PREFACE
Ethiopia is one of the countries in the world with unacceptably
high maternal mortality rate. Various strategies are being
implemented to reduce this rate and improve the overall health
of women. One such strategy is ensuring the provision of
preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services to the
population by improving access and quality of services by
training competent midlevel and front line health workers.
Currently a number of higher learning institutions are involved in
the training of health officers. One of the objectives of health
officer training is producing competent professionals capable of
delivering comprehensive emergency obstetric care and
managing other common gynecologic problems.
One of the problems encountered during the training is
shortage of standardized training materials gauged to meet the
objective of the health officers training. Different training
institutions use different text materials and the emphasis given
iv
to different topics varies. The emphasis given to common
obstetric and gynecologic topics prevalent in resource poor
countries varies greatly.
The Ethiopian Public Health Training Initiative (EPHTI) has
recognized this critical problem and was involved in
development of standardized training materials (modules and
lecture notes) in different public health and clinical subjects.
This lecture note is prepared to help in standardizing the
training in different teaching institutions. It also aims to provide
a quick reference for students and is believed to initiate further
reading. This final version was designed and prepared to
address the needs of health officer training. It emphasizes
mainly on detection, diagnosis and management of emergency
obstetrics problems and common gynecologic diseases.

A. Mons Pubis
B. Labia majora
C. Labia minora
These are two thick skin folds, devoid of fat, lying on either side
within the labia majora. Anteriorly they are divided to enclose
the clitoris and unite with each other in front and behind the
clitoris to form the prepuce and frenulum respectively.
Posteriorly each labia minora fuse to form a fold of skin called
fourchette. Labia minora don not contain hair follicle. It is
homologous with the ventral aspect of the penis.

In the new WHO model urine dip stick for bacteria and protein,

only done in the first visit. Hemtocrite is only done if there are
clinical signs of anemia.
In the new WHO model, in the initial visit women are grouped
into two using the classifying form. Women with out any risk
factor are enrolled in the basic component of the new model
that needs only three visits till delivery. Women with any
identified risk factor need special care that may need frequent
visits or even referral for specialized care.

1. INTRODUCTION
Amniotic fluid invests and protects the fetus during its
intrauterine life, growth and development. Its volume has an
average value in normal pregnancy but there may be
abnormalities of this volume (excess or reduction) which
indicate the presence of an underlying problem in the fetus and
which also may result in certain complications.

The vacuum cup does not take up room in the often limited
space in the birth canal
263
Obstetrics and Gynecology
The vacuum extractor has the cup, hoses that connect the cup
to the trap bottle and the pump, trap bottle with manometer
and a pump which is either manual or electrical.. There are
various types of cups made either from metals or plastics like
silastic. The Malmstrom cup is a metallic cup of three different
sizes (40 mm. 50mm, 60mm) with narrow rim. It has a hole at
the center of the cup through which the chain passes. The
chain passes through a hose and gets attached to the metal
cross bar. Threading the chain attaching it to the metal bar
takes some time. For these reasons the Bird's modification of
the cup is developed It has a chain permanently attached to its
center on the back and a hole for the hose at the periphery of
the cup. This modification eliminates the need to thread the
chain through the hose. Later silastic cups were developed.
These are soft, easy to manipulate and vacuum is attained
more quickly.
