Biomarkers for Placental Abnormality
(2005)
McCarthy, Cathal
Abstract:
Obstetrical complications including recurrent miscarriage, pre-eclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) affect 1%-5% of pregnant women (Younis and Samueloff 2003). Dysfunctional trophoblasts, impaired development of spiral arteries, imbalance in systems controlling the dilation and contraction of spiral arteries, placental fibrin clots and intervillous thrombosis are all possible factors that can result in an insufficient placental circulation. The combination of the hypercoagulable state of pregnancy and presence of genetic thrombophilic markets has the potential to induce placental thrombosis and cause placental insufficiency with subsequent obstetrical complications. The initial part of the research work involved examining the relationship between four common genetic risk factors for thrombosis in a recurrent miscarriage cohort using multiplex ARMS PCR. The result of phenotypic assays (activated protein C resistance, protein C levels, protein S levels, FVIII levels) f...

Abstract:
This report serves to outline the clinical activity of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at University College Hospital Galway for the year 2002. Regular audit of clinical activity, including annual assessment of the overall statistics, has been in place for many years. However, this is the first time that a report of this nature has been compiled outlining all of the details to this extent I consider it important for our Department that the Annual Report is put on record for assessment of the results and achievements. In the year 2002, the number of deliveries at University College Hospital Galway was the highest for twenty years. In addition, there was a significant increase in gynaecological workload.

Enhanced e-learning and simulation for obstetrics education
(2016)
Coffey, Donnchadh
Abstract:
Background: In medicine, new media technologies have been used in recent years to simulate situations and techniques that may not be common enough for students to experience in reality or may not be visible to the naked eye. Especially in areas of medicine focusing on important surgeries or procedures, these simulated designs could train students and ultimately prevent possible risk or morbidity. Aims: The aim of this thesis was to develop a multipurpose hybrid educational resource based on a physical/software driven simulator platform enabling the use of multimedia properties like 3D and video to enhance the educational training of obstetrics students through haptic interactions. All of this content was enabled by the learning preferences of the obstetric students involved. Method: The learning resource was developed using a combination of student learning preference, online learning content, 3D, video, human patient simulations and sensor technology interaction. These mediums were...

Exploring Trends in the Rate of Caesarean Section in Ireland 1999-2007
(2011)
Brick, Aoife; Layte, Richard
Abstract:
This paper explores levels and trends in the prevalence of Caesarean section delivery in Ireland between 1999 and 2007. Over this period the Caesarean section rate for singleton births in Ireland increased by over one quarter. Using data from the Irish National Perinatal Reporting System and the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry scheme we examine the contribution of maternal, delivery and clinical characteristics to the rise in the Caesarean section rate over the period. Analyses show small increases in the clinical indicators of risk for Caesarean section driven by significant change in maternal characteristics (age of mothers and number of previous deliveries) and possible changes in obstetric practice. Grouped logit models of risk of Caesarean by hospital and time period account for 55 per cent of the variation in the growth trend across hospitals. We discuss the possible contribution of changes in obstetric practice.

Abstract:
There were 1,058 babies (weight 500mgs.+) born In the hospital in 1994 . This is an increase of twenty (1.9%), compared to last year. This was due to an increase of· 17 (5.7%) primagravidae. and 3 multigravidae (0.4%) There were seven babies born in Dublin after their mothers (six - one multiple pregnancy) were transferred from Portlaoise (0.7% of total births). One of these was delivered by caesarean action . There were nine perinatal deaths this year (two with lethal congenital malformations). The perinatal mortality w&s 8.5 per 1,000 births ( for both babies of 1,OOOgms and 500gms weight). The cerebral convulsion rate was 0.9 per 1,000 births (one case). There were 30 babies classified 88 ill (3.7%), seven (0.7) of whom were transferred to Dublin for specialist management. The number of caesareans was 111 (10.5),46 (14.6) in primagravidae and 65 (8.8)in multigravidae. There were 99 (9.5)inductions .

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: A personal learning plan (PLP) is an approach to assist medical students maximise their learning experience within clinical rotations. The aim of this study was to investigate whether medical students who created a PLP supported by an induction meeting had an improved academic performance within an undergraduate clinical rotation. METHODS: A cluster randomised controlled study was conducted over a full academic year (2012/13). The intervention was the creation of a PLP by medical students supported by an individual 'one-to-one' induction meeting between each student and a faculty member. Randomisation was by unit of rotation in which students completed the program. There were 2 clusters in the intervention group (n = 71 students) and 2 clusters in the control group (n = 72 students). Primary outcome was the overall examination score. Secondary outcomes were student attendance and student evaluation. RESULTS: There was no difference in overall examinatio...

Irish Maternity Indicator System national report 2014
(2016)
HSE Clinical Programme in Obstetrics and Gynaecology
Abstract:
Assessment of quality of care in maternity services requires formal systems of measurement and regular review of activities in hospitals, as well as analysis and interpretation of the findings. The HSE Clinical Programme in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (CPOG) developed the Irish Maternity Indicator System in 2014 as a new system of measuring and interpreting activities in maternity services. The objective of the IMIS is to bring consistency to the measurement and interpretation of maternity services nationally: a reliable system of measurement and interpretation can highlight cases for investigation and signal potential problems. This report aims to demonstrate the benefits of the IMIS for clinicians and senior managers.

Methods of disseminating and translating research findings to health care professionals and other stakeholders
(2019)
Conway, Aislinn
Abstract:
There are many barriers to the uptake of research findings including information overload, a lack of health literacy skills, a lack of access to research resources. Knowledge translation and dissemination and implementation research attempt to addresses the gap between evidence and decision-making, policy-making or practice. Derivative summarisation products and multi-component programmes can be used as tools in the knowledge translation process. My objectives were to: • assess studies of the effects of ‘Summary of findings’ (SoF) tables for communicating key findings of systematic reviews; • plan, design and implement an evidence-informed, theory-driven initiative for health care professionals, called Evidence Rounds, which disseminates evidence, and promotes implementation and evidence-informed practice; • describe the processes, mechanisms and contextual factors involved in the implementation of Evidence Rounds; • report follow up data regarding the impact of Evidence Rounds ...

MURPHY, DEIRDRE
Abstract:
Background: Caesarean section is one of the most commonly performed major operations in women throughout the world. Rates are escalating, with studies from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, China and the Republic of Ireland reporting rates between 20% and 25%. Operative morbidity includes haemorrhage, anaemia, blood transfusion and in severe cases, maternal death. The value of routine oxytocics in the third stage of vaginal birth has been well established and it has been assumed that these benefits apply to caesarean delivery as well. A slow bolus dose of oxytocin is recommended following delivery of the baby at caesarean section. Some clinicians use an additional infusion of oxytocin for a further period following the procedure. Intravenous oxytocin has a very short half-life (4?10 minutes) therefore the potential advantage of an oxytocin infusion is that it maintains uterine contractility throughout the surgical procedure and immediate postpartum period, when most...

Deane, Richard P; Joyce, Pauline; Murphy, Deirdre J
Abstract:
Team Objective Structured Bedside Assessment (TOSBA) is a learning approach in which a team of medical students undertake a set of structured clinical tasks with real patients in order to reach a diagnosis and formulate a management plan and receive immediate feedback on their performance from a facilitator. TOSBA was introduced as formative assessment to an 8-week undergraduate teaching programme in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (O&G) in 2013/14. Each student completed 5 TOSBA sessions during the rotation. The aim of the study was to evaluate TOSBA as a teaching method to provide formative assessment for medical students during their clinical rotation. The research questions were: Does TOSBA improve clinical, communication and/or reasoning skills? Does TOSBA provide quality feedback?
