Schroeder's Vs Bandl's ring

Schroeder's  Vs Bandl's ring

Bandl's ring:- 

1) It is seen in obstructed labour

2) It is a pathological ring

3) It is a retraction ring

4) It moves up with uterine contractions

5) It can be palpable per-abdominally but not pervaginally

(Remember- Bandl has A after B which stands for per-abdominally)

6) Management: Like obstructed labour, C-section and antibiotics.

Schroeder's ring:-

1) Seen when oxytocin is used judiciously.

2) It is a physiological ring.

3) It is a constriction ring.

4) It is fixed ring, does not move with uterine contractions

5) It can be palpable pervaginally but not per-abdominally.

6) Management: It dissolves on it's own.

If not, then management in first stage of labour includes C-section.

Management in second stage includes forceps or c section.

That's it!
