Improving fetal dystocia management using simulation in Senegal: midterm results

Fetal dystocia.

Fetal dystocia is the result of an unfortunate relationship between fetal anatomy and maternal pelvic capacity. Most commonly, arrest of labor progress occurs at a point at which the problem is solved without significant risk to maternal-fetal welfare by abdominal delivery. This article has, in part, focused upon some rare exceptions and on how to anticipate and deal with them as well as possible.

Improving shoulder dystocia management among resident and attending physicians using simulations.

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to determine whether a simulation-based educational program would improve residents' and attending physicians' performance in a simulated shoulder dystocia. STUDY DESIGN Seventy-one obstetricians participated in an unanticipated simulated shoulder dystocia, an educational debriefing session, and a subsequent shoulder dystocia simulation. Each simulatio...

Dystocia in a Buffaloes Due to Fetal Ascites

Foetal ascites is seen as an occasional cause of dystocia in farm animals. Two cases of dystocia due to fetal ascites in buffaloes (5 and 8 years old) were presented to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Pantnagar. The animals had completed gestation and the waterbags came normally but parturition did not progress. The animals had been straining since the previous day, and both hind limbs were o...

Fetal ascites as a cause of dystocia in labour.

Fetal AsciteS, a relatively uncommon problem, is now being diagnosed more frequently following the introduction of routine ultrasound scanning during pregnancy. As a cause of dystocia in labour, however the condition is very rare and not many cases have been reported in literature, Three centuries ago Mauriceau (1681) described his difficulties in delivering a woman of an infant whose abdomen w...
