CPD(Cephalopelvic disproportion, 아두골반불균형)

1. 서론

Cephalopelvic disproportion (CPD), or cephalopelvic disproportion, is a clinical condition encountered during labor and delivery, characterized by a mismatch between the size of the fetal head and the dimensions of the maternal pelvis. This discrepancy can prevent a successful vaginal delivery, often leading to considerations for cesarean delivery. Understanding CPD requires a multifaceted exploration of various factors, including maternal and fetal anatomy, the stages of labor, and the potential implications of this condition for both the mother and the infant. From an anatomical perspective, the human pelvis comprises a complex bony structure that varies considerably among individuals, with factors such as genetics, age, and parity influencing its shape and size. The fetal head is also subject to variability, affected by factors such as gestational age, fetal positioning, and even the presence of molding during labor, where the soft tissues of the skull overlap slightly to…
