A SET OF
9 CASE PRESENTATIONS (MP3 CD)
AND A BOOKLET
BY
DR. MRS. SWATI VAIDYA
MBBS, MD (GYN)
PUBLISHED BY :
I feel very happy to present the Obstetrics and Gynaecology set of Cassette-Clinics to the
students of 3rd M.B.B.S. and M.D. or D.G.O.
‘Presenting a case’ is an art, which every student must master and Cassette-Clinics is the
easiest way of learning it.
Vivas are short and it is not possible to go into the depth of the subject within the few
available minutes. So the examiner may test your knowledge in various directions to find
out what you don't know. Also, the discussion need not remain confined to the case under
study, eg. In a case of Twins, if you fumble during General Examination, examiner may
interrupt you and ask details of anemia! So you must be well prepared for an uninterrupted
presentation, as well as for the unexpected interruption.
I hope that these clinics will be very helpful to the students suffering from the syndrome of
"I know it but I can't say it" and to the students who are in search of better and perfect
answers.
These should also interest the rural practitioners, who are often expected to conduct
antenatal checkups and deliveries.
I sincerely thank all my Professors and Teachers of Government Medical College, Miraj
who have enriched me with this knowledge, particularly Dr. S.T. Watve, Dr. S.P. Dani, Dr.
Mrs. A.J. Jadhav and Dr. Mrs. P.R. Naphade.
I also thank my father-in-law Dr. M.K. Vaidya and my mother-in-law Late Mrs. V.M.
Vaidya, whose constant encouragement has helped me to complete my studies for M.D.
and prepare these cassettes. And of course, I must thank my husband, Dr. Ghanashyam,
the pioneer of Cassette-Clinics in India, who has infused this idea into my mind and
guided me all along.
CASE NO. 1
The examination of an Obstetric case involves the detailed examination of the pregnant woman
with relevant systemic examination depending on the symptoms.
2. Medical Part : which will depend upon the complications present during the pregnancy.
1. The Introduction :
In addition to the standard contents i.e. age, name, occupation, financial status and address of the
patient, you should also state the present obstetric status of the patient as number of Gravida and
period of amenorrhoea.
Eg. 25 years old second Gravida, Padma Patil, a housewife from Sangli, from low socio-economic
class, comes with 8 ½ months amenorrhoea for antenatal check up.
2. Complaints:
Now state the complaints of the patient in chronological order, followed by history of relevant
symptoms. Ask for the expected symptoms of pregnancy like morning sickness in 1st trimester,
quickening after 20 weeks, or edema in third trimester. A pregnant patient may also come without
any complaint – for a routine Antenatal checkup.
3. Menstrual History:
1. Age of Menarche.
3. Date of L.M.P.
First mention the period of married life. Then state the present obstetrical status by GPLA formula.
Followed by short description of each pregnancy, labour and its outcome, particularly
complications like PIH and interference like forceps.
If there was a Caesarian Section, ask the details of indication for Caesarian – Elective or
Emergency, Lower Segment or Upper segment, and postoperative infection.
eg. Married 6 years back. She is Gravida 3, Para 2, Living children 2, No abortion i.e. G3 P2 L2
A0.
Gravida 1 was a full term normal delivery in hospital, 4½ years, old live female child. No history
of antenatal intrapartum and postpartum complications. She had received 2 doses of Tetanus
Toxoid.
Gravida 2 was a full term normal delivery at home, not conducted by medical Practitioner.
5. Past History :
Ask history of Diabetes, Hypertension, Rheumatic fever, Heart disease and any other major
medical illness.
6. Family History :
7. Personal History :
Ask about sleep, appetite, bladder and bowel habits, and addictions to smoking or drinking. Ask
also about the mental state and problems in family life.
The General Examination in an obstetric case should always start with height and weight of the
patient. Special stress should be given on 4 points - Pulse, Blood Pressure (in 15° lateral tilt if
pregnancy is beyond 28 weeks), Pallor and Edema.
If B.P. is on higher side or PIH is suspected, calculate Mean Arterial Pressure and perform roll over
test.
Examine the breasts for normal changes in pregnancy like engorgement, striae, deeply pigmented
primary areolae, secondary areolae and Montgomery's tubercles.
A routine examination of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems should be carried out, with
detailed examination if there is a suggestion of any abnormality from history or examination.
No pallor, minimal pitting edema over the ankles, No cyanosis, clubbing or lymphadenopathy.
Breasts are engorged, with deeply pigmented primary and secondary areolae, and Montgomery's
tubercles.
Nipples are normal, no cracks.
On Systemic Examination,
R.S. is normal, no extra sounds.
Heart sounds are normal, no murmur.
On Inspection,
Measurements :
1. Palpate the height of the uterus and note whether it corresponds to the period of amenorrhoea or
not.
2. Measure the height of uterus from the upper border of symphysis pubis in cms. and calculate the
estimated fetal age and weight by McDonald's formula.
eg. On inspection, the abdomen is uniformly distended. Linea Nigra and Striae Gravidarum are
seen.
Measurements: Fundal height corresponds to 32 weeks.
The height of uterus from symphysis pubis is 28 cms.
So, by McDonald's formula the gestational age is 32 weeks,
and estimated fetal weight is 2480 gms.
