About this document
Cephalopelvic Disproportion Overview by Ruru Alharthy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD) refers to the relationship between the size of the fetal head and the dimensions of the maternal pelvis. Ultrasounds and CT scans can assess fetal size and position, while manual exams evaluate pelvic measurements. If labor progress stalls due to CPD, a cesarean delivery may be required. Nurses monitor mother and baby for signs of distress, encourage positions to widen pelvic diameters, and provide support through the complicated birthing process.
