(O65.8) Obstructed labour due to other maternal pelvic abnormalities

Obstructed labour due to other maternal pelvic abnormalities occurs when the mother's pelvis is too small or misshapen for the baby to pass through the birth canal, resulting in difficulty or inability for the baby to be delivered vaginally. this can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as a large baby, a contracted pelvis, or the presence of pelvic tumors.

Obstructed labour due to other maternal pelvic abnormalities is caused by a variety of factors, including inadequate pelvic size, uterine anomalies, and malposition of the fetus. these abnormalities can lead to an inability of the fetus to pass through the birth canal, resulting in a prolonged labour. this can lead to a number of complications, including infection, uterine rupture, and fetal distress. in cases of prolonged labour, medical intervention is often necessary to avoid further complications.

• Obtain medical history and perform physical exam.
• Perform imaging studies such as ultrasound, X-ray, CT scan, or MRI.
• Evaluate the size and shape of the pelvis.
• Evaluate the size and position of the baby.
• Evaluate the presence of any pelvic abnormalities.
• Evaluate the presence of any uterine abnormalities.
• Evaluate the presence of any cervical abnormalities.
• Perform laboratory tests to assess the mother's health.
• Evaluate the presence of any other medical conditions.
• Perform a pelvic examination to check for any abnormalities.
• Perform a vaginal examination to assess the position of the baby.
• Perform a pelvic ultrasound to assess the size and shape of the pelvis.
• Perform a fetal ultrasound to assess the size and position of the baby.

Additions:

• Perform a fetal echocardiogram to assess the health of the baby.
• Perform a biophysical profile to assess the health of the baby.

Main Goal: To reduce the risk of complications and improve the outcome of the delivery.

• Perform a pelvic ultrasound to assess the size and shape of the pelvis
• Perform a CT scan to evaluate the pelvic anatomy
• Perform a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the pelvic anatomy
• Perform a laparoscopy to evaluate the pelvic anatomy
• Administer medications to relax the pelvic muscles and reduce the risk of obstructed labour
• Administer oxytocin to induce labour
• Perform a caesarean section if necessary to avoid complications
• Provide post-delivery care to the mother and baby

Obstructed labour due to other maternal pelvic abnormalities can be prevented by early identification and management of pelvic abnormalities during pregnancy, such as pelvic tilt, pelvic shape, and pelvic size. regular prenatal care is essential to ensure that any abnormalities are identified and managed before delivery. additionally, women should be aware of the risk factors associated with pelvic abnormalities, such as obesity, smoking, and diabetes, and take steps to reduce their risk.
