Leopold's Maneuvers - Answer A series of four maneuvers designed to provide a systematic approach
whereby the examiner may determine fetal presentation and position.
answers 3 questions
1. which fetal part is in the uterine fundus
2. where is the fetal back located
, 3. what is the presenting fetal part
can also be used to estimate fetal size
if the cephalic prominence is found on the same side as the small parts, this means that - Answer that
the head must be flexed and the vertex is presenting
Process of Leopold Maneuvers - Answer ask the woman to empty her bladder
position the woman in supine
1. identify the fetal part that occupies the fundus. the head feels round, firm, and freely movable; the
breech feels less regular and softer. this maneuver identifies fetal lie (longitudinal or transverse) and
presentation (cephalic or breech)
2. using the palmar surface of one hand, locate and palpate the smooth convex contour of the fetal back
and the irregular that identify the small parts (feet, hands, knees, elbow) this maneuver helps to identify
fetal presentation
3. determine which fetal part is presenting over the inlet to the true pelvis. gently grasp the lower pole
of the uterus between your thumb and fingers, pressing in slightly. if the the head is presenting and not
engaged, determine the attitude of the head (flexed or extended)
4. turn to face the woman's feet using both hands outline the fetal head with the palmar surface of your
fingers tips. when the presenting part has descended deeply only a small portion of it may be outlined.
palpation of cephalic prominence helps identify the attitude of the head.
if the cephalic prominence is on the same side as the back this indicates that the presenting part is -
Answer extended and the face is presenting
if the cephalic prominence is found on the same side as the small parts, this means? - Answer the head
must be flexed and the vertex is presenting
