OB skills workshop 10/22/09

Some rough ideas for an agenda from Dr. Brost:

ultrasound skills

using fetal pigs:
1) identifying stomach, kidneys, diaphragm, spine, extremities, ?bladder on fetal pigs
2) measuring crown-rump length
3) identifying the yolk sac
4) measuring cervical length (in development)
5) using M-mode
6) AFI
7) BPD
8) turning dials and knobs and looking smart

patient encounter
approach to the OB patient when there is uncertainty or bad news
[can't find the fetus, or can but there's no heartbeat, etc)

OB emergencies
dystocia
post-partum hemorrhage
