An anonymous survey of registrar training in the use of Kjelland's forceps in AustraliaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Large series suggest that, when used with appropriate care and skill, rotational deliveries with Kjelland's forceps are a safe and useful procedure. We surveyed obstetric trainees in Australia to assess their experience with, and intentions to use, Kjelland's forceps. The response rate was 65%, and it was uncommon for even senior trainees to have performed more than ten Kjelland's forceps rotations during their training. Ninety-four per cent of final-year trainees stated they did not intend to use Kjelland's forceps in their consultant practice.

Postnatal testing for diabetes in Australian women following gestational diabetes mellitusEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Specialist diabetes care in non-tertiary educated women, or a team approach to management with diabetes education and obstetric care may act to reinforce the need for postnatal diabetes testing in accordance with the ADIPS guidelines. Individualised follow up from a health professional and provision of written information following a GDM pregnancy may also encourage return for postnatal testing in this high-risk group.

Term breech singletons and caesarean section: A population study, Australia 1991–2005Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Planned caesarean section is the standard method of birth for term breech singletons in Australia. Active measures including external cephalic version should be supported to reduce the rate of caesarean section where clinically indicated. Retention of a skilled clinical workforce is essential in the provision of the latter and to assist the minority of women having vaginal breech births. Breech presentation is not a major factor in the overall rise in caesarean section experienced by Australia since 1996. (Source: The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Conclusions: The diagnosis of CSP can be challenging, and awareness of this condition is needed, particularly as the incidence is increasing.

Conclusion: In the absence of significant risk factors for haemorrhage at CS in a tertiary setting, routine blood type and screen testing does not enhance patient care.

Systematic multidisciplinary approach to reporting perinatal mortality: Lessons from a five-year regional reviewEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Causes of perinatal death for the ACT and surrounding New South Wales region are similar to other states using this classification system. The following are considered important lessons to promote accurate perinatal mortality reporting: (i) a universal reporting system for Australia utilising a multidisciplinary team; (ii) a high perinatal autopsy rate, especially in the critical area of antepartum death with no identifiable cause; and (iii) standardised definitions for avoidability. Attention to these areas may prompt further research and changes in practice to further reduce perinatal mortality. (Source: The...

A case of an attempted suicide with atypical antipsychotic (clozapine) in late pregnancy is reported. Toxic effects of clozapine in the mother as well as in the fetus and newborn were observed.

Lower gestation and intrauterine growth restriction were significant risk factors for death. Most deaths occurred in the first month of life and at the lowest gestation in the first week.

Fetal extrasystole may predict poor neonatal outcomeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Extrasystoles particularly premature atrial contractions noted during labour on the fetal heart rate monitoring strip are usually thought to be benign. In pregnancies complicated by fetal infection and/or the fetal inflammatory response syndrome, there are some data that extrasystoles noted during the intrapartum period may be related to neonatal sepsis and eventual poor neonatal outcome including death or neonatal encephalopathy. Additional observations are needed to substantiate this hypothesis. (Source: The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology)

Ectopic pregnancy: Challenging accepted management strategiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Ectopic pregnancy is still the number one cause of maternal deaths in early pregnancy. The diagnostic capabilities of transvaginal ultrasound to confirm an EP are well founded. In fact, ultrasound technology, particularly the introduction of high-resolution transvaginal probes, has been the driving force behind the revolutionary change towards conservative management strategies in ectopic pregnancy care. Clinically stable women, however, with a scan diagnosis of a tubal ectopic pregnancy still routinely undergo surgery or are given methotrexate (MTX) at presentation. Conservative management for ectopic pregnancy may be con...
