ABSTRACT

Summary Objective: Mueller-Hillis maneuver (MHM) and angle of progression (AOP) measured by transperineal ultrasound have been used to assess fetal head descent during the second stage of labor. We aimed to assess whether AOP correlates with MHM in the second stage of labor. Method: A prospective observational study including women with singleton pregnancy in the second stage of labor was performed. The AOP was measured immediately after the Mueller-Hillis maneuver. A receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was performed to determine the best discriminatory AOP cut-off for the identification of a positive MHM. A p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: One hundred and sixty-six (166) women were enrolled in the study and 81.3% (n=135) had a positive MHM. The median AOP was 143º (106º to 210º). The area under the curve for the prediction of a positive maneuver was 0.619 (p=0.040). Derived from the ROC curve, an AOP of 138.5º had the best diagnostic performance for the identification of a positive MHM (specificity of 65% and a sensitivity of 67%). Conclusion: An AOP of 138º seems to be associated with a positive MHM in the second stage of labor.


Resumo Objetivo: A manobra de Mueller-Hillis (MHM) e o ângulo de progressão da apresentação (AOP) medido através de ecografia transperineal têm sido utilizados para avaliar a descida do polo cefálico durante o segundo estágio do trabalho de parto. O objetivo do nosso trabalho foi avaliar se o AOP se correlaciona com a MHM no segundo estágio do trabalho de parto. Método: Conduzimos um estudo observacional e prospectivo. Incluímos mulheres com gravidez unifetal com feto em apresentação cefálica, no segundo estágio do trabalho de parto. O AOP foi medido imediatamente após a manobra de Mueller-Hillis. Foi construída uma curva ROC (receiver-operating characteristics) para determinar o melhor AOP para a identificação de uma manobra positiva. Um valor p inferior a 0,05 foi considerado estatisticamente significativo. Resultados: Cento e sessenta e seis mulheres (166) foram incluídas no estudo, e em 81,3% (n=135) a MHM foi positiva. A mediana do AOP foi de 143º (106º a 210º). A área abaixo da curva para a previsão de uma manobra positiva foi 0,619 (p=0,040). Derivado da curva ROC, um AOP de 138,5º teve o melhor desempenho diagnóstico para a identificação de uma MHM positiva (especificidade de 65% e sensibilidade de 67%). Conclusão: Um AOP de 138º parece estar associado com uma MHM positiva no segundo estágio de trabalho de parto.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: During the second stage of labor, the progression of the fetal expulsion depends on many factors related to maternal and fetal parameters, including the voluntary abdominal pushing. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to correlate the maternal and fetal parameters that may influence the voluntary maternal pushes during the second stage of labor by using surface electromyography. METHODS: The electromyographic activity of the rectus abdominis and external oblique muscles were measured during the second stage of labor in 24 Brazilian pregnant women. The diastasis of the rectus abdominis, the body mass index and the uterine fundal height were analyzed as maternal parameters and the fetal weight, cephalic circumference, APGAR scores and arterial pH and CO2 were analyzed as fetal parameters. The oxytocin usage and the expulsive phase duration were considered. RESULTS: A negative correlation between the rectus abdominis diastasis and the rectus abdomini muscle electromyographic parameters was found (r=-0.407 p=0.04). No statistically significant correlations were found among the rectus abdominis and external oblique muscles electromyography and the other maternal or fetal parameters, as well as among expulsive phase duration and the oxytocin usage. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the rectus abdominis diastasis may be an influential parameter in generating voluntary pushes during the second stage of labor, however it cannot be considered the only necessary parameter for a successful labor.


CONTEXTUALIZAÇÃO: Durante o segundo estágio do parto, a progressão da expulsão fetal depende de vários fatores ligados a parâmetros maternos e fetais, dentre eles, o esforço abdominal voluntário. OBJETIVOS: Correlacionar os parâmetros maternos e fetais que podem influenciar os esforços voluntários durante a fase do segundo estágio do parto por meio da eletromiografia de superfície. MÉTODOS: As atividades eletromiográficas dos músculos retoabdominal e oblíquo externo foram medidas durante o segundo estágio do parto em 24 gestantes. A diástase do músculo retoabdominal, o índice de massa corpórea e a altura de fundo de útero foram analisados como parâmetros maternos, e o peso fetal, o perímetro cefálico, os índices de Apgar e o pH e pCO2 arterial foram analisados como parâmetros fetais. O uso de ocitocina e o tempo do período expulsivo foram considerados. RESULTADOS: Encontrou-se uma correlação negativa entre a diástase umbilical e os parâmetros eletromiográficos do músculo retoabdominal (p=0,04; r=-0,407). Não se encontrou correlação significativa entre a eletromiografia dos músculos retoabdominal e oblíquo externo e os demais parâmetros maternos e fetais, bem como entre o tempo do período expulsivo e o uso da ocitocina. CONCLUSÕES: O presente estudo sugere que a diástase umbilical pode ser um parâmetro influente na geração de esforços voluntários durante o período expulsivo do parto, porém não deve ser considerada de forma isolada para o sucesso do andamento do trabalho de parto.

ABSTRACT

The pattern of cervical dilatation during labour in 100 patients with previous lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) was determined in a prospective partographic study. Eighty-four subjects delivered successfully by vaginal route. The mean initial dilatation rate (IDR) and average dilatation rate (ADR) were 0.884 cm/hour and 1.255 cm/hour respectively. The mean IDR and ADR of the patients who delivered vaginally were 0.96 cm/hour and 1.41 cm/hour respectively, while of those who required repeat LSCS mean IDR was 0.44 cm/hour and mean ADR was 0.42 cm/hour. Hence ADR in cases who required repeat LSCS was significantly slower as compared to those who delivered vaginally (p < 0.01). Most (87.5%) of the cases who required repeat LSCS crossed the alert line as compared to 34.5% of patients who delivered vaginally. The mean admission delivery interval (ADI) was 9.45 +/- 4.29 hours in patients with no previous vaginal delivery and 8.02 +/- 4.83 hours in patients with previous vaginal delivery. The mean durations of 1st and 2nd stages of labour were 11.8 +/- 5.35 hours and 29.4 +/- 27.3 minutes respectively. It is concluded that partographic evaluation is an important aspect in management of labour of such patients.

ABSTRACT

The phenomenon of foetal head descent and the effect of station of foetal head at admission on the course of labour were studied on the basis of a prospective partographic study in 100 cases of normal labour. Only 16.9% of nulliparous women had engaged foetal head at admission in labour. Engagement of foetal head occurred during the period of maximum slope of cervical dilatation in nulliparous women and at the onset of deceleration phase in multiparous women. Parturients with unengaged foetal head entered hospital much earlier in labour than those with engaged foetal based. Course of labour was uninfluenced by the degree of engagement of foetal head. However, multiparous women showed faster rate of foetal head descent than nulliparous women (p < 0.001) and women with lesser haemoglobin concentration demonstrated slower rate of descent of foetal head (p < 0.01).

ABSTRACT

Durante los años 1991 y 1992, en el "Hospital María Auxiliadora" se escogió 1500 parturientas, de las cuales 587 fueron nuliparas y 913 multiparas. A todas se les aplicó los siguientes criterios: cronologia del embarazo entre 37 y 41 semanas, ausencia de patología, parto de inicio y evolución espontanea, no medicación durante el parto, pelvis normal, presentación cefálica y recien nacido de 2500 a 4000 gramos con score de Apgar mayor de 6 al nacer. Despues de aplicar estos criterios, reunimos finalmente 317 nuliparas (209 con membranas integras y 108 con membranas rotas) y 306 multiparas (231 con membranas integras y 75 con membranas rotas). Todas las pacientes estuvieron en decubito durante el trabajo de parto y fueron controladas en el centro obstetrico utilizando el partograma diseñado por el CLAP y cuidando de hacer los registros gráficos a partir de los 4 a 5 cms de dilatación cervical en adelante. Los datos de dilatación del cuello uterino en relación al tiempo fueron procesados en computadoras y se calculo el percentil 10, o sea el tiempo máximo aceptable que demora la dilatación cervical de centimetro a centimetro hasta el periodo expulsivo, y con ellos se construyo las curvas de alerta para cada uno de los cuatros subgrupos. La pendiente seguida en el proceso de dilatación del cuello uterino es la misma en nuestras parturientas que las reportadas por el CLAP, pero los tiempos estan recostados un poco hacia la derecha, particularmente en el subgrupo de nuliparas con membranas integras
