – Stretched / thinned out LUS – Intrauterine infection – Fetal impaction – Prolapsed cord / arm – Dead baby

TRANSVERSE PRESENTATION – • • • •

Management

It’s a serious malpresentation Management should not be left to nature Spontaneous vaginal delivery impossible Must deliver by CS immediately

Overview of the lecture I – Normal and Abnormal Labor II – Causes of Dystocia III – Complications of Dystocia

MATERNAL COMPLICATIONS • Hemorrhage & Shock – uterine atony • Intrapartum infection – ascending type:

chorioamnionitis, decidua, chorionic vessels, bacteremia, sepsis • Uterine rupture – progressive thinning out of LUS in prolonged labor, esp high parity & previous surgery • Fistula formation – presenting part wedged into pelvic inlet during prolonged labor, tissues of birth canal bet it & pelvic wall subjected to pressure, ischemia, necrosis – Fistula: two cavities joined together (e.g. rectovaginal or vesicovaginal fistulae)

MATERNAL COMPLICATIONS • Postpartum lower extremity injury: – Foot drop: • common peroneal n. + LS plexus or sciatic n. – Inappropriate leg positioning in stirrups – Resolve w/in 6 months postpartum

• Pelvic floor injury: – Directly to pelvic floor m. or their nerve supply

FETAL COMPLICATIONS • Caput succedaneum: – Soft tissue / scalp edema of most dependent portion of fetal head – Overlies the periosteum, cross over periosteal limitations

• Cephalhematoma: – Subperiosteal hemorrhage – Confined by periosteal limits

FETAL COMPLICATIONS – Nerve Injuries • Spinal injury – overstretching with hemorrhage • Brachial plexus – – Duchenne / Erb paralysis: (Upper roots) • Deltoid, infraspinatus, flexor m of forearm • Entire arm fall limply close to side of the body, forearm extended & internally rotated • Function of hand retained • Excesssive lateral traction upon head, sharply flexing head toward one of shoulders

– Klumpke paralysis: (Lower roots) • Paralysis of the hand
