COMPONENTS OF LABOR (5 P’S)
•POWER (UTERINE CONTRACTION AND BEARING DOWN EFFORTS)
•PASSENGER (THE FETUS)
•PASSAGEWAY (THE PELVIS)
•PLACENTAL POSITION AND FUNCTIONS
•PSYCHOLOGICAL RESPONSE
CEPHALOPELVIC DISPROPORTION

•3 RD
REASON OF DYSTOCIA:
• CONTRACTION OR NARROWING OF THE PASSAGEWAY OR BIRTH CANAL
•NARROWING CAUSES CPD
CEPHALOPELVIC DISPROPORTION

•DISPROPORTION BETWEEN THE SIZE OF THE


FETAL HEAD AND PELVIC DIAMETER
•RESULTS IN FAILURE TO PROGRESS IN LABOR
INLET CONTRACTION

•NARROWING OF:
•ANTEROPOSTERIOR DIAMETER OF THE PELVIS TO LESS
THAN 11 CM
•TRANSVERSE DIAMETER TO LESS THAN 12 CM
INLET CONTRACTION

•USUALLY IS CAUSED BY:


•RICKETS IN EARLY LIFE
•BY INHERITED SMALL PELVIS
INLET CONTRACTION

•RICKETS
•CAUSED BY LACK OF CALCIUM
•RARE IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES
INLET CONTRACTION

• FETAL HEAD NORMALLY ENGAGES BETWEEN WEEKS 36 TO 38 OF
PREGNANCY
• IF ENGAGEMENT DOES NOT OCCUR IN PRIMI, THE FOLLOWING ARE
SUSPECTED:

• PELVIC ABNORMALITY: SMALLER THAN USUAL PELVIS
INLET CONTRACTION

•MULTIGRAVIDA
• ENGAGEMENT: WHEN LABOR BEGINS
• PREVIOUS VAGINAL BIRTH OF FULL TERM W/O PROBLEM PROOF THAT
BIRTH CANAL IS ADEQUATE
INLET CONTRACTION

•PELVIC MEASUREMENT: PRIMIGRAVIDA


•TAKEN AND RECORDED BEFORE WEEK 24 OF PREGNANCY
INLET CONTRACTION

•IF CPD EXIST


•POSSIBLE CORD PROLAPSE
OUTLET CONTRACTION

•NARROWING OF THE TRANSVERSE DIAMETER, DIAMETER


BETWEEN THE ISCHIAL TUBEROSITIES AT THE OUTLET TO

GOOD
•TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE LABOR WILL PROGRESS NORMALLY
TRIAL LABOR
•DISCONTINUE (AFTER A DEFINITE PERIOD: 6-12 HOURS)
