Dear all I hate to use the word 'delivery', but it sort of conveys the intent of what I am after! I know there was a discussion earlier this year about what people include in the trays/bundles opened at the time of birth. I recall that a number of people described what they include and that there was a general discussion about not including episiotomy scissors etc. However, now that our hospital is in the process of changing their content, I just wondered if anyone had any good references about what should be included and why. Have there been any research/audits on reducing episiotomy rates for example if scissors are not included on the trolley? I have got a copy of the recent article which describes the swabbing and draping ritual and how that was altered with audit and altering the content of the trays (done at King George I think), but was wondering if there was anything else that you know of out there?
Any information greatly appreciated. Thanks Bec Clinical Learning Coordinators Trevor Cresp (pager 4287) Rebecca Smith (pager 4304) Michelle Unetta (pager 4428) -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics. Visit <http://www.acegraphics.com.au> to subscribe or unsubscribe.
