随着设备成本的降低，在一些资源匮乏的环境中提供超声现在是可行的。产科超声筛查可以识别潜在的妊娠并发症，并使妇女能够在适当的护理水平下计划分娩。在本文中，我们描述了一个为期十天的课程，其中包括质量保证活动，以培训ultrasound-naïve中级卫生设施的非医师保健专业人员进行产科超声筛查。接受培训的人员将参加一项分组随机对照试验，以评估产科超声筛查对孕产妇和新生儿结局的影响。
With decreased equipment cost, provision of ultrasound is now feasible in some low resource settings. Screening obstetric ultrasound may identify potential pregnancy complications and with this knowledge, allow women to plan to deliver at the appropriate level of care. In this paper we describe a ten-day course with quality assurance activities to train ultrasound-naïve non-physician healthcare professionals at mid-level health facilities to perform screening obstetric ultrasound. Those trained will participate in a cluster-randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of screening obstetric ultrasound on maternal and newborn outcomes.
