43. Vaginal ExaminationAlways under supervision, usually limited to patients with epidurals dilatation & effacement fetal station

44. Normal Presentation: Leopold’s maneuver • Longitudinal lie • Cephalic presentation “vertex” • Fetal head in attitude of flexion

45. Intrapartum Triage:PRESENT THE PATIENT “19-year-old Caucasian Gravida 1 Para 0 at 39 4/7 weeks presents to L&D reporting painful contractions every 5 minutes for the past 3 hours and blood-tinged mucus from the vagina. Her baby is active and she denies any loss of fluid. Her pregnancy has been uncomplicated except she is Group B strep positive. She desires an epidural for labor.” “Maternal VS are stable,she is afebrile. Fetal heart tones are in the 120s and reactive.

46. Intrapartum Triage:PRESENT THE PATIENT “Contractions are showing on the monitor every 7 minutes . Her cervix is 4-5 centimeters dilated, 100% effaced, with the fetal vertex at -1 station and a bulging bag of water. “Assessment is 19 yo at term in labor who is GBS + and requests an epid. Fetal and maternal assessment is reassuring.” “My plan would be to admit her to L&D, continue routine monitoring, get routine labs, start an IV, start penicillin for Group B strep prophylaxis, and notify Anesthesia for placement of an epidural.”

47. Admission to L&D

48. Subjective: pain management Objective: Maternal vital signs fetal heart rate uterine contractions vaginal examination medications given Assessment: Plan: medications procedures monitoring “How do I follow a labor patient?”
