What to say about emergency childbirth procedures

[edit]

Here is a link to an interesting and simple approach suggested by an Utah OB. https://healthcare.utah.edu/the-scope/shows.php?shows=0_v5v4ryah Emwhitaker (talk) 18:49, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jrvance’s Peer Review

[edit]

Lead: I really like how straight to the point it is. The language is also very easy to understand. One suggestion would be to add a parenthetical sentence like “(see signs and symptoms section below)” in the last sentence of the paragraph where it talks about birth being imminent because the reader might wonder what that looks like (especially if they are assisting a laboring woman). A couple of minor suggestions would be to add the word “a” in front of the word hospital in the second sentence and to consider deleting the second to last sentence because the sentence just before is probably enough.

Background: Again, I really appreciate how concise and understandable the language is.

Preparation: I like how thorough this section is and can imagine it being very helpful to people in this situation. A minor edit would be to delete the comma after “such as” in the last sentence of the Early Prep subsection. Also, you can delete the semicolon after “home.”

For the Late Prep subsection: - Can add a comma in second sentence after the word “labor.” - Consider editing fourth sentence to clarify/explain what “procedure” means or refers to. - Can delete the word “the” before “future baby” in the first sentence of the last paragraph in this subsection. - Can delete comma before the word “lined” in the third sentence of the last paragraph in this subsection.

Rugitlin's Peer Review

[edit]

Overall, very easy to understand language with pertinent content that can be read in quickly in an emergency situation. Appreciated the numbered/ bulleted text Good selection of articles.

Lead: Very easy to understand language and

Background: - Add citation for “Each year more than 250,000 women around the world die from…” (The figure seems a bit low)

Evaluation: - "Any other relevant medical history, allergies, drugs, recent signs of infections (fever) should be asked about.” (Delete about) - Under signs or symptoms, change “Has her water broke” to “Any gush of fluid” to continue the style of questions you would ask the patient.

Delivery of term baby in normal position: - Consider editing “The umbilical cord must be kept tight but is not pulled” to “The umbilical cord can be held taut, but must not be pulled with much force” - Consider adding a photo of what it means to "inspect for completeness" of the placenta under "Third stage of labor: the delivery of the placenta." - Add a note about saving the placenta in a bag so that the hospital can inspect it for completeness. Also consider adding note about saving sheets for hospital to examine them to better evaluate amount of bleeding

Complications: Appreciated the links to the complications instead of explaining them. Consider adding links for the retained products of conception and perineal tearing

Delivery of Breech Baby: - Section can be elaborated on about what to do in an emergency breech birth

UCSF SOM Inquiry In Action - Wikipedia Editing (haleygamboa & awalzzz)

[edit]

We think that the first paragraph could use a bit more information, meaning just summarize the important parts of the sections that would be necessary information for the reader to know immediately upon accessing the page. I think the background covers some of this information, so maybe it is not necessary to have an intro and a background section?

Other clarifying questions for the intro:

Are there risk factors that lead to emergency childbirth?

What gestation time does this normally occur?

We think the above could be important parts to touch on for the introduction if people want to know how to prevent it and need to know this information in an emergency situation.


Also,

Does delivery of the baby happen similarly to full-term childbirth?

How common are babies born in other positions? Is the risk of this happening increased with emergency childbirth?


The content is super organized and there are a lot of areas to find more information if necessary!! The language is very precise and understandable.

I would also add some non-US focused statistics on emergency childbirth, and a section of common causes of emergency childbirth. What is the distinction between emergency childbirth and preterm childbirth? Are the listed complications specific to emergency childbirth - they seem like general complications of childbirth.
