OUTLINE
• How to manage?• Antepartum management
– Prognostic factors of successful induction– Overall management recommendation
• Intrapartum management • Reference
2
HOW TO MANAGE? • The decision centers on whether:
– Labor induction, or– Expectant management with fetal surveillance
(waiting)• Routinely induce women at 41 weeks.• Fetal testing until 42 weeks performed
twice weekly.

ANTEPARTUM MANAGEMENT

(A) UNFAVOURABLE CERVIX
Bishop score < 7 in 80%•Women with no cervical dilatation have twofold increased cesarean delivery rate for dystocia.•Cervical length ≤ 3cm is predictive of successful induction.

(C) STATION OF VERTEX
• Studies done in 2004 on 484 nulliparas who underwent induction after 41 weeks.
• Cesarean delivery rate was directly related to station:– 6% at -1– 20% at -2– 43% at -3– 77% at -4

MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATION
• Not mandatory but
initiation of fetal
surveillance at 41 weeks
is reasonable.
• After completing 42 weeks,
either antenatal testing or
labor induction is
recommended.
15
• Consider 41-week pregnancies without complications.
• If there are complications e.g. :a) Hypertensionb) Decreased fetal movement, orc) Oligohydramnios
Labor should
be induced
16
WOMEN OF CERTAIN
GESTATIONAL AGE
•Labor is induced at week 42•90% are induced successfully or enter labor within 2 days of induction•If not deliver:
• 2nd induction within 3 days
• Unusual 3rd induction
• Induction vs LSCS
WOMEN OF UNCERTAIN
GESTATIONAL AGE
•Weekly nonstress fetal testing & assessment of amniotic fluid •AFI ≤ 5 cm or reports of diminished FM should undergo labor induction
17
INTRAPARTUM MANAGEMENT
18
THICK MECONIUM IN AMNIOTIC FLUID
• The viscosity probably signifies lack of fluid oligohydramnios
• Why we don’t aspirate for assessment?– May cause severe pulmonary dysfunction and
neonatal death• Hence, amnioinfusion is done during labor
– A way of diluting meconium to aspiration syndrome.
19
Amnioinfusion
20
FHR and uterine resting tone are assessed
IMPORTANCE • Successful SVD is reduced in
nulliparous woman who is in early labor with thick meconium-stained amniotic fluid.
• Hence if she is remote from delivery,
prompt LSCS is considered especially if:– Cephalo-pelvic disproportion– Hypotonic or hypertonic dysfunctional labor
