CONTRACTED PELVIS
INTRODUCTION:
DEFINITION:
- D.C.DUTTA
The size and shape of the female pelvis differ so widely due to morphological
factors such as developmental, sexual, racial and evolutionary that it is indeed
difficult to define what the features of a normal pelvis are. However, on the basis
of the shape of the inlet, the female pelvis is divided into four parent types.
COMMON CAUSES:
Rachitic flat pelvis – rickets is predominantly a disease of early child hood when
the bones remain soft and unoccified. At this time if the child lies or sits in bed,
changes occur in the soft pelvis due to weight bearing . the changes are :
Cavity : sacrum is flat and tilted backwards . there may be short angulation at the
sacro coxygeal joint.
Out let : body weight transmitted through the ischium in sitting position results
in widening of the transverse diameter of the outlet and the pubic arch .
Osteomalycic pelvis
Negles pelvis :
congenital
acquired the pelvis is obliquely contracted at all levels but more marked in
the oulet. ileopectineal line on the affected side is almost straight. Method
of delivery is by cesarean section .
Roberts pelvis :
Ala of the both sides are absent and the sacrum is fused with the
innominate bones.
Kyphotic pelvis :
The sacrum is tilted backwards in the upper part and forwards in the lower
part. It is narrow and straight . the anterio postrio diameter of the inlet is increased
but is diminished at the outlet sub pubic angle is narrow does the feature is extreme
funneling of the pelvis.
FLAT PELVIS:
In the flat pelvis, the head finds difficulty in negotiating the brim and
once it passes through the brim; there is no difficulty in the cavity or outlet. The
head negotiates the brim by the following mechanism:
The head engages with the sagital suture in the transverse diameter.
Head remains deflexed and engagement is delayed.
The anterio posterior diameter is too short; the occiput is mobilized to the
same side, to occupy the sacral bay. The bi parietal diameter is thus placed
in the sactocotyliod diameter (9.5cm) and the narrow bi temporal diameter
is placed in the narrow conjugate.
Engagement is occurs by exaggerated parietal presentation so that the
super sub parietal diameter (8.5 cm) instead of the bi parietal diameter
(9cm) passes through the pelvic brim.
Moulding may be extreme and often there is an indentation or even a
fracture of one parietal bone.
Once the head negotiates the brim, there is no difficulty in the cavity and
the outlet and normal mechanism follows.
In this type of pelvis the shape remains unaltered, but all the diameters in
the different planes—inlet, cavity and outlet—are shortened. There is
difficulty from the beginning to the end.
During the past couple of decades, there has been a gradual decline in the
incidence of severe degree of contracted pelvis. This is due to an improved
standard of living and of nutrition in particular. But of significance is the presence
of fetopelvic disproportion due either to inadequate pelvis or big baby or more
commonly a combination of the both.
Past history:
Physical examination:
Abdominal examination:
Steps:
Sacrum: the sacrum is smooth, well curved and usually inaccessible beyond lower
three pieces.
Sacrosciatic notch: the configuration of the notch denotes the capacity of the
posterior segment of the pelvis and the side walls of the lower pelvis.
Iliopectenial lines: to note for any breaking suggestive of narrow pelvis fore
pelvis.
Sacro coccygeal joint: its mobility and presence of hooked occurs, if any are
noted.
Pubic arch: normally the pubic arch is rounded and should accommodate the
palmer aspect of the two fingers.
Pubic angle: the inferior pubic rami are defined in female, the angle roughly
corresponds to the fully abducted thumb and index fingers. In narrow angle, it
roughly corresponds to the fully abducted middle and index fingers.
Anterio posterior diameter of the outlet: the distance between the inferior
margin of the symphysis pubis and the skin over the sacro coccygeal joint can be
measured with the metjod employed for diagonal conjugate.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) :is more accurate to assess the bony pelvis.
It is also helpful to assess the fetal size and maternal soft tissues which are
involved in dystocia. It has got no radiation risk, hence biologically safe. It is
expensive, requires more time and availability is limited.
INTRODUCTION:
The disparity in relation between the head and the pelvis is called cephalo
pelvic disproportion. Disproportion may be either due to an average size of the
baby with a small pelvis or due to big baby with normal size pelvis or due to
combination of both the factors.
DEFINITION:
The disparity in the relation between the head and the pelvis is called
cephalopelvic disproportion.
- D.C DUTTA
The presence and degree of cephalo pelvic disproportion at the bri can be
ascertained by the following:
Clinical:
Abdominal method:
The patient is placed in dorsal position with the thighs slightle flexed and
separated. The head is grasped by the left hand. Two fingers ( index and
middle) of the right hand are placed above symphysis pubis keeping the inner
surface of the fingers in line with the anterior surface of the symphysis pubis to
note the degree of the overlapping if, any, when the head is pushed down wards
and backwards.
Inferences:
The head can be pushed down in the pelvis without overlapping of the
parietal bone on the symphysis pubis — no disproportion.
Head can be pushed down a little but there is slight overlapping of the
parietal bone evidenced by touch on the under surface of the fingers
(overlapping by 0.5 cm or 1/4" which is the thickness of the symphysis
pubis) — moderate disproportion.
Head cannot be pushed down and instead the parietal bone overhangs the
symphysis pubis displacing the fingers — severe disproportion.
Lower bowel is emptied, preferably by enema. The patient is asked to empty the
bladder. The patient is placed in lithotomy position and the internal examination
is done taking all aseptic precautions. Two fingers of the right hand are
introduced into the vagina with the finger tips placed at the level of ischial
spines and thumb is placed over the symphysis pubis. The head is grasped by
the left hand and is pushed in a downward and backward direction into the
pelvis.
Inferences:
(1) The head can be pushed down up to the level of ischial spines and there is no
overlapping of the parietal bone over the symphysis pubis — no disproportion;
(2) The head can be pushed down a little but not up to the level of ischial
spines and there is slight overlapping of the parietal bone — slight or moderate
disproportion;
(3) The head cannot be pushed down and instead the parietal bone overhangs
the symphysis pubis displacing the thumb — severe disproportion.
(2) The fetal head can be used as a pelvimeter to elicit only the contraction in
the anteroposterior plane of the inlet but when the contraction affects the
transverse diameter of the inlet, it is of less use.
X-ray pelvimetry: Lateral X-ray view with the patient in standing position is
helpful in assessing cephalopelvic proportion in all planes of the pelvis — inlet,
midpelvic and outlet.
(1) Severe disproportion: Where obstetric conjugate is < 7.5 cm (3"). Such type is
rare to see.
(2) Borderline: Where obstetric conjugate is between 9.5 cm and 10 cm. When
both the anteroposterior diameter (< 10 cm) and the transverse diameter (< 12 cm)
of the inlet are reduced, the risk of dystocia is high than when only one diameter is
contracted.
(1) There is more chance of incarceration of the retroverted gravid uterus in flat
pelvis
(3) Malpresentations are increased three to four times and so also increased
frequency of unstable lie.
Labor: The course of events in labor is greatly modified depending upon the
degree of pelvic contraction and presentation of the fetus:
Maternal injuries: The injuries of the genital tract may occur spontaneously or
following operative delivery There is increased maternal morbidity and mortality
Fetal hazards: Fetal risks are due to trauma and asphyxia The net effect leads to
increased perinatal mortality and morbidity.
Induction of labor
Elective cesarean section at term
Trial labor
Induction 2–3 weeks prior to the EDC may be considered only in cases with minor
to moderate degrees of pelvic contraction. It is not favored nowadays. However, in
a selected multigravida with previous history of difficult vaginal delivery, this
method may be considered 2–3 weeks before the date. In any case, one should be
certain about the fetal gestational age.
TRIAL LABOR
Definition:
Aims:
Contraindications:
(3) Where facilities for cesarean section is not available round the clock.
The labor should ideally be spontaneous in onset. But in cases where the labor fails
to start even on due date, induction of labor may be done.
To monitor the maternal health . Fetal monitoring is done clinically and/or using
EFM .
If there is failure to progress due to inadequate uterine contraction, augmentation
of labor may be done by amniotomy along with oxytocin infusion. On no account
should the procedure be employed before the cervix is at least 3 cm (2 fingers)
dilated.
(d) To note the condition of the cervix including pressure of the presenting part on
the cervix.
(2) Shape of the pelvis—flat pelvis is better than android or generally contracted
pelvis
Unfavorable features:
Appearance of abnormal uterine contraction
Cervical dilatation less than 1 cm per hour in the active phase (protracted
active phase)
Descent of fetal head less than 1 cm per hour (protracted active phase)
inspite of regular uterine contractions;
Arrest of cervical dilatation and nondescent of fetal head in spite of oxytocin
therapy
Early rupture of the membranes
Formation of caput and evidence of excessive molding
Fetal distress.
How long the trial to be continued? It is indeed difficult to set an arbitrary time
limit which is applicable to all cases. One should individualize the case. So long as
the progress is satisfactory (evidenced by descent of the head and progressive
cervical dilatation) and the maternal and fetal condition remain good, trial may be
continued safely. However, if any ominous feature appears, trial is to be terminated
forthwith. Nowadays, there is a tendency to shorten the duration of trial. In spite of
adequate uterine contractions, if there is arrest of descent or dilatation of the cervix
for a reasonable period (3-4 hours) in the active phase, labor is terminated by
cesarean section.
Successful trial:
(1) Test of disproportion remains unproven when cesarean delivery is done due to
fetal distress or uterine dysfunction
(3) Increased maternal morbidity due to the effects of prolonged labor and/or
operative delivery
(4) Increased psychological morbidity when trial ends with a traumatic vaginal
delivery or in cesarean delivery.

Intra-amniotic infection.
OBSTETRICAL EMERGENCIES:
1.VASA PREVIA
This term is used when a fetal blood vessel lies over the os infront of the
presenting part. This usually occurs when fetal vessels from a velamentous
insertion of the cord cross the area of the internal os to the placenta. However, vasa
previa may also occur when there is a succenteriate placenta since the vascular
connections to the succenteriate lobe are also unprotected vessels coursing between
the chorion and amnion. With fetal descend and rupture of the membranes, the
vessels are subject to compression and rupture with resulting exsanguinations and
anoxia of the fetus.
Vasa previa occurs in less than 0.2 percent of pregnancies. While extremely
rare it should be thought of as a possibility, any time the midwife is not positive of
what she feels presenting at the cervical os.
DEFINITION:
It is an abnormality of the cord that occurs when one or more blood vessels from
the umbilical cord or placenta cross the cervix but it is not covered by Wharton’s
jelly. This condition can cause hypoxia to the baby due to pressure on the blood
vessels. It is a life threatening condition.
- D.C.DUTTA
ETIOLOGY:
These vessels may be from either
Velamentous insertion of umbilical cord
placental lobe joined to the main disk of the placenta.
Low-lying placenta
Previous delivery by C-section.
SYMPTOMS:
The baby’s blood is a darker red color due to lower oxygen levels of a fetus
Sudden onset of painless vaginal bleeding, especially in their second and
third trimesters
If very dark burgundy blood is seen when the water breaks, this may be an
indication of vasa previa
DIAGNOSIS:
Vasaprevia may sometimes be palpated on vaginal examination when the
membranes are still intact. Pulsations felt my be synchronous with the fetal
heart rate.
A speculum examination may be done to visualize the blood vessel.
It may also be visualized on ultrasound.
Fresh vaginal bleeding, which commences at the time of rupture of
membranes, may be due to ruptured vasa previa.
MANAGEMENT:
NURSING MANAGEMENT:
There are three clinical types of abnormal descend of the umbilical cord by the
side of the presenting part. All these are included under the heading cord
prolapsed.
Occult prolapsed: The cord lies alongside but not in front of the presenting
part and is not felt by the fingers on internal examination.
Cord presentation: The cord is slipped down below the presenting part and
lies in front of it in the intact bag of membranes.
Cord prolapsed: The cord lies in front of the presenting part inside the
vagina or outside the vulva following rupture of the membranes.
INCIDENCE:
Cord prolapse is about 1 in 300 deliveries. It occurs mostly in parous women
especially in higher parities.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS:
These are same for both presentation and prolapsed of the cord. Any
situation where the presenting part is neither well applied to the lower uterine
segment nor well down in the pelvis may make it possible for a loop of cord to slip
down in front of the presenting part.
Such situations include:
Malpresentations
Prematurity
Multiple pregnancy
Polyhydromnios
High head
High parity
Malpresentations:
The commonest malpresentation associated with cord prolapse is transverse
followed by breech, especially complete or footling. This relates to the ill fitting
nature of the presenting part and the proximity of the umbilicus to the buttocks. In
this situation the degree of compression will be less than with a cephlic
presentation, but there is still a danger of asphyxia. Face and brow presentations
are less common causes of cord prolapse.
Prematurity:
The size of the fetus in relation to the pelvis and the uterus allows the cord to
prolapse. Babies of very low birth weight, less than 1,500 gm are particularly
vulnerable.
Multiple pregnancy:
Malpresentation of the second twin is common in multiple pregnancy.
Polyhydramnios:
The cord is liable to be swept down in the gush of liquor if the membranes
rupture spontaneously. Controlled release of liquor with artificial rupture of
membranes is sometimes performed to prevent this.
High head:
If the membranes rupture spontaneously when the fetal head is high, a loop
of cord may pass between the uterine wall and the fetus resulting it lying in front of
the presenting part.
Multiparity:
The presenting part may not be engaged when the membranes rupture and
malpresenttion is more common.
DIAGNOSIS
Occult prolapsed:
This is difficult to diagnose. the possibility should be suspected if
there is :
1) Persistence of variable deceleration of fetal heart rate pattern detected of
fetal heart rate pattern detected on continuous fetal monitoring in an
otherwise normal delivery or
2) Persistent fetal soufflé with irregular heart sounds.
Cord presentation:
Cord prolapsed:
Maternal
When the diagnosis of cord prolapsed is made, the midwife calls for
urgent assistance.
The mother and her family must be given explanation about the
findings and the emergency measures that will be needed.
If oxytocin infusion in progress ;it should be stopped.
If the baby id alive , the aim of immediate management is to minimize
pressure on the cord until such time when the woman is prepared for
assisted delivery or is transferred to an equipped hospital . for this ,
the gloved fingers are to be introduced into the vagina to lift the
presenting part inside the vagina until definitive is instituted.
Postural treatment is given until the delivery of the delivery of the
baby , either vaginally or by cesarean section . the woman is placed in
exaggerated elevated Sims position with pillow under the hip . the
foot end of the bed may be elevated . high tendlenberg or knee chest
position , which has been traditionally mentioned , is very tiring and
distressing to the woman.
If the cord lies outside the vagina, it should be replaced into the
vagina to minimize vasospasm due to irritation and to maintain the
temperature.
If much of the cord is outside the vulva, it should be covered with
sterile wet guaze, to prevent spasm of the umbilical blood vessels due
to draughts.
Definitive management
3.SHOCK
CLASSIFICATION OF SHOCK:
Based on the basic pathophysiology of shock and its clinical correlation,
shock may be classified as follows:
HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK
The result of a reduction in intravascular volume.
Hemorrhagic shock: associated with postpartum or post abortal hemorrhage,
ectopic pregnancy , placenta previa, abruption placenta, rupture of uterus
and obstetric surgery.
Fluid loss shock: associated with excessive diarrhoea, vomiting, dieresis or
too rapid removal of amniotic fluid.
Supine hypotensive syndrome: associated with compression of inferior vena
cava by pregnant uterus.
Shock associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation: intrauterine
dead fetus syndrome and amniotic fluid embolism.
CARDIOGENIC SHOCK
Impaired ability of the heart to pump blood.
Failure of the left ventricular ejection in cardiac arrest and myocardial
infarction.
Failure of left ventricular filling associated with cardiac tamponade and
pulmonary embolism.
NEUROGENIC SHOCK
Chemical injury : A ssociated with aspiration of gastrointestinal contents
during general anesthesia, especially in caesarean section (Mendelson’s
syndrome)
Drug induced: Associated with spinal anesthesia.
1. HYPOVOLEMIC SHOCK:
The body reacts to the loss of circulating fluid in stages as follows:
INTIAL STAGE:
The reduction in fluid or blood decreases the venous return to the heart. The
ventricles of the heart are inadequately filled, causing a reduction in stroke
volume and cardiac output. As cardiac output and venous return fall, the
blood pressure is reduced. The drop in blood pressure decreases the supply
of oxygen to the tissues and cell function is affected.
COMPENSATORY STAGE:
The drop in cardiac output produces a response from the sympathetic
nervous system through the activation of receptors in the aorta an carotid
arteries. Blood is redistributed to the vital organs. Vessels in the
gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, skin and lungs constrict. The response is seen
by the skin becoming pale and cool peristalsis shows, urinary output is
reduced and exchange of gas in the lungs is impaired. The heart rate
increases in an attempt to improve cardiac output and blood pressure. Pupils
of the eyes dilate.
Adrenaline and aldosterone from adrenal glands and antidiuretic
hormone from posterior pituitary gland are secreted causing
vasoconstriction, an increased cardiac output and a decrease in urinary
output. Venous return to the heart will increase but, unless the fluid loss is
replaced, this will not be sustained.
PROGRESSIVE STAGE:
This stage leads to multisystem failure. Compensatory mechanisms begin to
fail, with vital organs lacking adequate perfusion. Volume depletion causes further
fall in blood pressure and cardiac output. The coronary arteries suffer lack of
supply. Peripheral circulation is poor, with weak or absent pulses.
ETIOLOGY:
Antenatal – Ruptured ectopic pregancy , Incomplete abortion ,Placenta previa –
Placental abruption , Uterine rupture
Post partum – Uterine atony ,Laceration to genital tract ,Chorioamnionitis –
Coagulopathy , Retained placental tissue
MANAGEMENT:
2. SEPTIC SHOCK
There is an overwhelming infection, commonly from gram-negative
organisms such as Escherichia coli, Proteus etc.
The body’s primary response to infection is alteration in the peripheral
circulation. Cells damaged by the infecting organisms release histamine and
enzymes that contribute to vasodilatation and increased permeability of the
capillaries. Mediators are also reduced that have the opposite action of
vasoconstriction. The overall response, however, is one of vasodilatation , which
reduces the systemic vascular resistance.
ETIOLOGY:
Post cesarean delivery
Prolonged rupture of membranes
Retained products of conception
rupture membrane
Intra-amniotic infusion
Water birth
Retained product of conception
Urinary tract infection
Toxic shock syndrome
Necrotizing Fasciitis
In the initial phase, there is marked flushing of the face and the skin feels
warm.
Temperature rise varies between 1010 F to 1050 F.
Tachycardia, tachypnea and rigors occur.
Hemorrhage may be present which either could be due to the events of
childbearing or because of disseminated intravascular coagulation.
As vasodilatation continues, hypotension leads to kidney damage with
reduced glomerular filtration and acute tabular necrosis and oliguria.
If the shock condition does not improve, the patient passes clinically to the
stage of “irreversible shock”. She remains cold and clammy with ashen-gray
cyanotic appearance.
Anuria, cardiac or respiratory distress and coma may supervene.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation is also a feature of septic shock.
Multisystem organ failure will result as an effect of the continued
hypotension and myocardial depression. Failure of the liver, brain and
respiratory systems follows and death results.
3.CARDIOGENIC SHOCK:
Cardiogenic shock in pregnancy is a life- threatening medical condition resulting
from an inadequate circulation of blood. Pregnancy puts progressive strain on the
heart as progresses. Preexisting cardiac disease places the parturient at particular
risk. Cardiac related death in pregnancy is the second most common cause of death
in pregnancy.
.
MANAGEMENT:
Re-establishment of circulation to the myocardium,
Minimising heart muscle damage and improving the heart’s effectiveness as
a pump.
Administer Oxygen (O2) therapy to reduces the workload of the heart by
reducing tissue demands for blood flow.
Administration of cardiac drugs such as Dopamine, dobutamine,
epinephrine, norepinephrine,
DEFINITION:
A rupture is defined as an abrupt tearing of the uterus and can be complete or
incomplete.
CLASSIFICATION OF RUPTURE
Scar Rupture and Dehiscence
In scar rupture disruption of the entire length of the scar occurs. With
classical scars, rupture occurs late in pregnancy or early labor. Bleeding is
slight unless the placenta is lying underneath. Rupture lower segment scars
occur with obstructed labor. It is accompanied by a “tearing pain”. Bleeding
may not be heavy.
Dehiscence is disruption of part of the scar and not the entire length. It tends
not to cause any bleeding and is without clinical significance.
RISK FACTORS:
A tumultuous labor resulting from oxytocin induction when not controlled
carefully .
Multiparity combined with use of oxytocin.
Obstructed labor such as with absolute.
Accidents such as falling face downwards.
Trauma due to forceps, breech extraction or internal version late in labor.
Excessive fundal pressure.
Shoulder dystocia.
MANAGEMENT:
NURSING MANAGEMENT
Continous assessment of the woman who is predisposed to develop a
rupture. In those with classical cesarean scar, the rupture is likely to occur
even before labour begins.
Monitor the progress of labor carefully in order to facilitate early
identification or abnormal symptoms.itmaternal and fetal vitals and fluid
status.
Administer oxygen saturation.
Cautions use of oxytocin in women with uterine scar.
Monitor maternal and fetal vitals and fluid status.
Support to woman and family regarding the situation.
5.AMNIOTIC FLUID EMBOLISM
This condition occurs when amniotic fluid enters the maternal circulation
through the membranes or placenta. The body responds in two phases- the initial
phase is one of vasospasm causing hypoxia, hypotension and cardiovascular
collapse. The second phase is the development of left ventricular failure, with
hemorrhage and coagulation disorder followed by pulmonary edema. Mortality and
morbidity are very high.
The presence of thromboplastin rich liquor amnii in the maternal circulation
blocks the pulmonary arteries and triggers the complex coagulation mechanism
leading to DIC. There will be severe clotting defect with profuse bleeding per
vagina or through the venepuncture sites due to consumption of coagulation
factors.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS:
CLINICAL FEATURES
Sudden onset of maternal respiratory distress: the woman becomes severely
dyspnic and cyanosed
There is maternal hypotension and uterine hypotonia.
Fetal distress in response to hypoxia caused by hypertonia.
Cardiopulmonary arrest follows quickly in minutes.
Many mothers present with convulsion immediately preceding the collapse.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
COMPLICATIONS
DIC (Disseminated intravascular coagulation)
Acute renal failure
Prolonged hypovolemic hypotension.
Perinatal mortality and morbidity are high, where amniotic fluid embolism occurs
before the birth of the baby. Maternal collapse to delivery need to be minimal if
fetal death is to be avoided.
NURSING MANAGEMENT:
Classification of inversion:
I degree: there is dimpling of the fundus which remains above the level of internal
os.
II degree: the uterus is inverted and the fundus passes through the cervix but lies
inside the vagina.
III degree: the endometrium with or without the attached the placenta is visible
outside the vulva. The uterus, cervix and the part of vagina are inverted and visible.
Causes:
Spontaneous( 40%):
this is brought about by local atony of the placental site over the fundus associated
with sharp rise of intra abdominal pressure as in coughing, sneezing or bearing
down effort. Fundal attachment of the placenta, short cord, and placenta accrete
are often associated.
Induced(60%):
This is due to mismanagement of third stage of labor
pulling the cord when the uterus is atonic specially when combined with
fundal pressure
crede’s method of placental expression while the uterus is relaxed.
Faulty technique in manual removal: pulling the partially separated
placenta, or firmly pressing on the atonic uterus by the external hand or
rapidly withdrawing the internal hand there by creating negative pressure.
Complication:
Diagnosis:
Acute lower abdominal pain with bearing down sensation
varying degrees of shock
on abdominal examination:
- dimpling and cupping of the fundal surface
- fundus cannot be palpated
- incomplete variety, a pear shaped mass protrudes outside the vulva
with the broad end and pointing down wards and looking reddish
purple in color
MANAGEMENT:
NURSING DIAGNOSIS:
SUMMARY:
Till now we have discussed about definition of contracted pelvis, causes
,diagnosis, management ,obstetrical emergencies its definition, classification,
etiology, clinical manifestation, management and nursing diagnosis in detail.
CONCLUSION:
The management of emergencies is usually the responsibility of hospital
obstetricians. As more maternity care is now given in the community, however,
midwives, general practitioners, and paramedics may be involved and must know
the outlines of management of emergencies and the possible side effects.
