June 09, 2023Induction of Labor
Indications:
Post-dates (42+wks)
Late Term (41+ wks)
Elective 39+wks
Diabetes
Hypertension
Many more - check out ACOG Medically indicated delivery

39week induction
ARRIVE Trial - Multicenter RCT showing benefit to 39wk IOL over expectant management to ~41wks
Included
Primips
No medical indications for IOL prior to 40+5

Results
IOL group had LOWER c-section rate than expectant group
Neonatal composite outcome had a trend (not statistically significant) toward lower neonatal compilations in IOL group
Conclusion
IOL at 39wks is as safe as expectant management without increased risks
Many pregnant people are now offered a 39wk IOL rather than waiting for spontaneous labor

The IOL Process:

Evaluate and Prep:
Full H&P
Ultrasound for position - Vertex
VE for cervical exam: dilation/effacement/Station, also position and consistency
Calculate Bishops Score → help determine mode of IOL

Options for IOL: if biship score <8 for prime or <6 for multip, ripen first!
Mechanical cervical ripening (balloon)
Chemical cervical ripening (misoprostol or cervidil)
Best yet--both!

Contractions (pitocin)
Prime: Pitocin alone if Biship 8 or higher
Mulitp: Pitocin alone if bishop 6 or higher

Augmentation: AROM

Failed IOL
Failure to reach active labor after 18+hrs ruptured on pitocin (definition varies 12-24hrs ruptured on pitocin)
If reaches active labor (6+cm), no longer failed IOL, now arrest of dilation or descent

June 08, 2023Shoulder dystocia
Definition: Failure to deliver fetal shoulders with normal downward traction
Why we care: Baby hypoxia, brachial plexus injuries, maternal injuries
Risk factors:
DM, excessive weight gain in pregnancy, S>D, Large baby
Hx of shoulder dystocia (~10-15% recurrence)
Turtling while pushing
Prevention
No real prevention as SD is very hard to predict
Offer cesarean delivery if EFW is >5000g and no DM, or >4500g and any type of DM
What do to:
Step back. If comfortable, can help minimize family interference. Calmly explain what is happening and what the docs are doing.
Offer to be the Timekeeper. Write down times and what is happening. Announce every 2 minutes.
What you’ll see:
Prep: Hypothesize shoulder orientation for suprapubic pressure, place stool
Announce problem- call for help
Maneuvers - McRobers, suprapubic
Posterior arm
Rotational: Wood’s screw, Rubin
Gaskins- all 4s
Episiotomy
Zavanelli

Hep B: Treatable, not curable. Routine serum screening.
No Routine Screening, diagnose if lesion
HSV: Antivirals as needed for outbreaks, can prophylax if frequent outbreaks/immunosuppressed. Valacyclovir or acyclovir are most common.

February 13, 2018 Before Your First: Colposcopy and LEEP
Why: ASCCP guidelines (there is an app! Or PDF)
Cervical dysplasia — caused by HPV
CIN I–CIN3 is a progression
Risk factors: Smoking, other STIs including HIV, immunodeficiency

Histology: Increased Nuclear: cytoplasmic ratio when abnormal
Acetic Acid: exact mechanism unknown, the higher N:C ratio cells (aka abnormal cells) reflect more light and appear white.
Lugols: Iodine rich-reacts with glycogen in normal squamous cells so they appear dark. Non-staining cells are abnormal.

HPV — changes
Colpo:
Increased vascularity, punctations, mosaicism, surface contour changes

LEEP:
Stain abnormality and know where abnormal biopsy was taken
Single pass is ideal–tag a side for orientation
+/- Top Hat depending on ECC result

CKC:
Higher up in cervical canal, but more complications
No electricity– okay if pregnant
