Third stage management: how important is it?

J R Fliegner

    The Medical Journal of Australia
    |August 26, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Active management of the third stage of labor is recommended. Intravenous ergometrine and controlled cord traction are advised for placental delivery after confirming no second twin.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • The third stage of labor, following delivery of the baby, requires careful management to prevent complications.
    • Oxytocics play a crucial role in uterine contraction and placental expulsion.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the normal physiology of the third stage of labor.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of different third-stage management policies.
    • To compare traditional methods with controlled cord traction for placental delivery.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of physiological processes during the third stage of labor.
    • Assessment of existing literature on third-stage management strategies.
    • Comparative analysis of traditional placental delivery versus controlled cord traction.

    Main Results:

    • Ergometrine (0.25 mg) administered intravenously post-delivery is effective.
    • Controlled cord traction is a viable method for placental delivery once uterine contraction is confirmed.
    • Exclusion of a second twin is a necessary prerequisite before placental delivery.

    Conclusions:

    • Active management of the third stage of labor is recommended.
    • Intravenous ergometrine followed by controlled cord traction offers an effective approach to placental delivery.
    • This approach balances efficacy and safety in managing the third stage of labor.
