AUGMENTATION
AUGMENTATION
Hi
Exam Technique Tip
Don’t say just rupture say rupture the membranes of a patientIt shows we are not looking at patient as a person
If I ruptured the membranes of a patient should I start Pitocin after that? People do that routinelyAugmentation of labor or ruptured membranes?
How do I enter Augmentation of Labor?
Is augmentation a good discussion for you?
How can we word it for the discussion to come up
Make sure it is not on too many cases to make your case list look repetitive
‘Surgical and/or medical augmentation’
More cryptic begging the examiner to ask “What do you mean by surgical vs. medical augmentation?”
More likely they will ask you a question about augmentation
Can do augmentation Or put AROM and Pitocin
Write surgical and medical augmentation
More cryptic intriguing for examiner reading the case list
If you write Surgical/ Medical augmentation it’s more likely to prompt the question
IN SUMMATION:
Ask yourself if you want to have a discussion on augmentation in the examMention augmentation ‘AROM and Pitocin’ or ‘surgical and/or medical augmentation’
