Quantification of physical stress experienced by obstetrics and gynecology sonographers: A comparative study of two ultrasound devices

Background: Induction of labor is a common procedure in obstetrics. It is usually performed when risk of continuing a pregnancy is more than benefit of delivery. Cervical ripening has got a close relationship with the success rate of delivery. Although there are many methods for cervical ripening, in this study Foley’s catheter and intra-cervical PGE2 gel are compared for labor induction and cervical ripening.Methods: This is a prospective randomized comparative study, undertaken in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur. 70 cases in which labor was induced with Foley’s catheter were compared to other 70 cases who were induced with PGE2 gel.Results: The commonest indication for induction in Foley’s and PGE2 gel group was pregnancy induced hypertension. There was significant increase in the post induction Bishop’s score in both the groups. The induction to delivery interval was significantly lower in Foley’s group as compared to PGE2 group (p<0.0001). Neonatal outcomes were comparable in both groups. Incidence of side effects were more in PGE2 group.Conclusions: Foley’s catheter is safe and effective method for induction of labor compared to PGE2 gel with significant improvement in Bishop’s score and shorter induction delivery interval.

Background: Of the various medical methods of induction, induction with oxytocin and prostaglandins remain the most popular and acceptable methods in modern obstetric practice. The present cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kamla Raja Hospital, Gwalior, mifepristone has been used through oral route for induction of labor. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effect of oral mifepristone for induction of labor, to record the outcome of labor and the incidence of operative interference, and to see any adverse effects on mother and/or neonate with its use, to compare its effect with other medical method of labor induction.Methods: The present study is a prospective comparative study carried out in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, G. R. Medical College and Kamla Raja Hospital, Gwalior (M.P.), from May 2009 to June 2010. Total number of patients involved in the study is 119, study group comprised of 69 patients in which oral mifepristone (200mg) was given on day 1 and day 2 of a four-day observation period. The control group comprised of 50 patients induced with intravenous oxytocin group.Results: On overall assessment of the efficacy of labour induction with oral mifepristone as compared to intravenous (I/V) oxytocin, we found that there was no significant difference in the mode of delivery (vaginal and caesarean section) and Apgar score.Conclusions: The induction of active labour induction, induction to delivery interval is higher in mifepristone group as compared to oxytocin group. However, the drug resulted in higher rates of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC) with no grave maternal and fetal outcomes, so thus aspect of oral mifepristone is of great consideration and requires further research.

Prospective Comparative Study

Background: Perineal pain is the most common complaint after episiotomy. For more than 70 years researchers have been suggesting that ‘continuous non-locking suture techniques’ for repair of the vagina, perineal muscle and skin are associated with less perineal pain than ‘traditional interrupted methods’. The objective of the present study was to compare the two techniques of episiotomy closure in patients after vaginal delivery with mediolateral episiotomy.Methods: This study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Asian Institute of medical sciences, Faridabad. The duration of study was from July 2017 to August 2017. Total 50 patients were selected and randomly divided in two groups. This was a prospective comparative study between continuous and interrupted suturing used for episiotomy repair.Results: Continuous suturing technique requires lesser number of suture material, needs lesser time and is associated with lesser pain experience.Conclusions: It was concluded from the present study that continuous suturing technique is more economical and causes lesser morbidity than the interrupted suturing technique.

Fibroids are common benign tumours arising in the uterus.Myomectomy is the surgical treatment of choice forwomenwith symptomatic fibroids who prefer or want uterine conservation. Myomectomy can be performed by laparoscopy or open myomectomy. Aim of study is to determine the benefits and harms of laparoscopic myomectomy compared with open myomectomy.It is a comparative study conductedover 1 year in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, GMC ,Akola,Maharashtra . 50 patients were included in study who were having uterine fibroid. Subjects were explained about surgery as treatment.30 subject undergone Laproscopic myomectomy and 20 subjects undergone open myomectomy.The clinical data of patients who underwent OM and LM was analyzed. The data recorded comprised patientdemographic information and clinical characteristics includingage, weight, type, and size of myoma and myomectomyindications; and perioperative data including estimation ofblood loss, duration of surgery, complications, and lengthof hospital stay. Keywords: Laproscopic myomectomy (LM), open myomectomy(OM), uterine fibroid.
