Labor And Delivery Pathophysiology

scoring systems may be useful in the management of low-risk parturients continuous monitoring during labor (Koong et al., 1997). In European centers, an additional strategy for identifying high-risk parturients is the analysis of a fetal heart rate (FHR) tracing at the time of admission; if the FHR tracing is normal, they may receive less monitoring, and if the tracing is abnormal, patients receive intensive monitoring (Gourounti & Sandall, 2007). The magnitude of risk for intrapartum fetal neurologic

This paper discusses the excessive blood loss that occasionally occurs in women following labor, also referred to as postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Postpartum hemorrhage is an emergent and life-threatening situation that can occur from several different issues. If not treated appropriately postpartum hemorrhaging can lead to hypovolemic shock and possibly maternal demise. This paper will cover the pathophysiology behind the occurrence of postpartum hemorrhage, as well as the clinical manifestations and

While some may see the challenges I faced as “barriers,” I saw them as opportunities to better myself towards my goals. I was always pushing myself as hard as I could with the understanding that knowing everything was not the goal; the real goal was to always become the strongest version of myself at whatever I
