Filter by:The objective of this observational study is to identify maternal and fetal characteristics that impact image quality in prenatal ultrasonography. The investigators have assembled a retrospective cohort of 198 patients, each contributing three ultrasound images taken between 18 and 18 weeks and 6 days of gestation. For each image, the investigators assess the quality of two distinct elements as well as the overall image through both subjective and objective evaluations. The primary questions the study seeks to address are: What maternal and fetal characteristics influence image quality in prenatal ultrasonography?
The goal of this observational study is to determine whether the subjective assessment of the quality of obstetrical ultrasonography pictures can be similar to that of an objective tool. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the subjective assessment of the quality of obstetrical ultrasonography pictures by a young practitioner and an experienced one can be similar to that of an objective tool, such as the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR)? The contrast-to-noise ratio is commonly used in radiology to evaluate image quality by assessing the ability to distinguish differences between two elements. The investigators selected a retrospective cohort of 198 patients, including three pictures per fetus screened between 18 and 18 weeks and 6 days. For each picture, the investigators assessed the quality of two different elements and the entire image, and then calculated the CNR using software. The investigators will compare the three assessment between them
200 women will be randomly divided into 2 equal groups using computer generated random numbers. Group 1 will receive Carbetocin 100 µgm (Pabal® Ferring, UK) and group 2 will receive oxytocin 5IU (Syntocinon®, Novartis, Switzerland).
There is no large-scale data in France or internationally, on the quality of care in gynecological emergencies, or the consequences of delay or misdiagnosis of women's health or on determinants of these delays or misdiagnosis. The creation of a sentinel network for gynecological emergencies could help quantify these links and test strategies to avoid the worst effects by implementing simple diagnostic tools from clinical research. The network will be designed to promote research in women's health and the emergency reception by focusing on: (i) Assessment of the quality and organization of care and professional practice for the management of gynecological emergencies. (ii) The study of severe morbidity and its determinants (iii) comparison of organizational practices and health outcomes of women over time within the same department or between services having substantially the same recruitment (iv) Comparison of organization systems gynecological emergencies departement between different high resource francophone countries (France, Switzerland, Belgium). (v) The assessment of new diagnostic strategies (sorting or diagnostic aid) or therapeutic derived from clinical research.
The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of training in Breaking Bad News (BBN) skills. We hypothesize that given little or no formal training in breaking bad news, obstetric providers will benefit from a curriculum of teaching breaking bad news techniques, but will benefit more from a simulation teaching technique than from a lecture in breaking bad news techniques. The investigators also hypothesize that providers who have undergone breaking bad news simulation will receive improved scores after the simulation debriefing compared to their pre-simulation scores, and their improvement with be greater than the control group.
Care for pregnant is a field where unexpected emergencies occur, however emergencies are rare and hence competences difficult to learn. Therefore, it can be relevant to use simulation-based medical education. Many questions on how simulation can optimise learning remain unanswered. A major question is how simulation settings as 'in situ simulation' (i.e. in the actual patient care unit) versus 'off site simulation' (i.e. in training rooms or simulation center) impact learning. Objectives: To study the effect of 'in situ simulation' versus 'off site simulation' on learning outcome, safety-attitudes, team performance and clinical performance in the simulated setting plus stress and motivational inducing effect of simulation settings. Design: Randomised trial. Primary outcome: Written knowledge-test. Exploratory outcomes: Safety Attitudes Questionnaire, team- and clinical performance score, validated stress inventory, salivary cortisol, Intrinsic Motivation Inventory and questionnaire on perceptions of the simulation and organisational changes needed. Perspective: To provide new knowledge on contextual effects of different simulation settings.
The Study purpose is to monitor the cervix dilation, head descent, FHR and to follow contraction in a women in active labor.
The study is a feasibility study to check the possibility of tracking the heart rate of the fetus and to translate the outcome to the progress of the labor
The study is an open label feasibility study. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ease of use of the Cervical ITR in terms of duration of attachment and number of detachments.
In this study we are trying to compare the safety and financial benefit of starting the realimentation early versus conventional oral intake following the Cesarean surgery in Iran.
