We do exams on labouring patients with intact membranes. we recieve
extensive traing in this. We call for orders for ruptured membranes, to
weigh risks and benefits. We will defer the exam if labour is ireegular or
exam has been conducted within 30 minutes by an experienced provider.

Some questions for the list,

How many services perform pelvic exams to assess dilation prior to
accepting/loading a patient in active labour? Who on the team does the exam?
Do you rely on the exam performed by the sending facility? How 'old' can it
be? If your crews perform exams, how is proficiency/accuracy assessed?
Currency maintained? Initial training conducted?

Off list replies are fine, Thanks for your time.
