for obstetric carefor ultrasound imagingfor fetal monitoring

Obstetric ultrasound is the most powerful way to assess the fetus. This module teaches you how to prepare for and perform an ultrasound assessment of fetal growth and high-risk pregnancies. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator offers three clinical scenarios that you might encounter in a clinical situation. Practice the steps of the procedures online as often as you want, until you feel confident. Describe and demonstrate how to evaluate normal and abnormal findings relating to the amniotic fluid, placenta, and umbilical cord. Describe the use of Doppler in evaluating fetoplacental circulation. Give the criteria and demonstrate the testing of fetal well-being, including the biophysical profile. Describe techniques for the sonographic evaluation of high-risk pregnancies including multiple gestations. List and describe peri- and post-pregnancy maternal diseases and complications and be able to compare immune and non immune hydrops. Explain how intrauterine growth restriction is evaluated by ultrasound. Describe and recognize on images abnormalities that may occur with multiple pregnancies. Define and use related medical terminology. The SIMTICS modules are all easy to use and web-based. This means they are available at any time as long as the learner has an internet connection. No special hardware or other equipment is required, other than a computer mouse for use in the simulations. Each of the SIMTICS modules covers one specific procedure or topic in detail. Each module contains: descriptive text, which explains exactly how to perform that particular procedure including key terms and hyperlinks to references
