Summary : Definitions Risks on mother and fetus Predisposing factors Breech. occipito posterior. face. brow. shoulder, compound .
Definitions : 1- Presentation :- leading part of the fetus that presents to the lower uterine segment. 2- Malpresentation : any other presentation other than vertex 3- Position : relationship of presenting part to the pelvic brim.
Definitions (cont): 4- Denominator : Most definable peripheral point in the presenting part - Vertex- occiput - Face- mentum - Breech- sacrum 5- Position at start of labour - 90 %:LOA,ROA,OA
Risks on mother and fetus: 1- Prolonged and obstructed labour 2- Ruptured uterus 3- Difficult C/S, forceps, ventouse -traumatic delivery 4- Complications of puperperium 5- Vesico vaginal fistula 6- Increased maternal and perinatal mortality
Prevention of Risks: 1- Early diagnosis 2- Monitoring 3- Trained attendant 4- Facilities
Predisposing factors 1-Pre-maturity 2- Contracted pelvis- malformation 3- Multiple pregnancy 4- Polyhydramnios 5- Big baby 6- Congenital malformation of fetus
Breech (cont ): 6- Risks to the fetus: 6.1 Stillbirth - Intracranial haemorrhage Rapid moulding and rapid correction of moulding Rapid uncontrolled delivery - Asphyxia Slow delivery. Pressure of cord between fetal body and pelvic wall - Medullary coning through foramen magnum - Spinal cord injury. 6.2 Other injuries ( brachial plexus - femur- liver) 6.3 Intraprtum asphyxia ( dystocia , cord prolapse )
Breech (cont) Management Ante partum: 1- Identify cause by U/S 2- External Cephalic Version (ECV) 3- If ECV fail: Decide C/S or assisted vaginal delivery
Breech (cont) ECV: In hospital where C/S can be done immediately 37 weeks. <37 = per-term. > 37 = difficult Success= 60% in multipara 40% in primigravida
Preparation (ECV): U/S: confirm, back IUGR, liquor CTG: 20 min before Procedure . well Nothing by mouth Empty bladder I.V line 0.25 mg turbutaline subcutaneous 15 min before start ( tocolytic Trendelenberg position
Procedure (ECV): Elevate breech from pelvis Flex fetus and rotate in direction of nose Transverse Guide head in pelvis CTG for 30 min (reactive- no contraction )
Procedure (ECV): If no success after 15 min stop Stop if severe pain or bradycardia If bradycardia persists revert ECV If still bradycardia C/S
Breech (cont) Contraindications for ECV: Vaginal delivery not possible Multiple pregnancy IUGR Previous C/S APH
Breech (cont) Complications of ECV: Premature labour Cord accident Abruptio placenta IUFD Feto -maternal transfusion Bradycardia
Breech (cont) Difficult ECV: Primigravida Obese Decrease liquor Anterior placenta Early labour Big baby Irritable uterus
Breech (cont) If ECV fails decide: C/S, Vagianl :
Elective C/S Hypertension, diabetes, APH Big baby ≥ 3.8 kg Contracted pelvis < 4.5"AP IUGR Previous SB Relative infertility
Elective C/S Primigravida Previous C/S Footling Hydrocephalus Hyperextended head
Breech (cont) Vaginal delivery: - Adequate pelvis - Wt: < 3.8 kg - No complication - Multipara - Malformed baby
Breech (cont) Mechanism of labour: 1- Engagement- bitrochantric diameter transverse and sacrum ventral 2- Anterior hip rotates anteriorly under the pubic arch 3- Post hip deliver by lateral flexion 4- Baby straightens and anterior hip delivers 5- Legs and feet
Mechanism of labour: 6- Ext rotation- shoulders antero posterior 7- Head Fixed under pubic arch Deliver by flextion (chin-mouth-nose-brow-vertex- occiput ) 8- Keep back anterior 9- Second stage not more than 30 min
Breech (cont) Management during labour: 1- First stage: Assess mother-fetus Look for cord prolapse Monitor mother+fetus C/S:fetal distress, maternal distress, failure of progress (no syntocinon )
Management during labour (cont): 2- Second stage: - The larges part of baby delivers last - Spontanous - Extraction(only second twin)
Breech (cont): Assisted vaginal delivery: 1- Empty bladder 2- Cervix fully dilated 3- L ook for cord 4- Sacrum anterior 5- Prineum distended and breech climbs perineum
Breech (cont): Assisted vaginal delivery: 6- Pudendal block 7- Episitomy 8- Delvier buttocks and legs 9- Frank breech: abduct thigh and flex knee deliver 10- Hold baby back anterior
Assisted vaginal delivery (cont): 11- WAIT DO NOT PULL
Assisted vaginal delivery (cont): 12- Deliver arms when scapula appears 13- Extended arms due to pulling (LOVSET) - Rotation of body so that the posterior shoulder becomes anterior and below pubic symphysis 14- Leave baby hang by gravity (supported) flexed and engaged 15- Nape of neck under symphysis pubis
Deliver Head: A- Mauriceau smellie veit Two fingers press over maxilla to flex the head, suprapubic pressure. Shoulder traction B- Swing the trunk towards the maternal abdomen until the mouth and nose are visible C- Forceps Piper-Neville Barnes Forceps Long Forceps when MSV fails
OCCIPITOPOSTERIOR (OP) AND DEEP TRANSEVERSE ARREST: 1- Normally head engages with occiput lateral (LOL,ROL) Usually rotates anterior (OA). 80% well flexed. Presenting diameters: suboccipito bregmatic + biparietal 9.5 × 9.5 cm Rarely delivers occipito lateral (small baby) 2- In 1/5 labour starts with occipitposterior.Usually ROP Good contractions: 80% flexion and rotates anterior OA Rarely rotates to deep transverse arrest - C/S.
OP (cont) 3- Head engages as OP Small baby and anthropoid pelvis No rotation. Deliver face to pubis 4- Persistent occipito posterior Defelxed head Occipito frontal diameter 4 1/2 11.5 cm Large diameter-difficult labour
OP (cont) Associate with: Android and anthropoid pelvis Epidural analgesia Most unknown
OP (cont): Diagnosis : Flat abdomen Fetal parts anterior Difficult to feel the back Fetal heart at flanks
OP (cont) Vaginal Examination: 1- Early in labour Head is high and anterior fontanelle occupies the center. Posterior fontanelle high and sagital suture anteropsterior 2-Late in labour Moulding +caput Parietal bones overlap on each other and on the occiput Diagnosis difficult, feel ears Asymetrical dilatation of Cervix oedema of anterior Lip
OP (cont) Features of labour: Back pain Prolonged and Obstructed Early rupture of membranes Cord prolapse Lacerations-vagina perineum
OP (cont) Management: 1-Similar to occipito anterior 2- Monitoring Fetal distress Maternal distress Failure of progress 3- In primigravida syntocinon may correct position
OP (cont) Management: 4- Mode of delivery: Spontaneous delivery face to pubis Fetal distress or maternal distress or cord prolapse in first stage=CS Failure of progress (after syntocinon ) in first stage=C/S Fetal distress or maternal distress in second stage and head not engaged = C/S
OP (cont) Management: 4- Mode of delivery: Head not engaged, no FD or MD, second stage = syntocinon Fetal distress or maternal distress or failure of progress in second stage and head engaged= Vacuum: enhance rotation and delivery OA. Forceps: Deliver face to pubis Manual rotation- flex head+rotate

Face presentation (cont): 4- Labour : Face bones not comperssable Submento bregmatic diameter 9.5 cm Prolonged labour, early rupture of membranes Strats mento -lateral and rotates to mentoanterior Neck fixed under pubic arch and head delivers by flexion Mento posterior rotates to mentoanterior Persistent nentoposterior - impossible vaginal .
Face presentation (cont): 5- Management : Evaluate condition carefully after diagnosis Vaginal delivery – Mento anterior and mento lateral: Monitor (FD,MD, Failure progress) Large episiotomy
Face presentation (cont): 5- Management: Contra- indicated Syntocinon . Vacuum Scalp electrode - Forceps may be used

Transverse lie or shoulder presentation (cont): Vaginal examination: Early labour: bag of water with fetal parts Late labour: membranes ruptured Shoulder presents in back down transevers lie ( ribe in medial side of axilla , clavicle, acromion ) Arm proplapse .

Transverse lie or shoulder presentation (cont): Management Antepartum: 1- U/S (Placenta previa etc) 2- Attempt ECV 3- C/S Management in labour : C/S
PROPLAPSE AND PRESENTATION OF CORD: Aetiology : 1- Malpresentaion malposition 2- Multiparous -high head at start of labour 3- Polyhydramnios 4- ARM-high head 5- ECV 6- Forceps-vacuum 7- Long cord 8- Pre-term .
Prolapse and presentation of the cord (cont): 1- Proplapse : Membranes ruptured - Diagnosed : visual, vag examination Bradycardia : Cord spasm. Compressed. Asphyxia 2- Presentation : membranes not ruptured (C/S)
Management of Prolapsed cord : 1- Keep cord in vgina 2- Elevate foot of bed.fill bladder 3- Never attempt to reposition in uterus 4- Forceps:alive +fully dilated cervix 5- C/S:alive 6- Vaginal : dead.
