Obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of fetal head - what does this mean

Obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of fetal head occurs when the baby's head does not rotate properly during labour, resulting in the head becoming stuck in the birth canal and preventing the baby from being delivered. this can lead to a prolonged and difficult labour, and can cause serious complications for both the baby and the mother.

What happens during the disease - obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of fetal head

Obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of the fetal head occurs when the fetal head fails to rotate to the occiput anterior position during the second stage of labour. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including an oversized fetal head, a narrow pelvis, inadequate uterine contractions, or a lack of cervical dilation. as a result, the fetal head becomes trapped in the birth canal, leading to obstructed labour and an increased risk of maternal and fetal complications.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Assessment of fetal and maternal vital signs
  • Ultrasound to assess fetal position and size
  • Fetal scalp pH testing
  • Vaginal examination to assess cervical dilation and fetal station
  • X-ray or CT scan to assess fetal position and size
  • Amniotic fluid index to assess fetal health
  • Fetal heart rate monitoring
Additions:
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess fetal position and size
  • Blood tests to assess fetal health

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality associated with obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of fetal head.
  • Administer oxytocin to induce uterine contractions.
  • Perform manual rotation of the fetal head.
  • Administer analgesics or anaesthetics to reduce pain.
  • Perform forceps-assisted delivery.
  • Perform caesarean section if necessary.
  • Administer antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.
  • Monitor vital signs of the mother and fetus.
  • Administer IV fluids to maintain hydration.
  • Monitor the progress of labour and delivery.

Obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of fetal head - Prevention

The prevention of obstructed labour due to incomplete rotation of the fetal head can be achieved through early detection and management of the risk factors associated with this condition. this includes monitoring the baby's position during the third trimester of pregnancy, providing adequate antenatal care, and providing appropriate interventions such as manual rotation or caesarean section if indicated.
