Failed instrumental induction of labour - what does this mean

Failed instrumental induction of labour occurs when the use of medical instruments such as forceps or a vacuum to assist in the delivery of a baby fails to result in a successful delivery. this can happen when the cervix is not fully dilated, the baby is too large to fit through the birth canal, or the baby is in an abnormal position.

What happens during the disease - failed instrumental induction of labour

Failed instrumental induction of labour is a condition in which the use of medical instruments to induce labour has been unsuccessful. this is often due to the cervix not being sufficiently dilated or effaced, or the fetus not being in an optimal position for delivery. other contributing factors can include uterine contractions that are too weak or too strong, or the presence of a large amount of amniotic fluid that prevents the instrument from making contact with the cervix. in some cases, the instrument may be unable to be inserted due to the size or shape of the woman's pelvis.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Physical examination of the patient
  • Ultrasound scan to assess fetal and uterine condition
  • Blood tests to check for any infection
  • CTG to monitor the fetal heart rate
  • Amniotic fluid index to check the amount of amniotic fluid
  • Uterine biopsy to check for any abnormalities
  • Fetal scalp pH testing to check the acidity of the fetal scalp
  • Maternal serum biochemistry tests to check for any abnormalities

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To successfully induce labour.
  • Administer Oxytocin to stimulate uterine contractions
  • Monitor fetal heart rate
  • Monitor for signs of fetal distress
  • Administer analgesia and/or anesthesia as required
  • Perform amniotomy to rupture the amniotic sac
  • Perform manual removal of the placenta
  • Perform manual removal of the fetus
  • Perform manual manipulation of the cervix
  • Perform manual repositioning of the fetus
  • Perform forceps-assisted delivery
  • Perform vacuum-assisted delivery
  • Perform caesarean section if necessary

Failed instrumental induction of labour - Prevention

The best way to prevent a failed instrumental induction of labour is to ensure that the patient is adequately prepared for labour and that the induction is performed by an experienced medical professional. this includes monitoring the patient's progress during the induction, using appropriate medications, and monitoring the baby's heart rate throughout the process. in addition, the patient should be encouraged to move around during the induction in order to help the cervix to dilate.
