For example, in an earlier study with 99 precipitous labors at term by Mahon et al, precipitous labor occurred mostly in multiparous women. However, limited information exists on maternal and perinatal outcome after precipitous labor, especially in nulliparous women. In addition, precipitous labor has been observed to be associated with the higher rate of placental abruption. Postpartum hemorrhage associated with uterine atony following short labor in multiparous women seems to be experienced often in the clinical setting. For example, the uterus that contracts with unusual vigor before labor may be likely to be hypotonic after delivery, with hemorrhage from the placental implantation as the consequence. The prevailing opinion has been that too rapid a labor can result in maternal injury and place the fetus at risk for traumatic or asphyxia insults. It has been supposed to result from an abnormally low resistance of the soft pass of birth canal, from abnormally strong uterine and abdominal contractions, or rarely from the absence of painful sensations. It is defined as expulsion of the fetus within less than 3 h of commencement of regular contractions. Precipitous labor is extremely rapid labor and delivery. Not only can labor be too slow, but it also can be abnormally rapid.
Keywords: Precipitous labor Hypertensive disorders Maternal outcome Introduction No significant differences were noted between the two groups regarding maternal or neonatal complications on both nulliparous and two-parous women.Ĭonclusion: Although precipitous labor was associated with hypertensive disorders in singleton vertex deliveries, it was not associated with maternal or neonatal outcomes. Results: Using a multivariate analysis, precipitous labor in nulliparous women was independently associated with teenagers (adjusted OR: 1.71, 95% CI: 0.99 - 2.95, P = 0.049), preterm delivery (adjusted OR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.16 - 2.70, P < 0.01) and hypertensive disorders (adjusted OR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.19 - 2.65, P < 0.01), while in two-parous women, it was independently associated with hypertensive disorders (adjusted OR: 2.64, 95% CI: 1.33 - 5.24, P < 0.01). We examined the clinical characteristics and outcomes by comparing patients with precipitous labor and those with labor of normal duration in 0 and two-parous singleton pregnant women. Methods: A retrospective population-based study was conducted comparing women with singleton precipitous labor and those with labor of normal duration. We retrospectively examined our cases of precipitous labor to identify the clinical significance and perinatal outcomes following precipitous labor in singleton vertex deliveries. Background: Precipitous labor is defined as expulsion of the fetus within less than 3 hours of commencement of regular contractions.
