Q

Positions of Face Presentation

Which is more common, Anterior or Posterior? why?

A

MA positions (70%) are more common than MP positions (30%)
Because face presentation is the result of extension of deflexed head in OP position (ROP extends to LMA while LOP extends to RMA).

Def of 2ry Face Presentation

A

Develops during labor (common) & occurs in cases of OP positions associated e any condition which retards descent of occiput & encourages descent of sinciput

Q

Mechanism of Labor in MA Position

Internal Rotation
Flexion

A

Chin reaches pelvic floor 1st → rotates anteriorly 1/8 circle → becomes direct mentoanterior (DMA).
Submental region impinges under symphysis pubis & head is delivered by flexion.

Q

Mechanism of Labor in MA Position

External Rotation

A

Chin rotates 1/8 circle in the same direction of restitution due to internal rotation of anterior shoulder from oblique diameter to A-P diameter.

Q

Internal Rotation in MP Position

Normal Mechanism

Study These Flashcards

A

Internal Rotation in **MP Position** - Abnormal Mechanisms

- Short Anterior Rotation - No Rotation - Posterior Rotation

Internal Rotation in **MP Position** - Short Anterior Rotation

Internal Rotation in **MP Position** - No Rotation

Internal Rotation in **MP Position** - Posterior Rotation

Internal Rotation in **MP Position** - Posterior Rotation, why can't it be delivered vaginaly like DOP?

Dx of **Face Presentation**

- During Pregnancy - During labor

Dx of **Face Presentation** - During Pregnancy

Dx of **Face Presentation** During Pregnancy - Hx

In MA positions, fetal movements are painful & felt on both sides of abdomen.

Dx of **Face Presentation** During Pregnancy - Abdominal Ex

Dx of **Face Presentation** During Pregnancy - US

To confirm diagnosis & exclude congenital anomalies.

Dx of **Face Presentation** During Labor

Managment of **Face Presentation**

- During Pregnancy - During Labor

Managment of **Face Presentation** - During Pregnancy

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Pregnancy

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor

- 1st Stage - 2nd Stage - 3rd Stage

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 1st Stage

As OP position (see before).

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 2nd Stage

- MA - MP

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 2nd Stage in MA

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 2nd Stage in MP

Wait for 2 hours + observe mother & fetus + give oxytocin drip to correct inertia (if there are no contra indications), Then: - Normal Mechanism - Abnormal Mechanisms

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 2nd Stage in MP (Long anterior Rotation)

The rest of management is as MA.

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 2nd Stage in MP (Long anterior Rotation didn't occur)

Managment of **Face Presentation** During Labor - 3rd Stage

As OP position (see before).

Complications of **Face Presentation**

MA positions are favorable than MP positions because .....

Labor is usually prolonged in face presentation due to .....

Def of **DTA**

Types of **DTA**

- DTA in OP - DTA in Face

Compare beween DTA in OP & Face

Compare beween DTA in OP & Face in terms of: - Incidence - Mechanism of occurence - Dx - Managment - Complications
