					  FIRST!!					 
					 She states she has been having regular contractions every 5 minutes and some blood tinged mucous. In the office last week she was 2 cm. You check her cervix and she is now 4 cm, 50%, soft, anterior, -2 station. What stage is she in? | 
					  110-160 minimum of 2 minutes in any 10 min segment 
					 What is defined as a normal fetal heart rate? How is baseline determined on EFM? | 
					  parental agents, epidural, spinal, general, pudendal blocks					 
					 Types of anesthesia available | 
					  Onset of labor (regular painful ctx q3-5min) to complete dilation. Latent phase - up to 4cm - Active phase - 4cm to complete.					 
					 Define the first stage of labor? What are the 2 phases? | 
					  E1, 25mcg PV q 4hrs (ususally ~6doses), onset of 30 minutes, no no in VBAC!					 
					 MISOPROSTOL What type of prostaglandin is it? What is the dosing? How fast does it work? | 
| 
					  5 or less					 
					 A Bishops score of ____ suggests that labor is unlikely to start without an induction. | 
					  absent: undetectable minimal:5 or less moderate: 6-25 marked: >25 
					 Define Absent/Minimal/Moderate/Marked variability | 
					  Demerol 25-50mg IV q1-2hr Demerol 50-100mg IM q2-4hr Morphine 2-5mg IV or 10mg IM q4hr Phenergan 25mg IV 
					 parental agents for labor pain | 
					  nulliparous = >20hrs multip = >14hrs 
					 What is considered a PROLONGED latent phase? | 
					  E2, 10mg, usually ~12hrs, per manufacturer: not to start Pit for 6hrs after removal					 
					 CERVIDIL What type of prostaglandin is it? What is the dosing? How long does it stay in? | 
| 
					  RESUSITATE! position change, oxygen to increase maternal-fetal O2 gradient, IVF bolus to corrent hypotension, discontinue PIT, SVE					 
					 You review a pts strip and notice late decelerations, what do you do? | 
					  early: head compression, mirrors ctx and onset to nadir >/=30sec, common in active labor 4-7cm late: gradual decrease with onset to nadir >/=30sec, nadir after peak of ctx variable: abrupt decrease, drop 15bts for 15sec but no more than 2 minutes 
					 Define early, late, variable deceleration | 
					  epidural routine if plt >100,000 contraindicated if less than 50,000 
					 anesthesia and thrombocytopenia | 
					  1.2cm/hr for nulliparous 1.5 cm/hr for multiparous PROTRACTION DISORDER 
					 What is the rate of cervical dilation in the active phase of labor for nullip vs multip?  What is the diagnosis if cervical change is less? | 
					  E2					 
					 PREPIDIL | 
| 
					  Engagement, descent, flexion, internal rotation, extension, external rotation, expulsion					 
					 What are the Cardinal movements? | 
					  baseline110-160 variability: moderate late/variables: absent early: present or absent 
					 define a Cat 1 tracing | 
					  therapeutic Lovenox stop >24hrs prophylactic Lovenox stop >12hrs heparin :6hrs 
					 anesthesia and anticoagulation | 
					  complete dilation to delivery of infant nullip: <3hr with epidural, <2hr multip: <2hr with epidural, <1hr without 
					 Define the 2nd stage of labor? How long should it take for nullip vs multip with and without an epidural? | 
					  Cook catheter, laminaria					 
					 Options for mechanical dilation | 
| 
					  1500					 
					 In what year was the first successful cesarean section (with mother and baby both surviving) | 
					  absent variability in the setting of recurrent lates, variables or bradycardia OR sinusoidal pattern					 
					 define a Cat 3 tracing | 
					  post-dural puncture headache - IVF, caffeine, blood pathch (inject 20-30cc of the pts own blood into the epidural space)					 
					 what is the most common pp complaint following epidural anesthesia | 
					  delivery of placenta, <30minutes cord lengthening, gush of blood, fundal rebound 
					 Define the 3rd stage of labor? Signs of cord separation? | |
