OSCE Questions by Jane Stephenson

Medication questions

- Do we need to name the route of administration for any of the medications in the PPH or Eclampsia scenarios?
- Do we need to say "40IU in 500ml normal saline at 125ml/hr" for PPH or could we just say "an oxytocic drug infusion"?
- Do we need to name the 3 hypertensives in PPH (labetalol, nifedipine, hydralazine)?

You need to demonstrate knowledge of the drugs that would be used in a given an emergency (oxytocic drug would be acceptable but naming the type is better - syntocinon, syntometrine etc), what they would be used for, route of administration. If you are not 100% sure of dosages then state where you would find this information (proforma, guidelines etc). Do not guess at dosages as this is unsafe practice.

we are going to prep EARLY as possible

we are not going to sleep from xmas to OSCE!!

reflect on previous placement experiences

attend as many practicals (2hrs sessions)

attend all lessons!

I have noticed there is a pinard present on the osce station set up pictures. Will this be the case on the day and will it have to be demonstrated? as I thought we only had to say we would be doing continuous monitoring. Would I have to say continuous monitoring through either CTG, sonicaid or pinard? thank you

axial traction

do we have to talk about applying axial traction in shoulder dys to help diagnose one- or do we just go from recognising its one by looking for the signs and go straight to mcroberts
