Dear colleagues,
We're delighted to announce that we’ve just completed 11 videos for skilled birth attendants. The videos, featuring skills around labor and birth, are all live-action with some animation where needed to explain actions that are not visible. The footage was shot in maternities in Nepal, Indonesia, Rwanda, and Ghana.
Filming in developing world facilities makes the videos relevant and relatable to our main audience of skilled birth attendants in low-resource settings. As with all our videos, we make a special effort to guide trainees step-by-step through a practice, using close-ups and angles that teach more effectively than a live demonstration. We include clinical pearls where possible.
There are five videos on repairing tears after birth, including films on prevention and evaluation. Six of the videos cover basic midwifery skills.
The videos on genital tears after birth are:
Preventing Tears
Evaluating Tears
Basic Features of Suturing
Repairing a Perineal Tear
Repairing a Labial Tear
The videos on basic midwifery skills include:
Inserting a Urinary Catheter
Emergency Episiotomy
Inserting an IV
Giving IV Fluids
Taking a Blood Pressure
Listening to the Baby's Heart During Labor
The videos are available on our website ( https://globalhealthmedia.org/videos/childbirth) and are narrated in English, French and Spanish. Please let us know if you would like to collaborate with us to narrate the videos in your local language.
Thanks and kind regards,
Deb
