Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

49
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Local Anesthetics: Clinical Application as Epidural Anesthesia

411
Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

199
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...

Appendicitis-II: Diagnostic Studies and Management

64
Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Midwifery Care

Background:

  • Labor after cesarean (LAC) is a safe option for individuals with one or two prior cesarean births (CBs).
  • Vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) is recommended by major medical organizations due to reduced maternal morbidity compared to repeat CB.
  • Access to LAC remains limited in some regions due to provider hesitancy and institutional policies, particularly after multiple CBs.

Observation:

  • This clinical rounds article emphasizes the safety of LAC, even with a history of two prior CBs.
  • Shared decision-making, birth decision aids, and VBAC calculators empower individuals to make informed choices.
  • Induction of labor for LAC, when necessary, can be safely managed using transcervical balloon catheters and carefully administered oxytocin.

Findings:

  • LAC is a viable and safe alternative to repeat cesarean delivery.
  • Evidence-based methods like balloon catheters and oxytocin are effective for labor induction in LAC.
  • Successful LAC, including induction, leads to improved patient satisfaction and outcomes.

Implications:

  • Midwives play a crucial role in advocating for LAC and facilitating shared decision-making.
  • Increased access to LAC can enhance patient autonomy and align with person-centered maternity care.
  • Promoting LAC aligns with the goals of reducing unnecessary cesarean births and improving maternal health.
