primary uterine inertia


True uterine inertia, uterine inertia that occurs when the uterus fails to contract with sufficient force to effect continuous dilation or effacement of the cervix or descent or rotation of the foetal head, and when the uterus is easily indentable at the acme of contraction, secondary uterine inertia, uterine inertia that occurs when the uterine contractions are vigorous but, as a result of the exhaustion or dehydration of the patient, decrease in vigor, and the progress of labour ceases.
