INTRODUCTION

Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) is a complication in


pregnancy in which there is a size imbalance between the
pelvis of the mother and the head of the fetus. The head of
the infant is proportionally very big or perhaps the pelvis
of the mother was very small for the baby to pass through
the pelvic opening easily. This can make it risky or
difficult to vaginally deliver. Physicians can immediately
move on to a C-section once an attempted vaginal delivery is
ineffective. Prolonged/obstructed labor from Cephalopelvic
Disproportion will lead to birth disorders such as hypoxic-
ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and cerebral palsy (CP) if
they are unable to do the cesarean section. Caesarean
Delivery, also known as Caesarean Section, is a major
abdominal surgery involving 2 incisions (cuts), One is an
incision through the abdominal wall (LAPAROTOMY) and the
second is an incision involving the uterus (HYSTERETOMY) to
deliver the baby (Louis, 2018).

Fetal macrosomia is a medical term for when the fetus


is overly large. It is described as over 8lbs 13 oz of
macrosomia. Macrosomia affects around 10 percent of
pregnancies and 50 percent of pregnancies with gestational
diabetes. An infant grows too large to be vaginally born.
For a variety of factors, babies may be huge, such as
physically big or obese parents (hereditary variables),
mothers with diabetes or gestational diabetes, having a male
vs. a female infant, post-term pregnancy (baby still not
born past his/her due date).

Tiny or abnormally formed pelvises are also possible
for mothers. This happens because of a previous injury or
genetic factors to the pelvis. Adolescents and women who are
shorter are much more likely to encounter such problem.
Giving birth can also cause an injury or malformation of the
pelvis. The pelvis can be deformed, have bony growths, or
have an out-of-place bone. Polyhydramnios (excess amniotic
fluid) and multiparity (previously birthed, either
vaginally) are other risk factors.

In order to predict or verify Cephalopelvic


Disproportion, obstetricians may use radiologic pelvimetry,
a type of imaging technology that determines the
measurements of the mother's pelvis. To measure the size of
the head of the fetus, ultrasounds may be used. Studies
found, however a weak link between the use of imaging
technology and the effects of labor. That is because the
bones in the head of the fetus are supposed to change form
in order for the baby to pass through the birth canal. Most
petite mothers carrying babies with large-looking heads may
still be able to do vaginal delivery successfully. In
addition, equipment for imaging may not be as reliable as
obstetricians would like. They can only guess the size of
the infant, not exactly weigh it.

Even when a mother in experienced Cephalopelvic


Disproportion in one pregnancy, it does not mean that she
will experience it again in her next pregnancies. According
to a study, about 65 percent of women was diagnosed with
Cephalopelvic Disproportion was able to give birth to
another baby vaginally. Mothers may opt to have a cesarean
section or try a vaginal delivery in this case.(reference)

CHAPTER II

CASE DISCUSSION

Overview

(topics included in chapter 2)

DEFINITION OF CASE

Cephalo-Pelvic Disproportion arises whenever the pelvic


canal cannot accommodate the fetal head, or is too narrow to
allow the fetal head to pass through for a spontaneous
delivery. This complication happens when there’s a mismatch
between the mother’s pelvis and fetus head.

Some factors that may affect this are; the mother’s diet,
An unbalanced diet can be a risk factor for pregnant women
to undergo cephalopelvic disproportion. This may be due to
the mothers consumption of food is exceeding the maximum
amount of daily required intake then the fetal growth will
be affected as well. Sedentary lifestyle can also be a risk
factor since sedentary behavior during pregnancy may lead to
unstable or increased blood pressure and thus triglyceride
process may affect the intra-uterine environment and fetal
development causing increase in fetal birth size. Maternal
obesity is another risk factor because excessive weight gain
during pregnancy is typically defined as gaining more than
1.5 pounds per week, and exceeding this rate may impact the
pregnancy and possibly cause CPD. Gestational diabetes,
macrosomia is a common accompaniment of CPD if not diagnosed
correctly, this causes macromegali to the fetus. Other
factors include age, fetal position, increased fetal weight,
polyhydramnios or abnormal increase in the volume of

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY

Figure No.__: ___________


Women have the responsibility of bringing forth life
into the world, hence the creation and the function of the
female reproductive system. This system performs a miracle
from the conception of life until the birth of the growing
life within. We all know that reproductive system in females
is responsible for producing gametes (called eggs or ova),
certain sex hormones, and maintaining fertilized eggs as
they develop into a mature fetus and become ready for
delivery. So I will provide analysis and brief knowledge
about the anatomy and physiology of this system.

Ovaries - these are the female gonads which are about 2-3 cm
in length. It is attached to the uterus via the ovarian
ligament, the ovaries produces oocytes.

Uterus - it is the largest female reproductive organ, it

developing fetus, produces vaginal and uterine secretions,


and passess the anatomically male sperm through the
fallopian tubes and the ovaries.

egg cells to travel from the ovaries to uterus

Cervix - opening of the uterus

The External Structure comprises of:

Labia Majora - or literally translates to large lips, this


encloses and protects the other external reproductive organs

Labia Minora - or small lips, lie just inside the labia


majora and it surrounds the opening of the vagina.

Bartholin’s glands - which are located beside the vaginal


opening and produces mucous secretion

Clitoris - this is a small, sensitive protrusion that is


comparable to the male penis. Like a penis, the clitoris is
very sensitive to stimulation and can become erect.

Table #__: ______

 Prolonged labor

Friedman describes prolonged labor or arrested


labor as less than 1.2 cm/hour of cervical dilation for
the first pregnancy of a woman and less than 1.5
cm/hour for a woman who has already given birth. It is
due to the fetus's difficulty in falling to the pelvic
region.

 Dehydration and exhaustion of the mother

There will be an inadequate amount of fluid and


energy for the patient due to prolonged work. This is a
consequence of insufficient labor development due to
inadequate uterine intervention in the first stage and
poor maternal effort during the second stage of labor.

 Pain around the back, sides, and thighs

The discomfort that can be perceived as intense


cramping in the belly, groin and back, as well as an
achy feeling, is due to the pain caused by contractions
of the uterus muscles and pressure on the cervix during
childbirth. Some women often feel discomfort in their
thighs or arms.

 Increased heart rate of the mother

Rising sedentary behavior prevalence and absence
of aerobic fitness can decrease reserve heart rate
during labor. Therefore, the lack of aerobic fitness
during childbirth will restrict pushing efforts and
represents increased cardiovascular strain and risk.

 Shoulder Dystocia

When the head of the fetus has been successfully


delivered, Shoulder Dystocia can occur but get trapped
because the fetus' shoulder cannot move through. It may
be due to being trapped in the pelvis of the mother
because it is too small for the size of the fetus or
because the fetus is too large to move through.

CAUSES
Possible causes of cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD)
include:

 Large baby due to:

 Hereditary factors

 Diabetes mellitus

 Post maturity (still pregnant after the due date


has passed)

 Multiparity (not the first pregnancy)

 Abnormal fetal positions

 Small pelvis

 Abnormally shaped pelvis

 (reference)

TREATMENTS

Treatment for CPD varies based on severity and when it


is diagnosed. If it is severe and diagnosed early, a planned
C-section is indicated. In other cases, CPD may be treated
with a symphysiotomy (the surgical division of pubic
cartilage) or an emergency C-section after a trial of labor.
When CPD is present, continued attempts to deliver the baby
vaginally can cause undue trauma and permanent injury to the
baby. (reference)

PREVENTION

According to an article wrote by Donna Murray, RN, BSN that


is medically reviewed by Anita Sadaty, MD, It is difficult
to prevent since cephalopelvic disproportion is not usually
diagnosed until there is a problem during labor. However,
during your pregnancy, your doctor will examine you and
monitor your infant.

maximum amount of daily required intake then the fetal
growth will be affected as well.

 Sedentary Lifestyle

Sedentary behavior during pregnancy may lead to


unstable or increased blood pressure and thus triglyceride
process may affect the intra-uterine environment and fetal
development causing increase in fetal birth size. Also,
sedentary behaviors during pregnancy have been associated
with increased risk for gestational diabetes mellitus.

 Maternal Obesity

Obesity during pregnancy or also known as maternal


obesity is defined as a body mass index of greater than 30.
Excessive weight gain during pregnancy is typically defined
as gaining more than 1.5 pounds per week, and exceeding this
rate may impact the pregnancy and possibly cause CPD.

 Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes mellitus, macrosomia is a common


accompaniment of CPD if not diagnosed correctly. Specially
in women with uncontrolled glycemia. Low insulin to possibly
non-insulin mother would cause the excessive glucose to pass
by filtration or insulin binding properties to lower glucose
level and enter the fetus causing macromegali, since unused
glucose would be stored in the body.

Predisposing Factors:

The maternal age of the woman refers to how old the woman
is when she gives birth. According to Lisonkova, Sarka, et
al. (2017), “advanced maternal age” – which, according to
many experts, is as young as 35 – is a risk factor for a
variety of issues that can occur during pregnancy, labor,
and delivery.

 Post-mature baby

In cases of post-term pregnancy, the fetus may be too


large because it became over-developed in the womb, making
delivery difficult and increasing the risk for birth trauma,
brain bleeds, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE),
cerebral palsy, seizures, and other forms of brain damage.

 Fetal Position

Before delivery, it is critical that the fetus is in this


standard vertex presentation and within the normal range for
weight and size. This helps ensure the safety of both baby
and mother during labor. Any position other than vertex
position is abnormal and can make vaginal delivery much more
difficult or sometimes impossible. (Moldenhauer, 2018).

 Increased Fetal Weight

Risk factors for fetal macrosomia include mothers who are


maternal obesity or overweight (more than 8 pounds, 13
ounces (4,000 grams), regardless of his or her gestational
age.

 Polyhydramnios

COLLEGE OF NURSING
Polyhydramnios is also called as hydramnios or amniotic
fluid disorder, is a pregnancy complication in which there
is an abnormal increase in the volume of amniotic fluid.

According to Hamza (2013), symptoms and complications of


polyhydramnios include maternal breathing difficulties,
preterm labor, premature rupture of membranes (PROM),
unusual fetal presentation, umbilical cord prolapse, and
postpartum hemorrhage.

 Previous Caesarean delivery

Women who have had a previous caesarean delivery are at


increased risk of unexplained stillbirth in the second
pregnancy. A mother may have the risk of having a large
fetus.

 Multiparity

Multiparity which refers to a mother that has previously


been pregnant. Woman who are multiparas, tend to be more
likely to be of old age which might be the reasons for
increased morbidity and mortality. It can have many medical
and obstetrical complications because of its risk factors in
labor and delivery.

 DAT instructed after her surgery.

 Assess the client’s medication response

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES

Listed below are several methods employed by physicians to


try and assess the size of the pelvis and baby, which can
help to diagnose CPD:

 Pelvimetry by MRI: This is used to assess the


dimensions of the pelvis, determine the baby’s
position, and examine the soft tissues of the mother
and baby.
 Clinical pelvimetry: This is a process used to assess
the size of the birth canal using the hands and/or with
a pelvimeter.
 Ultrasound: The baby’s head and body size are measured
during a routine ultrasound examination. Measurements
are compared against standardized growth charts to
determine the relative risk of CPD by the time of
delivery.
 X-ray or CT pelvimetry: This is a radiographic
examination used to determine the dimensions of the
mother’s pelvis and the diameter of the baby’s head.
The value of x-ray pelvimetry needs to be weighed
against the risk of radiation exposure.

CHAPTER IV
EVALUATION:
Cephalo-pelvic disproportion is a condition in which there
is a mismatch between the fetus size and the mother’s pelvis
which is a complication in pregnancy that may result from
different predisposing factors. There are several ways on
diagnosing this condition and upon diagnosis a caesarian section
is required to deliver the fetus.

CONCLUSIONS:
It is important that aside from examining the fetal size and the
mother’s pelvic condition in assessing for the possibility of CPD, it
is crucial to always include the patients diet, lifestyle, and other
illness that may contribute to failure of vaginal delivery such as
gestational diabetes and maternal obesity.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

It is necessary that the medical professionals involved in


the examining of the condition of the mother and the fetus is to
ensure that they could identify the cause or the factor that is
preventing the fetus from making its way through the birth canal,
but more importantly to diagnose what exactly the problem is.

METHODS – SAMPLE ONLY

Medication:

Antibiotics usually are the first line medication for urinary tract
infections.

Environment/Exercise:

The client was advised to walk in the afternoon too since she walks
every morning, she cannot do any chores that’s why walking as her
exercise is good even 10 minutes per day, having an exercise per day
can reduce fatigue and can manage stress and anxiety.

Treatment:

 Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and


flush out bacteria.

 Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder. Avoid coffee,


alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine

until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your
bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to
urinate.

 Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to
your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.

Health Teaching:

 Educate the client to talk about her pain with the family
members in assessing severity, frequency, and characteristic
of pain to help her determine level of it.

 The client is encouraged to have deep breathing exercise to


help alleviate stress and anxiousness caused by the pain.

 Personal Hygiene is important to prevent infection.

 Advice to take medications on time and with the right dose.

 Instruct the patient to eat nutritious food such as vegetables


and fruits.

OPD (Follow up Checkup):

 Instruct the patient to comply with the prescribed medication.

 Encourage patient to visit physician one to two weeks after


discharge from the hospital

 Instruct the patient to visit physician immediately if any


unusualities arise.

Diet:

The client is advised on healthy diet of high antioxidant foods. These


foods include cranberries, blueberries, oranges, dark chocolate,
unsweetened probiotic yogurt, tomatoes, broccoli and spinach. Of
course, plenty of water is also essential when fighting off a UTI.

Spirituality:

Encourage client to communicate and pray to God.
