21 YO P0 at term with mild gestational hypertension was ripened and induced.

Admission, 1.5/50--cervidil 8 PM.

SROM next day 0830; Pitocin begun, epidural eventually

1500--4 cm/80% (CNM) 1700--no change per me, EFW 3500g, narrow arch, tight spines, and easily reached diagonal conjugate. Station -3, unchanged. Told patient/husband of lack of progress and poor pelvic architecture. IUPC immediately shows adequate labor, C/S discussed and advised. 1900--no change, labor very adequate, C/S advised and refused.

What's next?

How long do you wait before making the diagnosis of arrest of dilatation?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
