Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing
Female reproductive system anatomy and physiology
external genitalia
Mons pubis: the raised fat in front of the pubic symphysis
Labia majora: The subcutaneous tissue of the labia majora is loose connective tissue and fatty tissue, containing rich blood vessels, lymph and nerves. When local injuries occur, bleeding and hematoma may easily occur.
labia minora
clitoris
Vaginal vestibule: Bartholin's gland: also known as Bartholin's gland, located at the back of the labia majora, the size of a soybean. Secretes mucus under sexual stimulation to lubricate. If the glandular duct orifice is blocked, a cyst will form; if it is infected, an abscess will form.
internal genitalia
Vagina: the organ of sexual intercourse, the channel through which menstrual blood is discharged and the fetus is delivered.
Shape: A pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. The length of the front wall is 7-9cm and the length of the back wall is 10-12cm. The vaginal vault is divided into four parts, and the midterm posterior vault (diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy) is clinically punctured and drained.
Uterus
uterine ligaments
Broad ligament: maintains the central position of the uterus in the pelvic cavity.
Round ligament: maintains the anteverted position of the uterus.
Cardinal ligament: prevents uterine prolapse and fixes the normal position of the cervix.
Uterine fundal ligament: indirectly keeps the uterus in the forward position.
Shape: The uterus weighs 50-70g, is 7-8cm long, 4-5cm wide, and 2-3cm thick; the capacity is about 5ml. The ratio of uterine body to cervix varies with age and ovarian function, ranging from 1:2 before puberty to 2:1 during childbearing and 1:1 after menopause.
uterine appendage
oviduct
interstitium
Isthmus (ligation site)
Ampulla (the site where the fertilized egg binds)
umbrella part
Ovary: No peritoneum on the surface
Pelvis: Consists of two hip bones, a sacrum and a coccyx.
Pelvic entrance plane: Anteroposterior diameter is 11cm
Mid-pelvic plane: the smallest plane of the pelvis, with a transverse diameter of 10cm
Exit plane: Exit cross diameter 9cm
Ovarian function and its cyclic changes
Ovulation: Generally about 14 days before the next menstrual period.
A normal menstrual cycle is 28 days, for example. Days 5-14 are the proliferative period, and days 15-28 are the secretion period.
Menstrual period: The duration of each menstrual period is the menstrual period, which is generally 3-7 days. The amount of menstrual flow is generally 30-50ml. If it is more than 80ml, it is anemia. Normal menstrual blood: dark red, odorless, non-coagulated, with occasional blood clots.
The role of ovarian hormones
Estrogen (E)
Endometrium: proliferative phase
Breast: mammary duct hyperplasia
Uterine contractility: enhanced
Cervical mucus: increased, thin, stringy, fern leaf-like crystals.
Vaginal epithelium: hyperplasia/keratosis
Fallopian tube peristalsis: enhanced
Water and sodium metabolism: water and sodium retention
Feedback function: positive/negative feedback
basal body temperature
Progesterone (P)
Endometrium: secretory phase
Breast: Breast alveolar hyperplasia
Uterine contractility: decreased
Cervical mucus: less, thick, stringy, oval-shaped
Vaginal epithelium: accelerated shedding
Fallopian tube peristalsis: inhibited
Water and sodium metabolism: water and sodium excretion
Feedback: negative feedback
Basal body temperature: rises by 0.3~0.5℃
Health history collection and health assessment
Marital and childbearing history: Childbirth status includes full-term birth, premature birth, miscarriage, and existing children. It can be abbreviated as: Zu-zao-liu-cun. Such as 1-0-1-1.
Gynecological examination: take lithotomy position, no examination during menstrual period, male doctor cannot examine alone.
Bimanual diagnosis: generally using the index finger and middle finger, commonly used by women of childbearing age.
Triad diagnosis: insert the index finger of one hand into the vagina and the middle finger into the rectum. Suitable for examination of reproductive organ tumors, endometriosis, etc.
Care for women during pregnancy
Pregnancy Physiology: It is the process of development and growth of the embryo and fetus in the mother's body. Pregnancy begins with the fertilization of a mature egg and ends with the expulsion of the fetus and appendages from the mother's body.
Fertilization and fertilized egg implantation: The process of late blastocyst implantation into the endometrium is called fertilized egg implantation.
Formation and function of fetal appendages
Placenta: composed of amniotic membrane, chorion foliaceus and decidua basalis.
placental function
Gas exchange: Oxygen is the most important substance to maintain fetal life. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the mother and fetus through simple diffusion, replacing the fetal respiratory system function.
Nutrient supply: Replaces the fetal digestive system function. Glucose is the main energy source for fetal metabolism. Glucose in the fetus comes from the mother and passes through the placenta through facilitated diffusion.
Excrete fetal metabolites: replace the fetal urinary system function. Metabolites of the fetus enter the maternal blood through the placenta and are excreted from the mother's body.
Defense: The barrier function of the placenta is very limited. Viruses can easily invade the fetus through the placenta. Although bacteria cannot pass through the placenta, they can form lesions in the placenta and enter by destroying the villus structure to infect the embryo and fetus. Drugs harmful to the fetus can easily pass through the placenta and cause fetal malformation or even death. IgG can pass through the placenta so that the fetus can obtain antibodies to play a certain defensive role.
Synthesis: The placenta can synthesize several hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, and cytokines to maintain normal pregnancy.
Immunity: A normal pregnant mother can tolerate and does not reject the fetus. This may be related to the lack of antigenicity of early embryonic tissue, immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface and the decline of maternal immunity during pregnancy.
Fetal membranes: composed of chorion and amniotic membrane.
Umbilical cord: It develops from the body pedicle during embryonic development. The fetus and fetus are suspended in the amniotic fluid with the help of the umbilical cord.
Amniotic fluid: the fluid that fills the amniotic cavity. Amniotic fluid in early pregnancy is the dialysate from maternal serum entering the amniotic cavity through fetal membranes. In mid-term pregnancy, fetal urine becomes an important source of amniotic fluid. In late pregnancy, about 350 ml of liquid is secreted from fetal alveoli into the amniotic cavity. It reaches its peak at 38 weeks of pregnancy, reaching 1000ml. After that, the amniotic fluid gradually decreases, and the normal amniotic fluid volume in full-term pregnancy is about 800ml. Weakly alkaline. The amniotic fluid should not exceed 1000ml.
Embryos, fetal development and fetal physiological characteristics,
The human fetus within 8 weeks after fertilization is called an embryo, its development and physiological characteristics. From the 9th week of fertilization, it is called a fetus.
Fetal development: 4 weeks (embryo and pedicle) 8 weeks (embryo begins to take on a human shape, the heart is formed and pulsating) 12 weeks (some gender can be identified, limbs can move) 16 weeks (gender is determined, some pregnant women feel fetal movement) Week 20 (Fetal heartbeat can be heard with a stethoscope) Week 24 (all organs have developed) Week 28 (the content of surfactant in alveolar type 2 cells is low, susceptible to idiopathic respiratory distress, pay attention to breathing) Week 32 (people born at this gestational age can survive) Week 36 (fully developed) Week 40 mature (one plate Two forms, three natures, four movements, five sounds, six nurturing, seven shouts, eight live movements, nine complete, ten full)
Fetal length is commonly used clinically as a basis for judging the month of pregnancy. 5 months before pregnancy: fetal length in cm = (months of pregnancy) ² 5 months after pregnancy, fetal length in cm = months of pregnancy × 5
Maternal changes during pregnancy
Physiological changes
reproductive system
Uterus: It is the organ that changes the most during pregnancy and after delivery. The uterus is significantly enlarged and soft, and the uterus in early pregnancy is spherical and asymmetrical. At 12 weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is uniformly enlarged and can be palpated above the pubic symphysis. The mild dextral rotation in late pregnancy is related to the sigmoid colon occupying the left side of the pelvis. The vaginal mucosa is edematous, thickened, and has increased folds. Vulva: Local congestion, skin thickening, and pigmentation during pregnancy. Some pregnant women may have varicose veins in the vulva or lower limbs.

Vulva: Local congestion, skin thickening, and pigmentation during pregnancy. Some pregnant women may have varicose veins in the vulva or lower limbs.
breast
The nipples are enlarged, darkened, easily erected, the areola is colored, and the peripheral sebaceous glands are enlarged to form scattered small bulges called hooded nodules.
blood system
The increase in plasma is greater than the increase in red blood cells. Plasma increases by 1000ml and red blood cells increase by 450ml, which dilutes the blood and causes physiological anemia. There was a slight increase in white blood cells and an increase in neutrophils. Thrombocytopenia. The coagulation factors increase, causing the blood to be in a hypercoagulable state. Thrombosis forms rapidly in the blood vessels on the surface of the placenta after delivery, which is beneficial to preventing postpartum hemorrhage.
circulatory system
Cardiac output reaches its peak between 32 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. If a pregnant woman has heart disease, special attention should be paid to closely observing the condition during the 32-34 weeks of pregnancy, delivery and the first 3 days of the puerperium to prevent heart failure. If a pregnant woman lies in the supine position for a long time, the uterus compresses the inferior vena cava, which can cause a decrease in blood return to the heart, a decrease in cardiac output, and a drop in blood pressure, which is called supine hypotension syndrome.
urinary system
Frequent urination occurs in early and late pregnancy. The right ureter is compressed by the right-handed uterus, and pregnant women are prone to pyelonephritis, which is more common on the right side. It can be prevented by lying on the left side.
respiratory system
Pregnant women experience hyperventilation.
digestive system
In the early stages of pregnancy (about 6 weeks after menopause), about half of women experience varying degrees of nausea or vomiting, which is more severe in the morning and is called early pregnancy reaction. Usually disappears on its own around 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Department of Endocrinology
If postpartum hemorrhagic shock occurs, it can cause ischemia and necrosis of the pituitary gland, leading to Sheehan syndrome.
skin
Butterfly-shaped brown spots on cheeks. Stretch marks appear.
Metabolism
Weight: There is no significant change before 12 weeks of pregnancy. After that, the weight increases by an average of 350g per week. By the time the pregnancy is full term, the weight increases by an average of 12.5g.
Sugar: The characteristics and changes of sugar metabolism during pregnancy can lead to the occurrence of gestational diabetes.
Pregnancy diagnosis (The 13th week of pregnancy and before is called early pregnancy. The 14th to 27th weeks are called second trimester pregnancy. The 28th week and after are called late pregnancy.
early pregnancy diagnosis
health history
Menopause: Once menstruation is more than 10 days past due, pregnancy should be considered first. Menopause is the earliest and most important symptom of pregnancy.
Early pregnancy reaction: It occurs around 6 weeks after menopause and usually disappears naturally around 12 weeks into pregnancy.
Frequent urination
Physical signs and examination
skin
Breast: Montessori nodules visible
Gynecological examination: The uterus gradually enlarges and becomes soft with the menopausal month. The isthmus of the uterus is extremely soft, and the uterine body and the cervix seem to be disconnected, which is called the black plus sign.
Auxiliary inspection
Pregnancy test:hCG
Ultrasound: It is the gold standard for detecting intrauterine pregnancy.
Second and third trimester pregnancy diagnosis
Physical signs and examination
Uterine enlargement: uterine fundus height and uterine length at different weeks of gestation (2-3 fingers above the pubic symphysis at the end of 12 weeks, between the umbilicus and pubis at the end of 16 weeks, one finger below the umbilicus at the end of 20 weeks, one finger above the umbilicus at the end of 24 weeks). Three fingers above the umbilicus at the end of 28th week, between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process at the end of 32nd week, two fingers below the xiphoid process at the end of 36th week, or slightly between the umbilicus and the xiphoid process at the end of 40th week)
Fetal movement: Pregnant women begin to feel fetal movement at 18-20 weeks of gestation, and multiparous women begin to feel fetal movement earlier than primiparous women. Fetal movements are more active at night and in the afternoon, and disappear during the fetal sleep cycle (lasting 20-40 minutes). After 28 weeks of pregnancy, the number of fetal movements is greater than or equal to 10 times every two hours.
Fetal heartbeat: normal 110-160 beats per minute.
Fetal body: At 24 weeks of pregnancy, the four-part palpation method can be used to distinguish the fetal head, fetal buttocks, fetal back and fetal limbs, and initially determine the fetal pattern, fetal presentation and fetal position.
Fetal pattern, fetal presentation, fetal position
Fetal position: The relationship between the longitudinal axis of the fetus' body and the longitudinal axis of the mother's body is called the fetal position. Divided into vertical production type and horizontal production type.
Fetal presentation: The part of the fetus that first enters the pelvic inlet is called fetal presentation. Vertical delivery has a cranial and breech presentation, transverse delivery has a shoulder presentation.
Fetal position: The relationship between the fetal presenting part indicator point and the maternal pelvis is called fetal position. For occipital presentation, use the occipital bone, for facial presentation, use the chin bone, for hip presentation, use the sacrum, and for shoulder presentation, use the scapula as the indicator point. Occipital presentation is the most common, and ideal. Anal diagnosis - fontanel: anterior fontanel - ◇, posterior fontanel - ▽

pregnancy management
Prenatal care
Frequency of examinations: Once a week from 6 to 13 weeks of pregnancy, 14 to 19 weeks from 20 to 24 weeks, 25 to 28 weeks from 29 to 32 weeks, 33 to 36 weeks, and once a week from 37 to 41 weeks of pregnancy.
Estimation of expected date of delivery (EDC): From the first day of the last menstrual period, the month is subtracted by 3 or added by 9, and the date is added by 7
Obstetric check-up
Palpation: Four-part palpation method: When doing the first three steps of inspection, the examiner faces the head of the pregnant woman, and when doing the fourth step of inspection, the examiner faces the toes of the pregnant woman.
Auscultation: The clearest place to auscultate fetal heart sounds is on the upper side of the pregnant woman's abdominal wall near the back of the fetus. In occipital presentation, the fetal heart sound is to the right or left below the umbilicus; in breech presentation, the fetal heart sound is to the right or left above the umbilicus; When the shoulder is presented, the fetal heart sound is clearest below the umbilicus.
Pelvis measurement
External pelvic measurement
Interiliac spine diameter: the distance between the outer edges of the two anterior superior iliac spines. The normal value is 23-26cm.
Interiliac crest diameter: the widest distance between the outer edges of the iliac crests on both sides. The normal value is 25-28cm.
Sacro-pubic outer diameter: The pregnant woman lies on her left side, with her right leg straight and her left leg flexed. Measure the depression under the spinous process of the fifth lumbar vertebra (equivalent to the upper corner of the Michaelis rhombus fossa in the lumbosacral region). The distance to the midpoint of the upper edge of the pubic symphysis, normal value is 18-20cm
Intertubercular diameter of the ischium: also known as the transverse diameter of the outlet. The normal distance between the medial edges of the ischial tuberosities on both sides is 8.5-9.5cm.
Intrapelvic measurement
Diagonal diameter: the distance from the lower edge of the pubic symphysis to the midpoint of the upper edge of the sacrococcygeal promontory. The normal value is 12.5-13cm. This value minus 1.5-2.0cm is the true combination. The diameter value represents the length of the anterior and posterior diameter of the pelvic inlet.
Sciatic notch width: is the distance between the ischial spine and the lower part of the sacrum, that is, the width of the sacrospinous ligament. If it can accommodate three fingers, it is a normal distance (5.5-6cm), otherwise it is a narrow pelvis.
Nutrition and medication guidance during pregnancy
Do not increase extra energy and protein in the first trimester, and start increasing protein in the second trimester. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy. Excessive fat intake can easily cause pregnancy complications. Vitamins are essential substances for fetal growth and development. Lack of inorganic salts and trace elements in early pregnancy can easily cause fetal malformations and poor development.
Self-monitoring of maternal weight and fetal movement
I started to feel fetal movement around 20 weeks. Count fetal movements at the same time every day, count 10 fetal movements each time and record the time spent. If it takes more than two hours, it is recommended to see a doctor. Pregnant women may feel that the fetal movements are slightly reduced. If the fetal movements are less than ten in two hours, they can change their position, such as lying on the left side, and count for another two hours. If the fetal movements are still less than ten, they should seek medical treatment in time.
preparation for childbirth
Recognize signs of labor: irregular uterine contractions, feeling of fetal descent, redness
Care for women during childbirth (childbirth: refers to the entire process of pregnancy reaching and exceeding 28 weeks (196 days), from the beginning of labor to the delivery of the fetus and appendages from the mother's body.) (A birth between 28 and 36 weeks of gestation (196-258 days) is called a premature birth; a birth between 37 and 41 weeks of gestation (259-293 days) is called a term birth; Those who give birth during pregnancy reaching or exceeding 42 weeks (more than or equal to 294 days) are called post-term births)
Factors affecting childbirth
Productivity: Productivity includes uterine contractility, abdominal wall muscle and diaphragm contractility, and levator ani muscle contraction.
Uterine contractility; the main force after labor, throughout the entire process of delivery.
Characteristics of uterine contractions include
Rhythmity: It is an important sign of labor. When labor begins, contractions last 30-40 seconds and have an intermission period of 5-6 minutes. As labor progresses The duration of uterine contractions is prolonged and the intermission period is shortened. When the cervix is fully dilated, uterine contractions last for 6 seconds The interval is only 1-2 minutes.
Symmetry and polarity: Normal uterine contractions originate from the corners of the uterus on both sides and quickly converge to the midline of the uterine fundus in a microwave-like manner, symmetrical from left to right. Uterine contractions are strongest and most sustained at the bottom of the uterus, and gradually weaken downward. The contraction force at the bottom of the uterus is almost twice as strong as that of the lower uterus. This is the polarity of uterine contractions.
Contraction function: The contraction characteristics of the smooth muscle at the bottom of the uterus are different from those in other parts of the human body. Each uterine contraction The muscle fibers in the body of the uterus shorten and become thicker. Although the muscle fibers relax during the intermittent period, they cannot return to their original length. After repeated contractions, the muscle fibers become shorter and shorter.
B
bony birth canal
Pelvic entrance plane:
Anteroposterior diameter of the entrance: the distance from the midpoint of the upper edge of the pubic symphysis to the middle of the upper edge of the sacral promontory. The normal value is 11cm.
Entrance transverse diameter: the maximum distance between the left and right iliopectineal margins, the normal value is 13cm.
Entrance oblique diameter: the distance from the sacroiliac joint on one side to the iliopectineal protuberance on the opposite side, the normal value is 12.75cm.
The midpelvic plane is the smallest plane of the pelvis.
Mid-pelvic anteroposterior diameter: the distance from the midpoint of the lower edge of the pubic symphysis through the midpoint of the line connecting the ischial spines on both sides to the lower end of the sacrum, normal value is 11.5cm
Mid-pelvic transverse diameter: also known as ischial interspinous diameter. The normal distance between the two ischial spines is 10cm.
pelvic outlet plane
Anteroposterior diameter of outlet: the distance from the lower edge of the pubic symphysis to the sacrococcygeal joint, the normal value is 11.5cm
Exit transverse diameter: the distance between the medial edges of the two ischial tuberosities, also known as the ischial tuberosity diameter. The normal value is 9cm.
Posterior sagittal diameter of exit: the distance from the sacrococcygeal joint to the midpoint of the interischial tuberosity diameter. The normal value is 8.5cm.
Pelvic axis and pelvic tilt
The imaginary curve connecting the center points of each plane of the pelvis is called the pelvic axis. Anterior pelvic tilt is generally 90⁰.
soft birth canal
formation of lower uterine segment
Formation of the lower uterine segment: When not pregnant, the small uterus is about 1cm long. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, it gradually stretches to become part of the uterine cavity. As the pregnancy progresses, it gradually elongates and forms the lower uterine segment by the end of pregnancy. The regular uterine contractions after labor are that the lower uterine segment is further stretched to 7~10cm. Due to the repeated action of the uterine fundus muscle fibers, the upper uterine segment muscle wall becomes thicker and thicker, and the lower uterine segment muscle wall becomes thinner and thinner due to passive traction. An annular bulge is formed at the junction of the fractures, which is called physiological constriction. Pathological recurrent loop - threatened uterine rupture.
cervical changes
After labor, the cervix undergoes the following two changes in terms of uterine contractions: the cervical canal disappears and the cervix expands. For first-time mothers, the cervical canal usually shortens and disappears first, and then the cervix expands; for multiparous women, the cervical canal shortens and disappears at the same time as the cervix expands. conduct. When the cervix is fully open (10cm), the head of a full-term pregnancy can pass through.
Changes to the vagina, pelvic floor tissues, and perineum
fetus
fetal size
Fetal head and skull: However, if the fetus is overly mature and the skull is hard, the fetal head will not easily deform, which can easily lead to dystocia.
Fetal head diameter lines: There are four main diameter lines in the fetal head.
Biparietal diameter: the distance between the two parietal protuberances, which averages 9.3cm at term and is the maximum transverse diameter of the fetal head.
Occipital-frontal diameter: the distance from the top of the nose to the occipital protuberance, which averages 11.3cm at term. The fetus is connected to this diameter.
Suboccipital bregma diameter: Also known as the small oblique diameter, the distance from the center of the bregma to the bottom of the occipital protuberance averages 9.5cm at term, and is the diameter through which the fetal head passes through the birth canal.
Occipitomental diameter: also known as the major oblique diameter, the distance from the center below the chin bone to the top of the posterior fontanel, averages 13.3cm at term.
fetal position
The sagittal suture and fontanel are important landmarks in determining fetal orientation. Among them, the occipital-anterior position is more conducive to completing the birth mechanism.
Nursing care for women with normal childbirth
The delivery mechanism of occiput presentation includes connection, descent, flexion, internal rotation, supine extension, reduction and external rotation, fetal shoulder and fetal delivery.
Labor: The sign of labor is regular and gradually increasing uterine contractions, lasting 30 seconds or more, with an interval of 5-6 minutes, accompanied by progressive disappearance of the cervical canal, dilation of the cervical os, and progressive descent of the fetal presenting part.
Total labor stage and labor stage: The total labor stage is the whole process of childbirth. Refers to the entire process from the onset of regular uterine contractions to the complete delivery of the fetus and placenta.
The first stage of labor: also known as the cervical dilation stage. From the beginning of labor to the full dilation of the cervix (10 cm), it is divided into a latent period and an active period. The incubation period is from regular uterine contractions to the cervix dilation up to 6cm, which is the slow stage of cervix expansion. No more than 20 hours for first-time mothers and 14 hours for multiparous women. The active phase is when the cervix is dilated from 6cm to fully open, which is the accelerated phase of cervix expansion. Some women enter the active phase when the cervix is dilated to 4-5cm. During this period, the cervix expansion rate is greater than or equal to 0.5cm per hour. .
The second stage of labor: also known as the delivery period of the fetus. From the full dilation of the cervix to the delivery of the fetus. If epidural anesthesia is not performed, it should not exceed 3 hours for first-time mothers and 2 hours for multiparous women. For those undergoing epidural anesthesia, the time limit can be extended by 1 hour.
The third stage of labor: also known as the placenta delivery stage. From the time the fetus is delivered to the delivery of the placenta and fetal membranes, it takes 5-15 minutes and should not exceed 30 minutes.
Care for women in the first stage of labor
nursing assessment
Nursing assessment: Fetal heartbeat - auscultate every hour during the latent period and every 30 minutes during the active period. Cervical dilatation is an important indicator for observation of labor. Primiparas should be checked every 4 hours during the incubation period and every 1-2 hours after entering the active phase. Rupture of fetal membranes: The amniotic fluid located in front of the occipital presentation is called anterior amniotic fluid, about 100ml. When the intra-amniotic pressure increases to a certain level, the fetal membranes naturally rupture. It can be tested with pH test paper. When pH ≥ 7, the membrane is likely to break.
Nursing diagnosis
Labor pain is associated with gradually increasing contractions. Reduced comfort is related to uterine contraction, bladder filling, rupture of fetal membranes, etc. Anxiety is related to concerns about the safety of oneself and the fetus.
Nursing measures:
1. General care and support: Provide a good environment, encourage pregnant women to actively participate in delivery, and replenish fluids and calories: (There is no dietary restriction in the first stage of labor, and you are willing to take in easily digestible food and water.) Activities and rest: (There are no restrictions on activities or positions after delivery. It is not recommended to lie on the bed for a long time. Pregnant women can be encouraged to move out of bed to facilitate the progress of labor. However, those with one of the following conditions should rest in bed: First child The membrane has been broken The second pregnancy was complicated by severe preeclampsia, the third pregnancy was abnormal bleeding, and the fourth pregnancy was complicated by heart disease. ) Urination and defecation: (Pregnant women are encouraged to urinate every 2-4 hours to prevent bladder filling from affecting uterine contractions and fetal presentation. Those with difficulty urinating should be given catheterization.) Keep it clean (: Give perineal irrigation to prevent infection.) 2 Specialist care: Promote uterine contractions: (You can change the position and stimulate the nipples. Intravenous infusion of small doses of oxytocin, pay attention to excessive uterine contractions.) Artificial rupture of membranes: (Not recommended for those who have a smooth labor process. Once the fetal membranes rupture , the fetal heart rate should be listened to immediately, the characteristics of the amniotic fluid should be observed, and the time of membrane rupture should be recorded. If the membranes rupture for more than 12 hours without delivery, antibiotics should be given as directed by the doctor. ) Labor Pain Care.
Nursing care for women in the second stage of labor: During this stage of labor, uterine contractions are the strongest, the intervals are the shortest, and breath-holding and straining begin. Management of the second stage of labor should not only consider the length of time. First-time mothers should pay close attention to the progress of labor if it exceeds 1 hour, and conduct a comprehensive assessment of maternal and fetal conditions if it exceeds 2 hours.
nursing assessment
Uterine contractions and fetal heart rate - should be monitored and recorded every 5-10 minutes, with fetal heart auscultation for 30-60 seconds between contractions. Rupture of membranes and feeling of defecation - If the fetal membranes are still not ruptured after the cervix is fully dilated, it will affect the descent of the fetal head, and artificial rupture of membranes should be performed. Fetal descent and delivery - As labor progresses, the fetal head is exposed to the vaginal opening during uterine contractions, and the exposed part continues to increase. During the interval between contractions, the fetal head retracts into the vagina, which is called fetal head exposure. When the biparietal diameter of the fetal head crosses the pelvic outlet and the fetal head no longer retracts during uterine contractions, it is called crowning of the fetal head.
Nursing diagnosis
Anxiety is related to worry about whether the fetus will be successfully delivered Lack of knowledge: Lack of knowledge on the correct use of abdominal pressure in conjunction with uterine contractions. The risk of injury is related to precipitous labor, maternal uncooperation, perineal protection and improper delivery techniques.
Nursing measures
1. General care and support: During the second stage of labor, midwives should accompany you to relieve your tension and fear. There are no dietary restrictions, and liquid and semi-liquid foods and fluids are encouraged between contractions. 2 Specialist care: Guidance on delivery positions: (Generally, there are no restrictions on delivery positions to improve comfort. Among them, the semi-recumbent position with knees bent is the most common delivery position. This position is convenient for observing the progress of labor and can fully expose the perineum during delivery. However, this position will also compress the pelvic blood vessels, affect the blood supply to the placenta, and is not conducive to the mother's use of abdominal pressure, which may lead to prolonged labor. ) Guide mothers to hold their breath and exert force: (The key to shortening the second stage of labor when using abdominal pressure correctly. It is recommended that mothers should be guided to exert force after they feel the feeling of holding their breath downwards. Within 5 to 30 minutes of full dilatation of the cervix of a primipara, if there is no voluntary breath-holding sensation, there is no need to encourage the mother to hold her breath and exert force. During each uterine contraction, first inhale and then hold your breath, then close your lips tightly and push the upper glottis downward, lasting 5 to 7 seconds, repeat 3-4 times. The mother can breathe freely between contractions and relax her whole body. ) Preparation for delivery: (When the fetal head of a primiparous woman is exposed by 3~4cm, the caliber of the uterus of a multiparous woman is fully opened, and the perineum is bulging and tense, preparations for delivery should be made.) Delivery: Assess whether episiotomy is needed (routine episiotomy is not recommended. Perineal tearing is unavoidable or the mother and fetus are sick and it is urgent to end the delivery. Episiotomy is performed and the incision is made when the fetal head is crowned. Reduce bleeding.) Protect the perineum and assist in the delivery of the fetal head: (Premature and excessive intervention in normal delivery is currently not recommended.) Treatment of the umbilical cord around the neck to assist in the delivery of the fetal body: (After the delivery of the fetal head, do not rush to deliver the fetal shoulder and wait patiently for the next time During uterine contractions, do not use external pressure on the abdomen. At this time, use your left hand to squeeze from the base of the newborn's nose down to the chin to squeeze out the mucus and amniotic fluid in the mouth and nose.
Nursing care of the third stage of labor: The third stage of labor is the period of delivery of the placenta to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
nursing assessment
Signs of placenta detachment: 1. The fundus of the uterus becomes hard and spherical. After the placenta is detached, it drops to the lower segment of the uterus. The lower segment passively expands. The uterine body is pushed upward in a long and narrow shape, and the fundus of the uterus rises above the umbilicus. 2. The stripped placenta descends to the lower segment of the uterus, and the exposed section of the umbilical cord at the vaginal opening extends on its own. 4. There is a small amount of vaginal bleeding. 4. When the ulnar side of the palm of the hand is used to gently press the lower uterine segment above the maternal pubic symphysis, the uterine body rises and the exposed umbilical cord no longer retracts. Apgar score: Based on five physical signs: heart rate, respiration, muscle tone, laryngeal reflex and skin color within one minute after birth, each item is scored from 0 to 2 points, with a full score of 10 points. If the score is 8-10, it is a normal newborn; if the score is 4-7, it is mild asphyxia, and if it is 0-3, it is severe asphyxia.
Physical signs 0 points 1 point 2 points Heart rate per minute 0 less than 100 beats greater than or equal to 100 beats Breathing 0 Shallow, slow and irregular Good, loud crying Muscle tone, relaxation, flexion of limbs, flexion of limbs, good movement Laryngeal reflex No reflex Some movements Cough Nausea Skin color: pale all over, red body, blue and purple limbs, pink all over
Nursing diagnosis
There is a risk of invalid parent-child bonding: associated with fatigue, perineal incision pain or undesirable sex of the newborn Potential complications: postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia
Nursing measures
1. Newborn care: Dry and keep warm, clear the respiratory tract, and handle the umbilical cord: (The umbilical cord can be ligated 30 to 60 seconds after the newborn is born or after the umbilical cord blood vessels stop pulsing.) Newborn examination and records: (Conduct a physical examination, wipe off the fetal fat on the soles of the newborn's feet and make footprints and thumb prints on the newborn's medical record.) 2. Assist the delivery of the placenta: (The delivery person must not massage, press down on the fundus of the uterus or pull the umbilical cord with hands when the placenta has not been completely detached, so as not to cause partial detachment of the placenta and cause bleeding or break the umbilical cord. When it is confirmed that the placenta has been completely detached, hold the fundus of the uterus with your left hand during uterine contractions and press it. At the same time, gently pull the umbilical cord with your hand to assist in the delivery of the placenta. After the placenta and fetal membranes are delivered, massage the uterus to stimulate uterine contraction and reduce bleeding. At the same time, pay attention to observe and measure the amount of bleeding. If the placenta is not completely separated and there is heavy bleeding, or the placenta has not been discharged 30 minutes after the fetus was delivered, manual placenta removal should be performed. ) 3 Check the placenta and fetal membranes 4 Check the soft birth canal 5. 2-hour postpartum care (general care: measure blood pressure and pulse after delivery.) (Assess the amount of vaginal bleeding and prevent postpartum hemorrhage: observe uterine contractions every 30 minutes. When the bleeding exceeds 300ml, it should be treated as postpartum hemorrhage.) (Promote parent-child interaction: maintain skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby for at least 90 minutes, and assist in completing the first breastfeeding.)
Care for women with anxiety and pain during childbirth
Care for women with labor pain
Nursing measures
Non-pharmacological labor analgesia: including breathing techniques, music therapy, hydrotherapy, accompanying labor, aromatherapy, hypnosis Acupoint massage, hot compress and other methods.
Medicinal labor analgesia: including epidural anesthesia and spinal anesthesia. Combined epidural anesthesia is currently the most effective method of labor analgesia with less impact on mother and baby. Commonly used drugs include bupivacaine, ropivacaine, etc.
Puerperal period management: The puerperal period refers to the period from the time of delivery to the time when all organs in the body (except the breast) return to their normal non-pregnant state, usually six weeks.
normal puerperium
Physiological and psychological changes in puerperal women
Physiological changes
changes in the reproductive system
Uterus Uterus: The uterus is the organ that changes the most. Uterine involution usually lasts for 6 weeks, and is characterized by contraction of uterine muscle fibers, regeneration of the endometrium, changes in uterine blood vessels, and recovery of the cervix and lower uterine segment. The uterine muscle fiber shrinks: 1 day after delivery, the fundus of the uterus is flat at the navel, and then decreases by 1-2cm every day; 10 days after delivery, the uterus descends into the pelvic cavity, and 6 weeks after delivery, the uterus returns to the normal size before pregnancy. Endometrium: Gradually degenerates, becomes necrotic, and falls off, forming part of the lochia that is discharged from the vagina. It takes about 6 weeks to repair the endometrium at the placental attachment site, and the rest of the uterine lining needs to be repaired about 3 weeks after delivery. Changes in uterine blood vessels: After the placenta is delivered, the placental attachment surface of the uterus shrinks to half of its original size. The amount of bleeding gradually decreases until it stops, and is eventually absorbed by the body. Changes in the lower uterine segment and restoration of the cervix: the external cervical opening of primiparous women changes from a round shape before delivery to a straight transverse cleft after delivery.
vaginal Vagina: Vaginal mucosa and surrounding tissues are edematous. After delivery, the muscle tone of the vaginal wall gradually recovers, the vaginal cavity gradually shrinks, and vaginal mucosal folds gradually appear (reappear 3 weeks after delivery). Mild vulvar edema usually subsides within 2-3 days after delivery.
basin organization Basin tissue: It is often accompanied by partial tearing of pelvic floor muscle fibers. Therefore, in order to promote the recovery of basin tissue, early and strong physical labor should be avoided during the puerperium period. Loose pelvic floor tissue can lead to vaginal wall prolapse and uterine prolapse. Therefore, postpartum rehabilitation exercises should be continued during the puerperium period to facilitate the recovery of pelvic floor muscles.
breast
When the baby sucks the nipple, the sensory signals from the nipple reach the hypothalamus through the afferent nerves, causing the adenohypophysis to release prolactin in pulses, promoting the secretion of large amounts of milk.
blood circulation
The blood in the early puerperium is in a hypercoagulable state, which is conducive to the formation of thrombus in the placental detachment wound and reduces the amount of postpartum bleeding.
digestive system
During pregnancy, gastrointestinal muscle tone and peristaltic force are weak, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid in gastric juice decreases, which gradually recovers 1-2 weeks after delivery.
urinary system
Because a large amount of fluid retained in the body during pregnancy is mainly excreted by the kidneys in the early puerperium, urine increases within 1 week after delivery. The physiological dilation of the renal pelvis and ureter that occurs during pregnancy returns to normal 2-8 weeks after delivery.
Endocrine System
Menstrual resumption and ovulation recovery time are affected by breastfeeding: non-breastfeeding women generally resume menstruation 6-10 weeks after delivery, and ovulation resumes around 10 weeks postpartum. Breastfeeding mothers have prolonged menstrual periods and resume ovulation on average 4-6 months after delivery.
abdominal wall changes
Abdominal wall tension needs to recover 6-8 weeks after delivery.
Clinical manifestations of puerperal women
vital signs
It can be slightly higher within 24 hours after delivery, generally not exceeding 38°C. 3-4 days after delivery, breast enlargement occurs due to extreme engorgement of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels in the breast, accompanied by an increase in body temperature, which is called lactation fever.
Uterine involution and lochia
Uterine involution: 1 day after delivery, it slightly rises to the level of the navel, and 10 days after delivery, it descends into the pelvic cavity. Postpartum uterine contraction pain usually occurs 1-2 days after delivery and lasts for 2-3 days and resolves on its own.
Lochia: Postpartum uterine decidua is shed, and blood, necrotic decidua tissue, etc. are discharged through the vagina called lochia. Lochia has a fishy smell but no odor, lasts for 4-6 weeks, and the total amount is 250-500ml. Normal lochia is divided into bloody lochia, nocturnal lochia and white lochia according to color, composition, appearance and duration.
Bloody lochia within 3-4 days after delivery, red, with large amounts of red blood cells, necrotic decidua and a small amount of fetal membranes Serous lochia appears 3-4 days after delivery and lasts for 10 days. It is light red and contains more necrotic decidua tissue, uterine exudate, cervical mucus, and a small amount of red blood cells, white blood cells and bacteria. White lochia appears around 14 days after delivery and lasts for 3 weeks. White contains a large number of white blood cells, necrotic decidua tissue, epidermal cells and bacteria.
Nursing care for postpartum women
Postpartum visits and care
Maternal diet, sleep and psychological guidance
Rest and food: A comfortable and quiet resting environment, and keep the sheets clean. One hour after delivery, mothers are encouraged to eat a liquid diet or a light semi-liquid diet, or a normal diet. Food should be rich in nutrients, sufficient calories and water. Breastfeeding mothers should eat more protein and soup foods, and also take appropriate vitamin and iron supplements. Iron supplements are recommended for three months.
Urination and defecation: Encourage and assist mothers to urinate 4 hours after delivery. If there is concern about pain caused by urination, help them urinate. The methods are as follows: 1. Wash the vulva with hot water or rinse the area around the external opening of the urethra with warm water to induce urination; apply hot compress to the lower abdomen and massage the bladder to stimulate bladder muscle contraction. 2. Acupuncture acupuncture points such as Guanyuan, Qihai, Sanyinjiao, and Yinlingquan to promote urination. 3. Intramuscular injection of neostigmine methyl sulfate to promote urination. 4. Catheterize and leave the urinary catheter in place for 1-2 days. Defecation; intestinal motility is weakened. Pregnant women are encouraged to drink more water, eat more vegetables, and get out of bed early to prevent constipation.
Health care exercise: Get out of bed for light activities 6-12 hours after delivery, and do casual activities indoors on the second day after delivery.
Adjust mentally
Breastfeeding guidance: Babies should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months, 6 months Gradually add complementary foods later.
Advantages of breastfeeding
For babies: ① Provide nutrition and promote development: The various nutrients contained in breast milk are most beneficial to the baby’s digestion and absorption. ② Improve immunity and prevent diseases: Breast milk contains a variety of immune active cells and rich immunoglobulins. Prevents diarrhea, respiratory and skin infections in infants. ③Protect teeth: Muscle movement during sucking can promote the normal development of facial muscles. ④ Good for mental health: Breastfeeding increases the opportunities for skin-to-skin contact between the baby and the mother, which helps the emotional connection between mother and baby.
For mothers: ① Prevent postpartum hemorrhage: Sucking stimulates the secretion of oxytocin in the body, causing uterine contraction and reducing postpartum hemorrhage. ②Contraception: Breastfeeding delays the resumption of menstruation and ovulation, which is beneficial to contraception. ③ Reduce the risk of cancer: Breastfeeding can reduce the possibility of breast cancer and ovarian tumors in nursing mothers.
Breastfeeding tips: Breastfeed on demand. Breastfeeding precautions: Each time you breastfeed, you should empty one breast and then suck on the other. After breastfeeding, pick up the baby and pat the baby's back for 1-2 minutes to expel air from the stomach to prevent vomiting.
The standard for judging whether the amount of milk secretion is sufficient: the milk can be sucked out and stored in a milk storage bag. Storage time: no more than 4 hours at 20~30℃, no more than 48 hours at 4℃, 6 months at -15~-5.
Abdominal and perineal wound care
Perineal wound: Observe the surrounding area daily for bleeding, hematoma, redness, swelling and secretions, and the mother should be in the healthy side lying position. For those with severe perineal edema, you can use 50% copper sulfate moist heat compress twice a day for 20 minutes each time or irradiate the vulva with infrared rays 24 hours after delivery. Those with perineal hematoma will cooperate with the physician for incisional treatment.
Guidance on sexual life and postpartum health check-ups
Women are prohibited from sexual intercourse within 42 days after delivery and can resume normal life based on postpartum examination results. Breastfeeding women are recommended to use contraceptive methods instead of medications. Inform the mother to go to the hospital with the baby in 42 days for a comprehensive examination.
Nursing care for common problems in the puerperium
Not enough milk: drink more nutritious broth.
Nursing care for breast swelling and pain: Apply hot and moist compresses for 3 to 5 minutes before breastfeeding, massage the breasts, and breastfeed frequently to empty the breasts.
Care for chapped nipples: Those with mild symptoms can continue breastfeeding, first on the healthy side and then on the affected side. After breastfeeding, squeeze out a small amount of milk and apply it on the nipple and areola, which can repair the epidermis. In severe cases, stop breastfeeding and use your hands or a breast opener to suck out the milk and feed it to the newborn.
Breastfeeding withdrawal: Mothers who have contraindications to breastfeeding should withdraw breast milk as soon as possible.
High-risk pregnancy management
Assessment and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies
Common risk factors for high-risk pregnancy
Basic situation: gestational age is greater than or equal to 35 years old or less than or equal to 18 years old, height is 154cm, and BMI is greater than 25 or less than 1.8.5.
Abnormal pregnancy and delivery history: birth interval less than 12 months, history of uterine delivery, infertility, history of adverse pregnancy and delivery (more than or equal to 3 miscarriages), this pregnancy was a twin pregnancy with assisted reproductive technology, etc.
Obstetrics and gynecology diseases and surgical history: reproductive tract malformations, uterine fibroids or ovarian cysts greater than or equal to 5 cm, history of vaginal and cervical conization surgery, scarred uterus, malignant uterine appendages, and various important organ diseases.
Family history: A family history of hypertension and the current blood pressure of pregnant women is greater than or equal to 140/90 mmHg. Direct relatives suffer from diabetes, lack of coagulation factors, and serious hereditary diseases.
Pregnancy complications and complications: hypertension, polycystic ovary syndrome, diabetes, kidney disease, autoimmune diseases and other diseases and risk factors.
Assessment of pregnancy risks
According to the severity, they are graded in five colors: green (low risk), yellow (general risk), orange (higher risk), red (high risk), and purple (infectious disease). Green: No pregnancy complications found. Yellow: The condition is mild and stable. Orange: There is a certain threat. Red: pregnancy risk is high. Continuing the pregnancy may endanger the mother's life. Purple: Pregnant women suffer from infectious diseases.
Pregnancy screening: 16 to 13 weeks, 14 to 19 weeks, 20 to 24 weeks, 25 to 28 weeks, 29 to 32 weeks, 33 to 36 weeks, 33 to 36 weeks, 37 to 40 weeks (once a week).
Monitoring of high-risk pregnancies
Monitoring of fetal intrauterine status: non-stress test NST to understand fetal reserve capacity. Oxytocin stimulation test: Understand the load changes of the placenta due to transient hypoxia during uterine contractions, and evaluate the intrauterine reserve capacity of the fetus. The gradual aggravation of hypoxia under the stimulation of uterine contractions will induce late reduction.
Care and management of high-risk pregnant women
Increased fetal heart rate: greater than 160 beats per minute, fetal factors include cardiac malformation or conduction abnormalities, umbilical cord prolapse or compression, placental insufficiency, etc. Pregnant factors include fever, anemia, hyperthyroidism, excessive stress and anxiety, intrauterine infection, etc. Slowing fetal heart rate: Fetal factors include umbilical cord prolapse, fetal congenital heart disease, etc. Maternal factors include excessive uterine contractions. Increased fetal movement: mild fetal hypoxia such as external force impact, placental abruption. Reduced fetal movement: Severe or prolonged fetal hypoxia, such as umbilical cord wrapping around the neck, placental abruption, and placenta previa. Vaginal bleeding: before 28 weeks of pregnancy, it can be seen in threatened abortion and inevitable miscarriage; between 28 and 37 weeks, it can be seen in premature labor and threatened premature birth; after 37 weeks, it can be seen in labor and threatened labor.
Prevention of high-risk pregnancy Make sure you get folic acid: Research shows that taking folic acid during the first and second trimester of pregnancy can reduce the risk of neurological disease by 70 percent. Pregnant women are reminded to appropriately limit their caffeine intake and prohibit smoking, drinking, and drug use.
Care for women with pregnancy complications
spontaneous abortion
If the pregnancy is terminated before 28 weeks and the fetal weight is less than 1000g, it is called miscarriage. A miscarriage that occurs before 12 weeks of gestation is called early miscarriage, and a miscarriage that occurs between 12 weeks and less than 28 weeks of gestation is called late miscarriage. Abortion is divided into natural abortion and artificial abortion.
Cause
Embryonic factors: Chromosomal abnormalities are the most common cause of spontaneous abortion.
Maternal factors: systemic diseases, immune factors, reproductive organ abnormalities (relaxation of the internal cervical os can easily cause late miscarriage due to premature rupture of membranes.) Others (incompatible blood types, frequent sexual intercourse, excessive smoking, alcoholism, and drug abuse)
Placental factors: placenta previa, placental abruption
Environmental factors: Excessive exposure to harmful chemicals and physical factors.
pathology
For miscarriages that occur within 8 weeks of pregnancy, most of the products of pregnancy can be completely separated from the uterine wall and excreted, with little bleeding. At 8 to 12 weeks of pregnancy, the placental villi are well developed and have a strong connection with the decidua basalis. If a miscarriage occurs at this time, the products of pregnancy are often not easily separated and excreted completely. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta has been completely formed. During miscarriage, there is often abdominal pain first, and then the fetus and placenta are expelled.
Clinical manifestations: Menopause, abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding are the main clinical symptoms of miscarriage.
① Threatened abortion: It is characterized by a small amount of vaginal bleeding after menopause, which is less than the menstrual flow, sometimes accompanied by slight lower abdominal pain, low back pain, and waist drop. Gynecological examination: The size of the uterus is consistent with the number of weeks after menopause, and the cervix is not dilated. After rest and treatment, if the bleeding stops or the abdominal pain disappears, the pregnancy can continue; if the bleeding increases or the abdominal pain worsens, it may develop into inevitable miscarriage.
② Inevitable miscarriage: Developed from threatened abortion, miscarriage is inevitable. The symptoms include increased vaginal bleeding and worsening abdominal pain. Gynecological examination: The size of the uterus is consistent with or slightly smaller than the number of weeks after menopause, and the cervix has been dilated.
③Incomplete abortion: It develops from unavoidable miscarriage. Part of the pregnancy products is excreted from the body, and some remains in the uterus, thus affecting the contraction of the uterus, causing vaginal bleeding to continue. In severe cases, it can cause hemorrhagic shock and reduce lower abdominal pain. Gynecological examination: Generally, the uterus is smaller than the number of weeks after menopause and the cervix has been dilated. There is constant blood flowing out of the cervix. Sometimes it can be seen that the placental tissue is blocked in the cervix or some of the products of pregnancy have been discharged from the vagina, while some are still in the uterine cavity. Sometimes the cervix has been closed.
④ Complete miscarriage: The products of pregnancy have been completely discharged, vaginal bleeding gradually stops, and abdominal pain disappears. Gynecological examination: The uterus is close to normal size or slightly smaller, and the cervical opening has been closed.
⑤ Missed abortion: Also known as expired abortion, it refers to the case where the embryo or fetus has died and remains in the uterine cavity and has not yet been discharged naturally. After the death of the embryo or fetus, the uterus no longer increases but shrinks, and the early pregnancy reaction disappears. If it has reached the second trimester, the pregnant woman will not feel the abdominal enlargement and the fetal movement will disappear. Gynecological examination: the uterus is smaller than the gestational age and the cervix is closed. The fetal heartbeat cannot be heard during auscultation.
Recurrent miscarriage: refers to three or more spontaneous miscarriages occurring in a row with the same sex partner.
Miscarriage combined with infection: may cause intrauterine infection.
nursing assessment
Key points of treatment - The principle of treatment for threatened abortion is to rest in bed and prohibit sexual life; reduce stimulation; if necessary, give sedatives that are less harmful to the fetus; for pregnant women with insufficient luteal function, intramuscular injection of 20 mg of progesterone per day as directed by the doctor to facilitate preservation. Pregnancy; and pay attention to timely ultrasound examination to understand the development of the embryo and avoid blind preservation of the fetus. Once miscarriage is inevitable, the embryo and placental tissue should be completely discharged as soon as possible to prevent bleeding and infection. The principle of treatment of incomplete abortion is that once the diagnosis is confirmed, uterine aspiration or forceps curettage should be performed to remove residual tissue in the uterine cavity. The principle of treatment for complete abortion is that if there are no signs of infection, no special treatment is generally required. The principle of treatment of missed abortion is to promptly expel the fetus and placenta to prevent the dead fetus and placental tissue from remaining in the uterine cavity for a long time and causing severe coagulation dysfunction and DIC.
Nursing measures
The risk of infection is related to factors such as prolonged vaginal bleeding and residual tissue in the uterine cavity. Anxiety is related to factors such as concerns about the health of the fetus.
Nursing measures
Care of pregnant women with threatened abortion: Pregnant women with threatened abortion need to rest in bed, and their emotional state will also affect their fetal preservation effect. Nursing care for those whose pregnancy cannot continue: Nurses should actively take measures to prepare for the termination of pregnancy in a timely manner. Prevention of infection: Nurses should check the patient's temperature, blood count and vaginal bleeding. Instruct pregnant women to use sterile perineal pads. Health education: For those with insufficient luteal corpus function, use progesterone treatment correctly according to doctor's instructions to prevent miscarriage. For example, if the cervix is loose, the lax internal cervix should be repaired before pregnancy. If pregnant, intrauterine cerclage can be performed at 12 to 16 weeks of pregnancy.
ectopic pregnancy
Among ectopic pregnancies, fallopian tube (ampullary) pregnancies are the most common. Fallopian tube pregnancy is one of the most common acute abdominal diseases in gynecology. When fallopian tube pregnancy miscarriages or ruptures, it can cause severe intra-abdominal bleeding.
Cause
Fallopian tube inflammation: This is the main cause of fallopian tube pregnancy.
Fallopian tube dysplasia or dysfunction: dysplasia such as lack of mucociliation can be the cause of fallopian tube pregnancy.
Fertilized egg swims
Assisted reproductive technology: Due to the application of assisted reproductive technology in recent years.
Others: endometriosis, insertion of intrauterine devices, etc.
pathology
Fallopian tube pregnancy miscarriage: It is more common in fallopian tube ampullary pregnancy, and the onset is usually between 8 and 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Fallopian tube pregnancy rupture: It is more common in the fallopian tube isthmus, and the onset is usually around 6 weeks of pregnancy.
Old ectopic pregnancy: Sometimes after miscarriage or rupture of fallopian tube pregnancy, if it is not treated in time or the internal bleeding has gradually stopped, the condition has been stable for too long, and the embryo dies or is absorbed. However, pelvic hematoma formed by long-term repeated internal bleeding can become organized, harden, and adhere to surrounding tissues, which is clinically called old ectopic pregnancy.
Secondary abdominal pregnancy: But occasionally there are survivors, if the chorionic tissue of the surviving embryo is still attached and in situ, it is discharged into the abdominal cavity and replanted with nutrients.
Persistent ectopic pregnancy: The pregnancy products are not completely removed during the operation or surviving trophoblast cells continue to grow.
clinical manifestations
Menopause: Most patients experience irregular vaginal bleeding 6 to 8 weeks after menopause.
Abdominal pain: It is the main symptom for patients with fallopian tube pregnancy. When the fallopian tube pregnancy is miscarried or ruptured, the patient suddenly feels tearing pain in the lower abdomen on one side. .
Vaginal bleeding: After the death of the embryo, hCG in the blood decreases, and there is often irregular vaginal bleeding, dark red or dark brown in color, small in amount and in the form of drops.
Fainting and shock
Abdominal mass: It can be formed due to blood coagulation, gradual hardening, and adhesion to surrounding organs.
nursing assessment
Diagnostic points: ① Posterior vaginal fornix puncture: It is a simple and reliable diagnostic method. Drawing out dark red blood without coagulation is positive. If the drawn blood is red and coagulates within ten minutes, it indicates that it has entered the blood vessel by mistake. ②Pregnancy test: Measure hCG in blood ③Ultrasound examination: Diagnosis of early ectopia
Key points of treatment: ① Surgical treatment: According to the situation, perform a salpingectomy on the affected side or a conservative surgery to preserve the patient's fallopian tube and its function. ②Drug treatment: Chemical drug treatment is mainly suitable for early-stage odor-prone pregnancy. Systemic medication is commonly methotrexate.
Nursing diagnosis
Risk of shock associated with bleeding Fear related to fear of surgical failure
Nursing measures
Care for patients undergoing surgical treatment: ① Actively prepare for surgery ② Provide psychological support Care for patients receiving non-surgical treatment: ① Closely observe the condition: such as increased bleeding, worsening abdominal pain, obvious anal swelling, etc. ② Strengthen care for chemical drug treatment: Chemotherapy generally uses systemic drugs, but also local drugs. ③ Instruct the patient to rest and eat: The patient should rest in bed, and instruct the patient to take in sufficient nutrients, especially foods rich in ferritin, to promote the increase of hemoglobin and enhance the patient's resistance. health education
premature birth
Premature birth refers to a birth between 28 weeks and less than 37 weeks of gestation. The birth weight is usually between 1000 and 2499g, and the various organs are not yet mature enough.
Cause
maternal factors
Fetal and placental factors: premature rupture of membranes and choriojonitis are the most common.
Labor performance
Threatened prematurity: When the pregnancy is between 28 weeks and less than 37 weeks, regular uterine contractions occur, accompanied by progressive shortening of the cervical canal, but the cervix has not yet expanded.
Premature labor: When the pregnancy is 28 weeks and less than 37 weeks, there are regular uterine contractions, accompanied by progressive changes in the cervix, the cervix is shortened by more than or equal to 80%, and the cervix is dilated. The situation is similar to that of full-term pregnancy.
Nursing diagnosis
There is a risk of suffocation related to the immaturity of premature infants. Anxiety is associated with concerns about the prognosis of premature infants.
Nursing measures
① Preventing premature birth: Pregnant women should be in good physical and mental condition and should be guided to strengthen their nutrition to avoid activities that induce uterine contractions. High-risk pregnant women must rest in bed more often, preferably on the left side. Those with loose cervical os should undergo uterine underwear cerclage at 12 to 16 weeks of pregnancy. ② Nursing care of drug therapy: Commonly used drugs that inhibit work include: albuterol, magnesium sulfate, channel blockers, and prostate synthase inhibitors. ③Prevent the occurrence of neonatal complications: Give pregnant women glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone and betamethasone as directed by the doctor before delivery, which can promote fetal lung maturity. ④Prepare for childbirth ⑤Provide psychological support to pregnant women
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are diseases specific to pregnancy, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, chronic hypertension complicated by linear preeclampsia, and arithmetic combined chronic hypertension. Among them, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia and eclampsia were collectively referred to as pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome.
Pathophysiology
The basic pathophysiological change of this disease is systemic arteriolar spasm. Due to arteriolar spasm, the lumen is narrowed, peripheral resistance is increased, endothelial cells are damaged, permeability is increased, and body fluid and protein leakage, manifesting as increased blood pressure, proteinuria, edema, hemoconcentration, etc.
clinical manifestations
Hypertension during pregnancy: Hypertension for the first time after 20 weeks of pregnancy, with systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140mmHg and diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90mmHg. It returned to normal within 12 weeks after delivery, with proteinuria (-), and the patient was accompanied by epigastric discomfort or thrombocytopenia. Diagnosis can be made after delivery.
Preeclampsia: ① Mild: Appears after 20 weeks of pregnancy, blood pressure is greater than or equal to 140/90mmHg, and urine protein is greater than or equal to 0.3g/24h ②Severe: blood pressure is greater than or equal to 160/110mmHg, urine protein is greater than or equal to 2.0g/24h
Eclampsia: The occurrence of convulsions on the basis of pre-eclampsia and subsequent semi-coma is called eclampsia. The typical attack process of eclampsia: firstly, the eyes are fixed, the pupils are dilated, the head is turned to one side, the teeth are locked, and then the corners of the mouth and facial muscles tremble. After a few seconds, the muscles of the whole body and limbs become rigid, the hands are clenched, and the arms are straightened. Strong twitching. The twitching lasts for about a minute, the intensity weakens, and then the muscles all over the body relax, and then the breathing is resumed by taking a deep breath.
Chronic hypertension complicated by preeclampsia: Pregnant women with high blood pressure have no proteinuria before 20 weeks of gestation. If urinary protein is greater than or equal to 0.3g/24h or random urinary protein after 20 weeks of gestation ( ), or urinary protein suddenly appears after 20 weeks of gestation. Increase, further increase in blood pressure or decrease in platelets.
Pregnancy complicated by chronic hypertension: blood pressure greater than or equal to 140/90mmHg before pregnancy or before 20 weeks of pregnancy, but not significantly aggravated during pregnancy, or hypertension is first diagnosed after 20 weeks of pregnancy and continues beyond 12 weeks postpartum.
health assessment
Physical condition: Typical patient symptoms include hypertension, edema, and proteinuria after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Focus on assessing the patient's urine protein, edema, subjective symptoms, convulsions, coma, etc. ① Collect 24-hour urine for urine protein examination: any 24-hour urine protein amount greater than or equal to 0.3g is abnormal.
Treatment points: The basic treatment principles are sedation, antispasmodic, antihypertensive, diuretic, and timely termination of pregnancy. Diazepam is commonly used for sedation, magnesium sulfate is the first antispasmodic drug, and captopril is commonly used as an antihypertensive drug.
Nursing measures
1 Medication and care Magnesium sulfate is currently the preferred antispasmodic drug for the treatment of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Medication method ① Intramuscular injection: 20ml of 25% magnesium sulfate and 2ml of 2% lidocaine for deep intramuscular injection. ② Intravenous administration: The intravenous loading dose is 4 to 6 g, dissolved in 20 ml of 25% glucose solution for intravenous infusion, or dissolved in 100 ml of 5% glucose (15 to 20 minutes) for rapid intravenous infusion, followed by intravenous infusion of 1 to 2 g/h of magnesium sulfate. maintain. 2 Toxic reactions: The therapeutic concentration of magnesium sulfate is similar to the poisoning concentration. Therefore, when treating magnesium sulfate, its toxic effects should be closely observed and the dosage of magnesium sulfate should be carefully controlled. It is generally recommended that the infusion rate of magnesium sulfate is 1g/h and not exceed 2g/h. The daily dosage is 25~30g. Excessive magnesium sulfate can inhibit respiratory and myocardial contractile functions and even endanger life. The first symptom of poisoning is the weakening or disappearance of the knee reflex. As the blood enzyme concentration increases, systemic hypotonia and respiratory depression may occur. In severe cases, the heartbeat may suddenly stop. 3 Precautions: Nurses should monitor the blood pressure of pregnant women before and during medication, and check the indicators at the same time. ① Knee reflex must exist ② Breathing no less than 16 times per minute ③ Urine output no less than 400ml every 24 hours or no less than 17ml every hour. 4. Detoxification: When injecting 10% calcium gluconate 10ml intravenously, it should be completed in more than three minutes. If necessary, it can be repeated once an hour until breathing, urination and nerve suppression return to normal, but no more than eight times in 24 hours.
Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy

Itchy skin is the first symptom. Jaundice: The patient's urine becomes darker and the stool becomes lighter.
Abnormalities in the fetus and its appendages.
Twin pregnancy: When there are two or more fetuses in the uterine cavity at the same time during a pregnancy, it is called a multiple pregnancy.
Classification
Dizygotic twins: A twin pregnancy in which two eggs are fertilized separately.
Monozygotic twins: A twin pregnancy in which one fertilized egg divides.
Labor performance
Women with twin pregnancies often experience severe early pregnancy reactions such as nausea and vomiting. After the second trimester, weight increases rapidly, the uterus enlarges beyond the number of weeks after menopause, and compression symptoms such as lower limb edema and varicose veins appear early and obvious. Pregnant women in the third trimester of pregnancy often have difficulty breathing and difficulty moving.
nursing assessment
Key points for diagnosis ① Ultrasound examination ② Electronic fetal heart rate monitoring
Treatment points: Twin pregnancies should be managed according to high-risk conditions, and the number and items of prenatal examinations should be increased to prevent premature birth and pregnancy complications. Pregnant women should be hospitalized in advance to wait for delivery to prevent postpartum hemorrhage.
Nursing diagnosis
Malnutrition is lower than the body's requirements and is related to insufficient nutritional intake to meet the needs of twin pregnancy. The risk of bleeding is related to postpartum uterine atony due to excessive uterine distension.
Nursing measures
① Nutritional guidance: Pregnant women should eat small, frequent meals containing foods high in protein, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Pay attention to supplementing iron, calcium, folic acid, vitamins, etc. ② Pregnancy care: Assess growth and development, strengthen observation of pregnancy complications and other abnormalities, and assist in treatment. ③Nursing during delivery: Closely observe fetal heart rate, fetal position, uterine contractions and progress of labor. If umbilical cord prolapse or premature placental contractions are found, forceps or buttock traction is used immediately to deliver the fetus quickly.
Fetal distress: refers to a syndrome in which the health and life of the fetus are endangered due to acute or chronic hypoxia in the womb.
Cause
Acute fetal hypoxia: ① placental factors ② umbilical cord factors ③ maternal factors: excessive use of anesthetics and sedatives in pregnant women inhibits breathing. Chronic fetal hypoxia: ① maternal factors ② fetal factors
Labor performance
The main manifestations are abnormal intrapartum fetal heart rate, abnormal fetal movement, amniotic fluid meconium contamination and acidosis. Chronic Tarr's distress often occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy. The main manifestations are fetal movement reduction or disappearance, abnormal electronic fetal heart monitoring, and low biophysical score. Too many gifts for Pro ultrasound students are abnormal.
nursing assessment
Physical condition: The amniotic fluid is light green, turbid yellow-green, and then thick brown, that is, the amniotic fluid is contaminated at the first, second, or third degree.
Nursing measures
Change body position: Instruct the mother to lie on her left side. Oxygen inhalation for pregnant women. Condition observation: Observe fetal movement, fetal heart rate and labor progress. Assisted treatment and care during delivery: The fetus should be delivered through vaginal delivery as soon as possible. The cervix has not been fully dilated and fetal distress is not severe and oxygen can be given.
Placental abruption: after 20 weeks of pregnancy, the placenta in its normal position is partially or completely detached from the uterine wall before the baby is delivered.
Cause
Vascular disease in pregnant women, sudden decrease in intrauterine pressure, mechanical factors and other factors.
Pathology and pathophysiology
Overt peeling: The peeling surface is small, the bleeding stops, the blood coagulates, and there are usually no clinical symptoms. Occult glass: blood cannot flow out and accumulates between the placenta and uterine wall.
clinical manifestations
Vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain may be accompanied by increased uterine tone and uterine tenderness, especially where placental detachment is the most obvious clinical manifestation.
nursing assessment
Key points of treatment: early identification, active correction of shock, timely termination of pregnancy, control of DLC and reduction of complications.
Placenta previa: After 28 weeks of pregnancy, if the placenta is attached to the lower segment of the uterus, its lower edge reaches or covers the internal cervical os and is lower than the presenting part of the fetus.
Cause
Endometrial lesions or injuries, abnormal placenta, delayed development of fertilized egg trophoblast, abnormal uterine cavity morphology, and other factors.
Classification
Complete placenta previa, partial placenta previa, marginal placenta previa, low-lying placenta.
clinical manifestations
Sudden, unprovoked, painless and recurrent vaginal bleeding in late pregnancy or during labor is a typical symptom of placenta previa.
nursing assessment
Treatment points: including suppressing uterine contractions, correcting anemia, preventing infection and timely termination of pregnancy.
Abnormal amniotic fluid volume
Polyhydramnios: The amount of amniotic fluid during pregnancy exceeds 2000 ml.
Cause
Fetal diseases, multiple pregnancy, pregnancy complications, placental and umbilical cord lesions, idiopathic oligohydramnios
clinical manifestations
Acute oligohydramnios: less common. It usually occurs between 20 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. Due to the sharp increase in amniotic fluid, pregnant women's uterus will increase significantly within a few days, their diaphragm will be elevated, they will have difficulty breathing, they will not be able to lie down, and they will even become cyanotic. Chronic polyhydramnios: more common. It usually occurs in the third trimester of pregnancy, and the amniotic fluid slowly increases within a few weeks. Most pregnant women can adapt to it, and it is often discovered during prenatal check-ups.
nursing assessment
Diagnostic points: Ultrasound examination is the most important auxiliary examination method. Treatment points: For those with polyhydramnios combined with severe fetal structural abnormalities, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible after diagnosis. Those with polyhydramnios and normal fetuses should find the cause and actively treat the primary disease.
Nursing measures
General care, condition observation, increasing comfort Cooperation with treatment: The speed of amniotic fluid release should not be too fast, about 500ml per hour, and the amount of amniotic fluid released at one time should not exceed 1500ml.
Oligohydramnios: The amount of amniotic fluid in late pregnancy is less than 300ml.
Cause
Fetal structural abnormalities, placental dysfunction, maternal factors, amniotic membrane lesions
clinical manifestations
Pregnant women feel abdominal discomfort during fetal movement, which may be accompanied by decreased fetal movement. During the examination, it was found that the uterus was high and the abdominal circumference was smaller than that of the same period of gestation. The uterus was sensitive and slight stimulation could easily trigger uterine contractions. Postpartum labor pains are severe and uterine contractions are often uncoordinated, and the cervix expands slowly, resulting in prolongation. The membrane sac was not obvious before vaginal examination, and the amniotic fluid outflow was small after artificial rupture of membranes.
nursing assessment
Diagnostic points: Ultrasound examination is the most important auxiliary examination method. Amniotic fluid volume measurement: Amniotic fluid volume can be measured when membranes are ruptured, but oligohydramnios cannot be detected early.
Treatment points: If oligohydramnios is combined with severe fatal structural abnormalities of the fetus, the pregnancy should be terminated as soon as possible. For oligohydramnios combined with normal fetuses, the cause should be actively searched for and removed, the gestational age should be extended as early as possible, and the pregnancy should be terminated in a timely manner.
Premature rupture of membranes: The fetal membranes spontaneously rupture before delivery. It is divided into term premature rupture of membranes and preterm premature rupture of membranes. The latter refers to rupture of fetal membranes that occurs between the 20th and 36th week of pregnancy.
Cause
Reproductive tract infection, increased amniotic cavity pressure, uneven stress on the anterior amniotic sac, nutritional factors, and trauma.
clinical manifestations
Pregnant women suddenly feel a lot of fluid flowing out of the vagina without abdominal pain. When abdominal pressure increases, vaginal fluid increases is a typical symptom.
nursing assessment
Treatment points: Pregnancy with premature rupture of membranes at term should be terminated promptly. Expectant treatment for preterm premature rupture of membranes includes preventing infection, promoting fetal lung maturation, inhibiting uterine contractions, and protecting the fetal nervous system.
Nursing measures
General care: Pregnant women must stay in bed and raise their buttocks to prevent umbilical cord prolapse. Reduce stimulation, observe the condition, and assist in treatment Prevent infection: If the membrane rupture time exceeds 12 hours, use prophylactic antibiotics as directed by your doctor.
Nursing care for women with pregnancy complications
Pregnancy complicated by heart disease
Common types
Structural heart disease, functional heart disease, heart disease specific to pregnancy
clinical manifestations
Symptoms: Mild cases may be asymptomatic, while severe cases may show symptoms such as lack of appetite, fatigue, palpitations, chest tightness, chest pain, dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis, edema and other symptoms. Signs: Different types of pregnancy patients with heart disease have different signs.
complication
Acute heart failure: Acute left heart failure with pulmonary edema as the main manifestation is more common. The patient presented with dyspnea, orthopnea, a sense of suffocation, and restlessness. Chronic heart failure: chronic right heart failure, upper abdominal distension, lack of appetite, nausea and vomiting, jugular venous distension, and positive edema in hepatic jugular venous return.
nursing assessment
Physical condition: Determine the status of cardiac function. Level 1: No restrictions on general physical activities. Level 2: Those with mild limitations in general physical activity, palpitations after activity, mild shortness of breath, and no symptoms at rest. Level 3: General physical activity is obviously limited, no discomfort at rest, discomfort during minor daily tasks, palpitations, and difficulty breathing. Level 4: General physical activities are severely restricted, unable to perform any physical activities, and symptoms of heart failure such as palpitations and dyspnea occur during rest.
Nursing measures
Pregnancy period: 1 Condition observation: Pay attention to whether there is early heart failure. Early heart failure manifests as chest tightness, palpitations, shortness of breath, resting water rate exceeding 110 breaths per minute, and breathing rates exceeding 20 breaths per minute after slight activity. At night, due to chest tightness, the child sits up to breathe or goes to the window to breathe fresh air, and a small amount of persistent wet crackling sound appears at the bottom of the lungs. 2 Emergency treatment of acute heart failure: ① Pregnant women should be placed in a semi-recumbent or upright position with their legs drooping to reduce venous return. ② Immediately administer high-flow oxygen. ③Open intravenous access and use cardiotonic drugs as directed by the doctor. During delivery: ① General care: Lying on the left side, avoid lying on the back. During delivery, the buttocks are raised in a semi-recumbent position, and a sandbag should be placed immediately on the abdomen for 24 hours to prevent sudden drops in abdominal pressure. Puerperium: ① Breastfeeding: New function 1 and 2 mothers can breastfeed. It is not suitable for breastfeeding if the new function is level 3 or above. ② Health guidance: Women who are not suitable for pregnancy and need sterilization surgery should have the surgery one week after delivery if their heart function is good.
Pregnancy complicated by diabetes
Common types
There are two types of pre-gestational diabetes (PGDM) and gestational diabetes (GDM).
clinical manifestations
Pregnant women with diabetes may have three symptoms during pregnancy: polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria.
nursing assessment
Physical condition: The condition of the fetus and newborn: ① Fetal macrosomia ② Fetal growth restriction ③ Fetal malformation ④ Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome ⑤ Neonatal hypoglycemia Key points for diagnosis: (1) Pre-pregnancy diabetes: ① Fasting blood glucose is greater than or equal to 7mmol/L ② 2-hour blood glucose of 75g oral glucose tolerance test is greater than or equal to 11.1mmol/L ③ Glycated hemoglobin is greater than or equal to 6.5% ④ Accompanied by typical symptoms of hyperglycemia or hyperglycemic crisis. (2) Gestational diabetes: ① 79gOGTT at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy and the first visit after 28 weeks, the blood glucose values on an empty stomach and one to two hours after taking sugar are lower than 5.1mmol/L, 10mmol/L and 8.5mmol/L respectively. A diagnosis is made if the blood sugar level at any point reaches or exceeds the above standards. ② For pregnant women with high-risk factors for hyperglycemia during pregnancy or in areas with a lack of medical resources, it is recommended to check fasting blood glucose first. Fasting blood glucose is greater than or equal to 5.1mmol/L, which can be directly diagnosed.
