Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Summary

An obstetric flying squad effectively manages emergencies in private urban practice, preventing maternal deaths and delays in care. This service fosters collaboration between public and private healthcare sectors.

Area of Science:

Obstetrics and Gynecology
Emergency Medicine
Public Health

Background:

The obstetric flying squad, established in 1933, aims to manage obstetric emergencies in domiciliary settings.
Historically, concerns existed regarding potential treatment delays associated with flying squad interventions.
The integration of such services in urban private practice settings required evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the efficacy and safety of an obstetric flying squad in an urban private practice setting.
To evaluate the impact of the service on emergency obstetric care delivery.
To examine the potential for inter-sectoral collaboration in obstetric emergency management.

Main Methods:

Implementation of an obstetric flying squad for private urban obstetric emergencies.
