1. SMEC: YEAR 4 REVISION1st July 2009 A Student Insight…
2. Tonight’s timetable
3. Reproductive and Sexual Health To be discussed…
Gynaecology (5)
Obstetrics
Genito-Urinary Medicine (GUM) (1)
Breast (1)
Family planning (1)
5. Gynaecology-Speculum examination Wash hands, Introduce, Confirm patient, Consent, Exposure, Position (WICCEP)
Same principles as bimanual, with consent, chaperone, door locking and exposure
Explain purpose: TO LOOK FOR CHANGING CELLS (DO NOT MENTION CANCER)
Abdominal exam
Quick palpation for MASSES and PAIN
Speculum examination
Lubricate speculum: SIDES NOT TIP (as will interfere with interpretation of results)
Part labia with left hand (now dirty hand), and insert speculum vertically, then turn horizontally
NB: Arms of speculum can point upwards or downwards
Open speculum slowly, and visualise cervix
IF NOT VISIBLE THEN ASK PATIENT TO COUGH
Take smear Rotate around 360 degrees x 3, in clockwise direction
Shake specimen into pot vigorously
Label pot and specimen type
Remove speculum slowly, and allow to close naturally
IF PLASTIC DISPOSE OF, IF METAL SEND FOR STERILISATION
Inform patient they may get dressed, and offer them a tissue
Thank the patient and summarise
If you find a mass describe the lump (Size, Site, Consistency, Mobility, Pain)
YOU MAY BE ASKED TO DO BIMANUAL and SMEAR AS ONE STATION
6. Gynaecology-Bimanual Examination Wash hands, Introduce, Confirm patient, Consent, Exposure, Position (WICCEP)
Extra for Bimanual: Ask if the patient would like door locked for privacy, and state chaperone will be present
Explain procedure: “An examination to feel the womb and ovaries”
Inform the patient that the examination should not be painful but may be uncomfortable
Expose: Ask patient to undress from the waste down, bring heels to their bottom and let their knees drop to either side, then cover themselves with a sheet for privacy
Abdominal exam
Quick palpation for MASSES and PAIN
Bimanual exam
Inspect: Labia, Vulva (Skin changes, discharge, masses)
Lubricate two gloved fingers, and insert them into the vagina (turning 90 degrees), while palpating the abdomen with the other hand
Palpating for 1) Uterus size (use fruit size i.e Orange, Grapefruit! It is acceptable) 2) Position of uterus anteverted, retroverted
Palpate the two adnexae, by turning fingers to either side, while palpating in the iliac fossae for PAIN and MASSES
On withdrawing fingers inspect Glove for blood and discharge
Inform patient they may get dressed, and offer them a tissue
Explanation of results: when and what to expect.
Thank the patient and summarise
If you find a mass describe the lump (Size, Site, Consistency, Mobility, Pain)
8. Obstetric- History
9. Intro- Gain consent, Chaperone, Expose abdomen
Inspection- “The patients abdomen is distended, suggestive of pregnancy”
KNOW THE OTHER CAUSES OF A DISTENDED ABDOMEN
Note any scars (pfanenstiel), skin changes (linea nigra, striae), distended veins
Look for obvious foetal movements
General examination- Hands (palmar erythema), Heart (flow murmur), Breasts (fullness), Legs (oedema, varicose veins)
Palpation-
Sympyseal Fundal Height
Lie- foetal spine in relation to the long axis (the models only allow longitudinal lies!)
Presentation- cephalic or breach
Engagement- won’t be expected to estimate fifths, just is the presenting part ballotable
Estimate liquor volume (oligo/poly) they can change the volume of the liquor volume on the models
Auscultation- with pinard over anterior shoulder of foetus
Finish/Thank
EXTRAS: “I would do a BP measurement and a Urine dip”
10. Breast History/Examination
11. 2. Examination
Intro (expose chest for shortest amount of time, explain need for chaperone, and that you can lock door for privacy)
Inspection- Look for asymmetry of breasts, look for scars (lift breasts), skin changes (erythema, peau d’orange) Inspect with arms ON HIPS, BEHIND THE HEAD (for tethering)
Palpalpation- Palpate with hands behind head, in all four quadrants, start away from lump (the model has loads of lumps)
Describe lump: size, shape, border, tethering, pain Ask patient to elicit discharge from the nipple (don’t do it yourself) Axillary nodes: abduct, and lift arm feeling in all the regions
Finish- ask to carry out respiratory exam (lung mets), and spinal exam (bony mets), feel supra / infraclavicular nodes
