Uterine Tachysystole
DISORDER/DISEASE PROCESS __________________________________________________________ REVIEW MODULE CHAPTER ___________
Alterations in Pathophysiology Related Health Promotion and
Health (Diagnosis) to Client Problem Disease Prevention
serious issue of labor induction, contraction & impairment to uteroplacental blood wait for spontaneous labor, no
frequency >2min & longer than 90sec, intensity
resulting in pressure >90mmHg, no uterine relaxation flow resulting in fetal heart rate
between contractions abnormalities, fetal hypoxia and cervical ripening or pitocin,
damage fundal massage
ASSESSMENT SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
Risk Factors Expected Findings sepsis
previous C-section, oxytocin use, hours of increased abd tenderness, unripe cervix
epidural anesthesia, abd trauma, vomiting, bleeding, tachycardia, pallor, active genital
fetal heart rate bardycardia, shoulder
placental abruption, prolonged pain, tense & rigid abdomen
herpes
labor infection uterine surgery
hx of multiple
gestations
Laboratory Tests Diagnostic Procedures
CBC, Type & Screen, antibody monitor BP, blood loss analysis,
tests, clotting factors Hct & clotting factors, urine protein
during pregnancy
PATIENT-CENTERED CARE Complications
Nursing Care Medications Client Education decrease in fetal
s/s of preterm labor & when to
blood supply & O2
assess ability to cope with birth discontinue hypoxia
(q15-30min), assess FHR if go to ER or call PCP, L side
oxytocin if lying to relieve baby of body ischemia
membrane ruptures, notify
HCP immediately
uterine weight, less Na in diet acidosis
tachysystole
occurs maternal
injury/uterine
terbutiline rupture
