Online courses topics
Diagnostics
What does a 2nd-degree perineal tear look like in real life? How about a 3rd- or 4th-degree tear? When examining a woman for birth lacerations, you need to know what you are looking for. Correct perineal repair starts with the right diagnosis.
Anesthetics
Diagnosis and repair of birth lacerations should not be painful. No woman should look back on the birth of her baby and remember the stitches as the worst bit.
Perineal Repair
80% of women have lacerations in vaginal birth, and they deserve to have their bodies back in full working order. As a doctor, midwife, or student, you help these women get the most delicate area of their bodies back, and you should have the best possible training options.
Second degree repair
2nd degree lacerations are quite common in vaginal birth. In this perinal repair course, we show you the relevant procedures for diagnosis, suturing and healing with animations and clinical video with patients.
Waterbirth
Our waterbirth course is a professional guide for midwives. Learn about the use of water for pain relief and birth and get lots of inspiration and useful tips for your practice.
Wound healing
What does normal healing of birth lacerations look like? Which factors can delay or complicate healing? How much pain is to be expected in the days and weeks postpartum? Can the woman benefit from early secondary repair in case of suture breakdown or initial misdiagnosis?
Surgical skills
Suturing is a clinical skill, and it takes time and deliberate practice to learn and master. Instrument handling and knot-tying techniques should be perfected while training with medical models. Patients are for treatment – not for practice.
Interrupted stitches
Interrupted stitches are great for precision work and for the repair of complicated lacerations
