8 Mandatory Requirements
“Demonstrate sufficient competency on the Maternity and Newborn Field Note (FN) from across the different pregnancy stages antenatal, intra-partum and post-partum skills.” Effective : PGY1s: must demonstrate exposure to 80% of intrapartum, antenatal and postpartum competencies PGY2s: must demonstrate attainment of 80% of intrapartum, antenatal and postpartum competencies Completed FNs should be completed electronically (eFN) or faxed immediately (fax no. bottom right corner of form)

9 FM Resident OB Supervisors
Maternity & Newborn Field Note - can be completed by: Family Physicians Staff Obstetrician Senior OB/Gyn Residents Obstetrical Nurses

10 New DFM Evaluation Policy: when no designated/continuous preceptor
Maternity & Newborn Field notes (FNs): ≥1/day expected RN &/or Ob-Gyn residents (>PGY2) 60% of FNs must be staff MD (FMOB or OBGyn) name, role & PGY level (if resident) of evaluator MUST be clear or FN WILL BE DISCARDED Initiated by Resident or assessor

11 FM Resident Role in Obstetrics
“Senior” for FM-OB but “Junior” for OB service Environment provides opportunity to work with many Special role of OB Nurse appreciate different approaches Watch, Listen, Learn and Do!! Communicate status of each patient to: Staff (OB, FM-OB) or Senior (OB resident) - on admission, prior to d/c or any significant intervention - q2-4h in labour - q1h when pushing

12 At the start of each shift
Identify yourself to Care Facilitator (CF) or Team Leader (TL) Introduce yourself to RNs, staff OB, OB resident Write contact info on white board & link to your patients (white board at Nursing station and in patient room) FM Resident to FM Resident handover weekdays and 0800 on Sat/Sun/holidays – vitally important skill

13 Attend interdisciplinary rounds with team in AM and PM – variable time, around 0745 and 1700
Staff OB, OB Resident Care Facilitator / Team Leader and Nursing Sometimes: med student, anesthesia, MFM Meet your patients - review history & plan prior to entering the room, introduce yourself to patient and RN Name on whiteboard If patient is Family Practice patient/low risk, ask RN to call you for ALL assessments At OGH – Interdisciplinary handover is 0745 at the CF desk Mon, Tue, Thurs and Friday on Wednesdays and 0845 on Sat. and Sun. Evening handover is 1700 Mon-Fri and 2000 Sat/Sun At OCH – Interdisciplinary handover is 0745 Mon, Tue, Friday and 0845 Wed and Thurs. Handover is 0800 on weekends. Evening handover is 1715 Mon to Thurs, 1615 on Friday and 2000 on weekends

14 Family Practice patients – 1st priority:
responsible for all assessments management of labor attendance at deliveries & newborn assessments involve staff FM-OB, NOT OB resident in plan of care Also follow LOW RISK, term OB patients Include OB resident in plan of care (keeping them updated of changes) any concerns -> speak to OB resident first, then on-call staff Obstetrician prn

15 Keep CF/TL & census (white) board up to date
‘Check In’ with your patients progress at least Q2 hourly -write note after each assessment Update the CF and supervising staff after each patient assessment. Discuss any concerns with the Family Physician or OBS resident. (i.e. slow progress, abnormal FHS, meconium etc.) PROTOCOL: Active Management of Labor Expect to be called for triage assessments – maintain a high profile around the Nursing station

16 Obstetrical Areas OAU – Obstetrical Assessment Unit (Triage)
Birthing Unit (BU/Case Room) Postpartum ward – A4 OCH, 8E OGH

17 1. Obstetrical Assessment Unit (OAU) = Triage
Assess outpatients Patient documentation required: History & Physical (RN supervised) Assessment Plan Review with FMOB staff/OB senior or OB staff

18 All vaginal exams confirmed by RN initially
prior to OAU discharge of FM patient you must ALWAYS contact attending FM or OB resident/staff Notify FM staff or OB resident of all admissions to the Birthing Unit

19 2. Birthing Unit Expectations
Attend all low risk deliveries assist with clean up (discard sharps, count instruments) Complete L & D documentation and Birth Record Complete PP orders Sign Medication Reconciliation form Complete newborn exam (& documentation) and orders for FM babies

20 3. Postpartum Care Post Partum Rounds
After birthing unit rounds ~08:30 Patient lists from Ward Clerk on A4/8E – both PP and newborns See, assess & 1st call for FM moms & babies Communicate with FM-OB Staff – review concerns and before all discharges May assist with OB PP rounds Reinforce newborn need for F/U 2 days after discharge PP care review/expectations in teaching session #2 and in-unit

21 Learning Opportunities!
1. Follow your patients through labor & birth (including C/S, if available) 2. Postpartum rounds/Newborn care 3. OB/gyn rounds Wednesday mornings 0730 4. Gyne (floor and ER) – sometimes, as per OB resident 5. Medical students – learn with them and teach them 6. Participate in MORE OB skills drills 7. Review TOH protocols/procedures on myHospital

22 Technical Skills Clinical Assessment: ARM – amniotomy
Abdominal Exam (Leopold’s Maneuvers) Cervical Exam - confirmed by RN initially Assessment of SROM, vag/cx swabs prn, FFN prn ARM – amniotomy Induction -> Cervidil, foley catheter Scalp Electrode Attend spontaneous vaginal delivery Perform uncomplicated perineal repair Approach to assisted vaginal delivery and management of OBS emergencies

23 1. Clinical assessment – every patient (triage and BU)
Introduce yourself to patient & supports Review the antenatal records Develop relationship, project secure/safe environment Communicate directly with patient and with RN Discuss all patients with Senior OB resident, OB staff or FM staff Never discharge a patient without reviewing with staff

25 1.b) Vaginal exam With RN supervision, with consent. Gently, avoid clitoris/urethra anteriorly 1) Cervix Location of cervix vs. presenting part: posterior, mid-position or anterior Consistency Effacement/Length (avoid % - use cm) Dilatation Membranes - ? bulging

26 1.b) Vaginal exam 2) Presenting Part Vertex / breech / other? position

27 Occiput anterior positions
1.b) Vaginal exam ROA LOA OA Posterior fontanel: smaller fontanel - intersection of sagittal two lambdoid sutures. Anterior fontanel: larger fontanel - intersection of sagittal, frontal & two coronal sutures. Occiput anterior positions

28 Occiput posterior position
1.b) Vaginal exam Occiput posterior position

29 Occiput transverse positions
1.b) Vaginal exam Occiput transverse positions ROT LOT

30 1.b) Vaginal exam 3) Station
Station of presenting part should be positively determined Pelvis is divided into 5ths -5 to +5 (fetal head visible at the introitus) “0”station or “spines” usually represents engagement of the fetal head ( i.e. biparietal plane of the fetal head has passed through the pelvic inlet)

31 Assessing descent by vaginal examination
-2 station: - leading bony edge of presenting part is 2cm above ischial spines 0 station: - head is engaged

32 1.b) Vaginal exam 4) Pelvic Architecture 5) Amniotic Fluid Assessment

43 Uterine Activity Assessment (contractions)
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Uterine Activity Assessment (contractions) Frequency (in minutes) Duration (in seconds) Intensity (mild, moderate, strong) – by history and by palpation Resting tone (soft, firm) – by palpation RN can help resident learn how to palpate the uterine fundus 43 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 43

44 Baseline FHR 110-160  normal > 160  tachycardia
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Baseline FHR Definition: approximate mean FHR rounded to 5 bpm increments in a 10-minute segment, excluding: periodic & episodic changes periods of marked FHR variability (> 25 bpm) Must be present  2 minutes or is indeterminate  normal >  tachycardia <  bradycardia 44 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 44

45 Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes
PPPESO, 2009 FHR Variability Definition: Fluctuations in baseline FHR  2 cycles per minute Irregular amplitude and frequency Visually quantitated as the amplitude of the peak-to-trough in bpm 120 150 180 90 Presence of variability is a crude indicator of fetal oxygenation as it reflects an intact CNS 45 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 45

49 Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes
PPPESO, 2009 Acceleration Definition: Abrupt increase in FHR (onset to peak in < 30 seconds)  15 bpm above baseline lasting  15 sec. Before 32 weeks:  10 bpm for  10 sec. Prolonged acceleration is  2 minutes Acceleration 10 minutes is a baseline change NORMAL finding Accelerations are a sympathetic response indicating an intact, oxygenated CNS 49 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 49

50 Reflex vagal response associated with
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Early Deceleration Definition: Gradual decrease in FHR (onset to peak in  30 seconds) associated with a uterine contraction Onset, nadir and recovery coincide with contraction NORMAL ie. reassuring 120 150 180 90 100 25 50 75 Remind participants that these are uncommon, despite the fact that every baby’s head obviously gets compressed coming through the pelvis. Why don’t we see these more often? Perhaps they are more common when the head is de-flexed, asynclitic or otherwise malpositioned. Not a lot of research into this No acid-base complications UNLESS associated with nonreassuring baseline features No interventions required for the early decels, however, look at the total clinical picture for lack of progress which might explain the difficulty of the head in maneuvering through the pelvis Reflex vagal response associated with head compression 50 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 50

51 Variable Deceleration
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Variable Deceleration Definition: Abrupt decrease in FHR (onset to peak in < 30 seconds) that is  15 bpm below the baseline for  15 sec., and < 2 minutes from onset to return to baseline When periodic, their onset, depth and duration commonly vary with successive contractions Can be NORMAL, ATYPICAL or ABNORMAL 120 150 180 90 100 25 50 75 Reflex response to cord compression during or between contractions © PPPESO 2009 51 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 51

52 Variable Deceleration
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Variable Deceleration “Shoulders” “Overshoots” NORMAL (REASSURING) ABNORMAL (NON-REASSURING) 52 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 52

53 Complicated Variable Decelerations
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Complicated Variable Decelerations Deceleration <70 bpm >60 sec. Loss of variability of baseline and in the trough Biphasic deceleration Overshoot (20 bpm increase by 20 seconds Slow return to baseline Continuation of baseline rate at a lower level than prior to the deceleration Presence of tachycardia or bradycardia 53 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 53 53

54 Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes
PPPESO, 2009 Late Deceleration Definition: Gradual decrease in the FHR (onset to peak in  30 seconds) associated with a contraction Onset, nadir & recovery occur after the beginning, peak & end of contraction ATYPICAL or ABNORMAL ie. Non-reassuring 120 150 180 90 100 25 50 75 Chemoreceptor & vagal response to utero-placental insufficiency , reflecting marginal fetal oxygenation Stress to participants that late decels might be either reflex (and therefore probably correctable) and occasional or related to some sort of chronic problem (poor placenta, or hypertension affecting placental blood flow) that are repetitive and not likely correctable. This doesn’t get documented, but helps care providers think about the likely success of their interventions. For example, late decelerations associated with a healthy woman who happens to be positioned on her back are probably correctable. 54 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 54

55 Prolonged Deceleration
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Prolonged Deceleration Visually apparent decrease in FHR below baseline, > 15 bpm, lasting > 3 minutes, but < 10 minutes from onset to return to baseline Decrease calculated from the most recently determined portion of baseline Prolonged deceleration > 10 min is a baseline change ABNORMAL (Nonreassuring) Chemoreceptor, baroreceptor & CNS responses to profound changes in fetal environment 55 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 55

56 Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes
PPPESO, 2009 Rare FHR changes Sinusoidal pattern differs from variability in that it has a smooth, sine wave-like pattern of regular frequency and amplitude, and is excluded in the definition of FHR variability Associated with fetal anemia Is classified as an ABNORMAL finding 56 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 56

60 Factors to consider when interpreting FHR characteristics
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Factors to consider when interpreting FHR characteristics Gestational age Fetal behavioral state External factors / influences Cause of decreased oxygen delivery Duration of precipitating cause The overall clinical picture! Review each of these factors: QUESTIONS: What is the reason that we should consider each of the above stated factors? 60 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 60

61 Responses to Atypical and Abnormal FHR
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 Responses to Atypical and Abnormal FHR Consider total clinical picture Further assessments to identify potential causes (maternal, fetal, placental) and to assess fetal well-being Fetal scalp stimulation Fetal scalp sampling Clinical actions to: remove aggravating condition(s) institute intrauterine resuscitation techniques 61 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 61

62 RECOMMENDATION: Digital Fetal Scalp Stimulation
Fetal Health Surveillance - Instructor Notes PPPESO, 2009 RECOMMENDATION: Digital Fetal Scalp Stimulation Recommended with atypical EFM Gentle digital pressure over the parietal bones Max 15 seconds between contractions and between decels Acceleration usually = pH > ( Murray, 2007) When a  acceleratory response is absent: fetal scalp blood sampling where available (IIB) when unable to perform fetal scalp sampling, consider prompt delivery (IIIC) 62 © PPPESO 2009 Copyright PPPESO, 2009 62

63 Intrauterine Resuscitation
