 | | Dilation of the aorta may be caused by concussion of the ninth to twelfth thoracic spines or transverse processes. | | | To dilate the vascular supply to the spinal cords we apply vigorous but intermittent spinal concussion to the eleventh thoracic spine or transverse processes, which will cause a dilation of the blood vessels of the spinal column and this measure is very helpful in the treatment of paralysis. | | | Concussion of the eleventh dorsal spine or stimulation by paravertebral nerve pressure or the sinusoidal current will cause dilation of the intestines, and this is an excellent measure in the treatment of spastic constipation and in the treatment of appendicitis. |

| | Dilation and evacuation (D&E) for abortion |
| | Dilation and evacuation (D&E) is a surgical procedure. | | | Dilating the cervix reduces the risk of any injury to the cervix during the procedure. | | | If the procedure is done in an operating room, you could receive a spinal anesthesia injection into the fluid around the spinal cord, which numbs the area between your legs, or general anesthesia, which makes you unconscious. |

| | Finally, with a database of such accurate dilation curves it is thought that better decisions can be made on interventions because one has a better understanding of the distribution of dilation behavior among different patients or patient groups. | | | Although there have been numerous historical attempts to increase the accuracy and automate the measurement of cervical dilatation, IPF is not aware of any commercially available, objective monitoring system for cervical diameter. | | | Given the subjective, intermittent nature of the measurement, it is not surprising that there is a great deal of variability in the measurement of cervical dilatation. |

| | It is a clinical description relating to the recovery phase immediately following the completion of the third stage of labor, during which careful observation of the patient is required to ensure that the uterus does not relax and that bleeding does not occur. | | | In clinical practice the acceleration and deceleration phases are not readily recognized unless frequent vaginal examinations are performed. | | | While the uterine of labor are usually painful, they are sometimes only mildly painful, particularly in the early stages of labour. |

| | Induction of cervical ripening is critical to successful induction of labor in a pregnant patient whose cervix has not gone through the ripening process. | | | An associated change with the cervical ripening process is an increase in cervical decorin (dermatan sulfate proteoglycan 2), which leads to collagen fiber separation. | | | All of these changes are associated with the cervical ripening process. |

| | To minimize the chance of cervical tearing, manual dilation should be fairly gentle, the cervix should continue to be assessed after the procedure, and the mother should not push until she feels the descent of the baby. | | | I think of the 'swollen cervix' in the mother as similar to the 'caput' in the fetus; both are caused by 'extreme' pressure' and some people's bodies are no doubt more susceptible to forming edema in the labor process. | | | I usually suspect either a nuchal hand/arm changing the angle of the approach, or with multips with lax abdomens, simply that the abdominal muscles are not holding the baby's body at the correct angle. |
