“The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body, the more
efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent
to produce outstanding results”

INTRODUCTION
3
Obstructed labour in one where inspite of good uterine contractions,
the progressive descent of the presenting part is arrested due to mechanical
obstruction[2].
4
maternal mortality ratio of 2.232/100000 live births. The most common cause
of maternal mortality is obstructed labour 13.0% . The percentage of maternal
mortality for un booked mother was ten times that booked mothers,
unbooked status is a risk factor for maternal mortality[6].
A article state that every year 85,000 were died due to obstructed
labour and many more loss their baby and have debilitating physical damage
as a result[8].
5
Earlier detection and prompt referral for appropriate treatment are vital
to minimized the complication and ensure the safe delivery. This requires
particular attention in midwifery education.
DEFINITION
Review of a literature for this study has been organized under the
following;
6
A study was conducted on to evaluate the contributory factors to the
high frequency of referred cases in obstructed labour at state’s referral
hospital, a questionnaire-based survey of 396 maternity care-providers from
66 randomly selected peripheral delivery units in ogun state, Nigeria was
conducted over a 2-month period, to evaluate their knowledge and use of the
partograph. The majority of the personnal were nurses/midwives (45.5%) and
community health extension workers(42.7%).of the 216 personnel(54.5%)
who were aware of the partograph ,36(16.7%),119 (55.5%) and 61 (28.2%)
demonstrated poor, fair and good levels of knowledge.No junior community
health extension had a satisfactory knowledge of the partograph.only
39(9.8%) of all the personnel routinely employed the partograph for labour
management and almost half of these individuals had a poor level of
knowledge.effort to limits the frequency of referred cases of established
obstructed labour to the hospital should include training of care-providers at
the peripheral delivery units,especially junior personnel in the effective use
of the partograph, in addition to employing quality assurance measures to
check inappropriate use[11].
7
A study was conducted on incidence of obstructed labour at eastern
Nigeria over a five year period 527 cases of obstructed labour were recorded,
while 11,299 deliveries were conducted and given an incidence of 4.7%. The
majority of the mother of 59% were primigravida. The incidence of
obstructed labour was much higher for unbooked patient (33%) than for the
booked patient (1.7%). The study concluded education of primary health
providers and traditional birth attendants on the referral is suggested to reduce
the incidence of the condition[3].
8
common 22.1 % this was followed by deaths from pregnancy and neonatal
preterm related causes 18.3% prolonged obstructed labour was the leading
cause of death (periodic review of hospital deaths could be important in
knowing the changing pattern of mortality) [15].
9
management protocols, this inexpensive tool can effectively monitor labour
and prevent obstructed labour[18].
10
reproductive and contraceptive servies will help reduce the prevalence of this
complication[21].
11
preparedness including failure to obtain operative delivery, poor birth
monitoring and lack of trained personnal, electricity medical equipment and
drugs. It was concluded that intervention, addressing the profound
deficiencies within the health care system and increasing access to
emergency obstetric care are warranted to reduce maternal death in a poor
setting[24].
