Objective:
To examine current Complex Family Planning (CFP) fellows' experience with induction of fetal asystole.
Study Design:
Cross-sectional web-based survey of trainees enrolled in United States accredited CFP fellowships.
Results:
Of the 52/66 (79%) of fellows who responded, 36/52 (69%) plan to provide induction of fetal asystole post-fellowship. Thirty-six (69%) received training, most commonly by digoxin (31/52, 60%) transabdominal (31/31, 100%) intrafetal (26/31, 83%) injections. Twenty-four (46%) predicted competence upon graduation.
Conclusions:
More CFP fellows planned to practice induction of fetal asystole in their future practice than the fewer than half of respondents who predicted they will be able to independently practice this skill upon graduation.
Implications:
CFP fellowship programs can expand availability and comprehensiveness of training to support graduates in independent practice of induction of fetal asystole.
