Abstract

Objective

To examine current Complex Family Planning (CFP) fellows’ experience with induction of fetal asystole.

Study Design

Cross-sectional web-based survey of trainees enrolled in United States accredited CFP fellowships.

Results

Of the 52/66 (79%) of fellows who responded, 36/52 (69%) plan to provide induction of fetal asystole post-fellowship. Thirty-six (69%) received training, most commonly by digoxin (31/52, 60%) transabdominal (31/31, 100%) intrafetal (26/31, 83%) injections. Twenty-four (46%) predicted competence upon graduation.

Conclusions

More CFP fellows planned to practice induction of fetal asystole in their future practice than the fewer than half of respondents who predicted they will be able to independently practice this skill upon graduation.

Implications

CFP fellowship programs can expand availability and comprehensiveness of training to support graduates in independent practice of induction of fetal asystole.

在复杂的计划生育研究中心进行注射诱导胎儿无搏停止的培训。

目的：探讨当前复杂计划生育（CFP）研究员诱导胎儿无搏停止的经验。研究设计：对美国注册的CFP学员进行横断面网络调查。结果：在52/66（79%）的应答者中，36/52（69%）计划在研究结束后提供胎儿无搏停止诱导。36例（69%）接受了培训，最常见的是地高辛（31/ 52,60%）经腹（31/ 31,100%）胎内（26/ 31,83%）注射。24人（46%）预测毕业后的能力。结论：CFP奖学金项目可以扩大培训的可获得性和全面性，以支持毕业生在胎儿无搏停止诱导的独立实践。
