There is conflicting evidence with regard to the optimal mode and timing of delivery in such women and babies in order to minimise the possible risks. Pre‐delivery patient–clinician discussion on management and mode of delivery in LGA babies can be challenging due to the lack of conclusive evidence and guidance for both screening and interventions, but it is crucial in order to facilitate information sharing, counselling and collaborative decision making. Decision‐making tools could help to facilitate these discussions and ensure ‘material risks’ are discussed. Learning objectives To be aware of the limitations of available methods for screening for LGA fetuses, specifically symphyseal fundal height and ultrasound estimation of fetal weight. To understand the lack of robust evidence for obstetric interventions, which makes it difficult to convey clear information in a practical and useful way. To consider the use of decision‐making tools (such as BRAIN and iDECIDE), which can provide a framework for shared decision making, particularly when the evidence is limited or conflicting. These tools offer a structure which empowers patients to weigh up information as well as assist clinicians in determining what is considered ‘material risk’ when counselling in line with the Montgomery ruling. Ethical issues The Montgomery ruling advises that doctors must discuss any ‘material risks’ involved in a proposed treatment and offer other reasonable alternatives. Clinicians, therefore, have a duty to be transparent about the lack of strong evidence to recommend one mode of birth over another but at the same time acknowledge that individual preference and perceptions need to be explored to enable personalised decision making.","PeriodicalId":51862,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrician & Gynaecologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136007974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ECMO has been used to support pregnant and postpartum women and people presenting with several cardiac and respiratory pathologies; it has gained wider recognition among the obstetric community owing to the COVID‐19 pandemic. It is important for clinicians to understand the difference between veno‐venous and veno‐arterial ECMO and the different purposes of these configurations. It is important to consider such dilemmas in the provision of care as when to deliver and monitoring the fetus. Management of pregnant women on ECMO is complex and requires MDT discussions, repeated regularly when the clinical situation, including when gestation crosses stages of viability, changes. Learning objectives To learn about the different types, aim and risks of ECMO. To understand the benefit and risks of delivery of the fetus. To be aware of the management of critically ill antenatal and post‐partum patients being considered for ECMO or whilst receiving ECMO support.","PeriodicalId":51862,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrician & Gynaecologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136010022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A variety of progestogens are used in hormone replacement therapy (HRT), with different advantages and disadvantages and routes of administration. Progestogenic side effects may be mild but can be debilitating and lead to the discontinuation of HRT, so progestogens should be tailored to the individual woman. Combined HRT containing estrogen and progestogens may be associated with a small increase in the absolute risk of breast cancer, which is not seen in women taking estrogen alone. However, this risk is small, particularly when compared with other modifiable lifestyle risk factors. The addition of certain progestogens to estrogen in the long term may be associated with an increased risk of heart disease, breast cancer and dementia. Learning objectives To understand relative advantages and disadvantages of the different progestogens, regimens and routes of administration. To be aware of current evidence for types, dose and routes of administration of different progestogens. To be able to prescribe progestogens safely in terms of side effect and risk profiles that are individualised to the patient. Ethical issues Well‐informed counselling including absolute, individualised risks for women considering HRT with a progestogenic component is essential to allow patients to make well‐informed choices.","PeriodicalId":51862,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrician & Gynaecologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136007786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So Jim, can I just ask you, why did you choose O&G? The other mistake, much later in life, was when I gave someone too good a reference, and I got seriously into trouble for that. I guess the lesson was ‘be very careful’. But there had been little signs, like my secretary's raised eyebrows when I dictated the reference, which I should have cottoned onto. So there are tough experiences, but I realised from both of those that my colleagues were not as hard on me as I was on myself. You've got to allow yourself to be supported. But it was not what Professors were ‘supposed to do’. There was more and more of the atmosphere that a Professor was supposed to build up a big research portfolio and bring lots of money into the department. But when I look back, it was a more worthwhile thing to do.","PeriodicalId":51862,"journal":{"name":"Obstetrician & Gynaecologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136007963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
