Ultrasound by midwives in the postpartum period: feasibility, reproducibility and midwives’ perspectives by S. Coremans, J. Muys, J. De Winter, H. De Raedemaecker, Y. Jacquemyn

“…Materials and Methods: A quantitative, monocentric cross-sectional study used questionnaires to evaluate the viewpoint of the midwife and the mother; repeat transabdominal ultrasound measurements were made of uterine length, width, height, and endometrial thickness by midwives, junior gynaecology trainees, and experienced gynaecologic ultrasonographers, 24 to 48 hours after delivery; Bland-Altman plotting assessed interand intra-observer variability. Results: Fifty-five percent of midwives considered implementation of ultrasound in postpartum care as feasible; time restrictions were seen as an obstacle by 60%, and 97% considered themselves after training as capable to perform postpartum ultrasound autonomously. …”
