Normal Vaginal Delivery Note
At 2120 this 22 year old G2 now P2002 delivered a viable male
infant via normal spontaneous vaginal delivery under epidural
anesthesia. The infant delivered in ROA position over intact
perineum. Nuchal cord x 1 was easily reduced. The infant
was bulb suctioned at the perineum. The cord was clamped
and cut and the infant was place in the warmer. Placenta was
delivered spontaneously and intact with 3 vessel cord. The
fundus was firm with massage and IV Pitocin. There were no
cervical, vaginal, or perineal lacerations. Male infant weights
3486g, 7# 12oz, and APGARS 8 at 1 minute and 9 at 5
minutes. EBL is 250mL. Excellent hemostasis is noted.
Mother and infant were transferred to postpartum in stable
condition. Dr. Attending was present for the delivery and Dr.
Resident and Dr. Medical student assisted with the delivery:
Other information to add:
If positive meconium, mention NICU present.
If shoulder dystocia: document maneuvers used in order and
check with nurses on recorded clock times for consistent
documentation. Document total time on perineum.
If laceration, document degree, repair, suture used and
anesthesia.
If uterine atony, note blood loss, and medications/procedures
used to control bleeding.
If forceps or vacuum, document verbal consent, placementstation and position of head and instrument on head, number

Indication: prolonged2nd stage; inadequate maternal effort, etc
SVE: fully dilated @ station +3 in __OA position
Decision was made to apply the Kiwi vacuum @ ___ (time) for the
above indications. The edges of the cup of the Kiwi vacuum were
placed approx 3cm from the anterior fontanelle, and just at the edge
of the posterior fontanelle. The center of the cup was placed over
the flexion point. The edges of the cup were swept with a finger to
ensure that no maternal tissues were entrapped.
After correct placement of the cup was confirmed, vacuum pressure
was raised to 500-600 mmHg. Gentle traction along the axis of the
pelvic curve (i.e., down then up), was applied in concert with
maternal pushing. ___ # applications. ___ # popoffs.
The baby’s head was delivered and gentle traction was applied to
deliver the anterior shoulders and the rest of the body. (nuchal cord)
The cord was double clamped and cut. Cord pH sample sent. The
placenta was then delivered spontaneously. Pitocin 20 units in 1L
LR was initiated. The vagina and perineal areas were inspected for
lacerations and repaired ___. Hemostasis was assured and required
repairs performed
EBL = ___
Complications: __
