Chapter 12 Vaginal Breech Delivery
FOURTH EDITION OF THE ALARM INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM CHAPTER 12 VAGINAL BREECH DELIVERY Learning Objectives By the end of this chapter, the participant will: 1. List the selection criteria for an anticipated vaginal breech delivery. 2. Recall the appropriate steps and techniques for vaginal breech delivery. 3. Summarize the indications for and describe the procedure of external cephalic version (ECV). Definition When the buttocks or feet of the fetus enter the maternal pelvis before the head, the presentation is termed a breech presentation. Incidence Breech presentation affects 3% to 4% of all pregnant women reaching term; the earlier the gestation the higher the percentage of breech fetuses. Types of Breech Presentations Figure 1 - Frank breech Figure 2 - Complete breech Figure 3 - Footling breech In the frank breech, the legs may be extended against the trunk and the feet lying against the face. When the feet are alongside the buttocks in front of the abdomen, this is referred to as a complete breech. In the footling breech, one or both feet or knees may be prolapsed into the maternal vagina. Significance Breech presentation is associated with an increased frequency of perinatal mortality and morbidity due to prematurity, congenital anomalies (which occur in 6% of all breech presentations), and birth trauma and/or asphyxia. Vaginal Breech Delivery Chapter 12 – Page 1 FOURTH EDITION OF THE ALARM INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM External Cephalic Version External cephalic version (ECV) is a procedure in which a fetus is turned in utero by manipulation of the maternal abdomen from a non-cephalic to cephalic presentation. Diagnosis of non-vertex presentation Performing Leopold’s manoeuvres during each third trimester prenatal visit should enable the health care provider to make diagnosis in the majority of cases. -

ABSTRACT Background: Oligohydramnios is a serious complication of pregnancy that is associated with a poor perinatal outcome and complicates 1-5% of pregnancies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of antepartum transabdominal amnioinfusion on amniotic fluid volume/latency period in pregnancies with oligohydramnios. Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences Soura Srinagar. In this study, a total of 54 pregnant women with ultrasonographically diagnosed oligohydramnios i.e. AFI < 5 cm and gestational age of >24 weeks were taken for therapeutic amnioinfusion and its effects on amniotic fluid volume were studied. -

Coding for Multiple Ultrasounds by Emily H
Coding for multiple ultrasounds By Emily H. Hill, PA In the June 2004 issue [pp 90-97], I discussed the coding guidelines for reporting multiple surgical procedures. There are also instances in which multiple ultrasounds (U/S) are performed, and they can occur on the same day or in the case of obstetrical U/S, during a single pregnancy. Let's look at the case of Desdemona, who has multiple U/S procedures during her pregnancy. Desdemona, a 29-year-old G4P1-0-2-1, presents at 16 weeks to Dr. Cassio for an U/S to assess gestational age and fetal anatomy. Findings revealed fetal biometric parameters consistent with dates. There were no fetal malformations; however, the stomach was not visualized. She was scheduled for a follow-up U/S in 3 weeks. At 19 weeks, Dr. Cassio performed a follow-up U/S. The stomach was visualized and appeared normal. Later that week, Desdemona was given findings from an abnormal triple screen and referred to Dr. Othello, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist who has substantial training in advanced U/S. Dr. Othello performed a detailed fetal anatomic examination, which showed normal fetal anatomy. The patient opted against a genetic amniocentesis. The remainder of Desdemona's pregnancy was uncomplicated and she delivered a healthy 7 lb, 15 oz female at term.

The Fetal Biophysical Profile All Topics Are Updated As New Evidence
2017/4/5 The fetal biophysical profile UpToDate Official reprint from UpToDate® www.uptodate.com ©2017 UpToDate® The fetal biophysical profile Author: Frank A Manning, MD Section Editors: Charles J Lockwood, MD, MHCM, Deborah Levine, MD Deputy Editor: Vanessa A Barss, MD, FACOG All topics are updated as new evidence becomes available and our peer review process is complete. Literature review current through: Mar 2017. | This topic last updated: Dec 07, 2016. INTRODUCTION — The fetal biophysical profile (BPP) is a noninvasive, easily learned and performed procedure for evaluating the fetus for signs of compromise. Ultrasound is used to assess four discrete biophysical parameters: fetal movement, fetal tone, fetal breathing, and amniotic fluid volume. A separate nonstress test of the fetal heart rate can also be performed. Each of the four ultrasound parameters and the nonstress test are given a score of 0 or 2 points (no 1 point), depending upon whether specific criteria are met (table 1). A total score ≥8 implies absence of significant central nervous system hypoxemia/acidemia at the time of testing. A score ≤4 can be a sign of fetal compromise. Ideally, identification of a compromised fetus will enable the provider to perform interventions that prevent adverse fetal sequelae. This topic will review issues related to the BPP. An overview of antenatal fetal surveillance and information on the nonstress test and the contraction stress test are available separately. (See "Overview of antepartum fetal surveillance" and "Nonstress test and contraction stress test".) INDICATIONS — The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends antepartum fetal surveillance with tests such as the BPP for pregnancies at increased risk of antepartum fetal demise [1]. -

ABSTRACT Background: Baby’s well-being in utero is often done by using a cardiotocograph (CTG) machine, which assesses the baby’s heart beat pattern as well as the mother’s uterine contractions. However, lowered fetal movements sometimes may be fatal for the baby. Thus, the biophysical and the modified biophysical profile have been introduced. Methods: 242 patients with over 34 weeks of gestation and with one or more risk factors were included in the study. After taking the demographic details, the patients were subjected to detailed physical and clinical evaluation. Modified BPP was done on all the patients. -
Biophysical Profile
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Protocol #3 The Biophysical Profile Background The biophysical profile (BPP) is based on the concept that fetal breathing, movement and tone are mediated by neurological pathways and therefore reflect the fetal CNS status at the time of the examination. Amniotic fluid level is a measure of chronic asphyxia or placental function. The addition of the evaluation of the fetal heart rate variability (NST) to the BPP increases the sensitivity for acute status changes. The BPP represents the in-utero APGAR score and has been shown to correlate well with the acid-base status of babies delivered by cesarean section prior to the onset of labor. The earliest signs of fetal acidosis are a nonreactive NST and loss of fetal breathing. A significant inverse correlation between the BPP score and perinatal morbidity and mortality has been documented. BPP ≥ 8/10 accurately predicts normal tissue oxygenation with false negative rate <1% BPP ≤ 6/10 is a relatively accurate predictor of acidemia BPP = 0/10 has near 100% sensitivity for acidemia Administration of antenatal corticosteroids can decrease the BPP score. This effect usually resolves within 48 hours. A. Indications 1. Patients with a nonreactive NST 2. Any patient where further confirmation of fetal well-being is desired 3. The BPP should not be performed before 24 weeks B. Technique 1. The patient is placed into a supine position. 2. The fetus is observed, by ultrasound, for up to 30 minutes. During the 30 minutes, the components of the BPP are sought.
