Abstract Background Instrumental deliveries are an unavoidable part of obstetric practice. Dedicated training is needed for each instrument. To identify when a trainee resident can be entrusted with instrumental deliveries by Suzor forceps by studying obstetric anal sphincter injuries. Methods A French retrospective observational study of obstetric anal sphincter injuries due to Suzor forceps deliveries performed by trainee residents was conducted from November 2008 to November 2016 at Limoges University Hospital. Perineal lesion risk factors were studied. Sequential use of a vacuum extractor and then forceps was also analyzed. Results Twenty-one residents performed 1530 instrumental deliveries, which included 1164 (76.1%) using forceps and 89 (5.8%) with sequential use of a vacuum extractor and then forceps. Third and fourth degree perineal tears were diagnosed in 82 patients (6.5%). Residents caused fewer obstetric anal sphincter injuries after 23.82 (+/− 0.8) deliveries by forceps (p = 0.0041), or after 2.36 (+/− 0.7) semesters of obstetrical experience (p = 0.0007). No obese patient (body mass index> 30) presented obstetric anal sphincter injuries (p = 0.0013). There were significantly fewer obstetric anal sphincter injuries after performance of episiotomy (p <  0.0001), and more lesions in the case of the occipito-sacral position (p = 0.028). Analysis of sequential instrumentation did not find any additional associated risk. Conclusion Training in the use of Suzor forceps requires extended mentoring in order to reduce obstetric anal sphincter injuries. A stable level of competence was found after the execution of at least 24 forceps deliveries or after 3 semesters (18 months) of obstetrical experience.

Candida Auris

Abstract Candida auris has emerged as a nosocomial multi-drug resistant pathogen. This study aimed to compare the risk factors and outcomes of C. auris candidemia patients with non-C. auris candidemia, at a single center in Pakistan. A retrospective study compared 38 C. auris with 101 non-C. auris (36 C. albicans, 38 C. tropicalis, and 27 C. parapsilosis) candidemia patients between September 2014 and March 2017 at the Aga Khan University Hospital, Pakistan. Demographics, clinical history, management and outcomes were studied. Prior history of surgery (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 4.9, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.4–17.5), antifungals exposure (aOR 38.3, 95% CI: 4.1–356) and prior MDR bacteria isolation (aOR 5.09, 95% CI: 1.6–15.9) were associated with C. auris candidemia. On survival analysis both groups of patients had similar outcome in terms of mortality (62.6% vs. 52.54%, hazard ratio [HR] 1.45, 95% CI: 0.84–2.4, P-value = .17) and microbiological failure rates (42.3% vs. 32.2%, HR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.35–1.2, P-value = .17) however, C. auris patients had a higher mean hospital stay (36.32 days vs. 14.8 days, P-value = &lt;.001) and higher &gt;15-day in-hospital stay from positive culture (HR 2.68, 95% CI: 1.1–6.3, P-value = .025). Antifungal susceptibility was different, with C. auris more often resistant to voriconazole (29.6% vs. 0%) and amphotericin (3.7 vs. 0%); though no echinocandin resistance was detected in either group. As opposed to other Candida species, C. auris candidemia occurred after nosocomial exposure, and its source was most commonly an indwelling line. Although these patients had a higher in-hospital stay, but there was no excess mortality when compared to other Candida species.

Background: Uterine rupture (UR)is one of the most serious obstetrical emergencies necessitating prompt diagnosis and management, as it en-dangers the maternal and fetal life. Uterine rupture (scarred/ unscarred) may occur at any stage of pregnancy. In developed countries, with good antenatal care and good supervision during labour, (UR) has become rare except by dehiscence of a caesarean scar. The objective of present study was to find out risk factors, management, related complications and associated maternal and fetal outcomes with rupture uterus.Methods: A retrospective study, data files and the case notes was retrieved from the medical records department at Aswan university hospital from January 1 2013 to December 31 2013 in the form of data relating to the age, parity, gestational age, method of termination, perinatal outcomes, and related maternal complications.Results: There were 4284 deliveries during the period under review among them 5 cases of uterine rupture. Thus, the incidence of uterine rupture was 1.1/1000 deliveries.3 cases (60%) of them had no antenatal care at any hospital or primary care center. The risk factors in these cases are in majority 4 (80%) of cases uterine rupture occurred in women with previous scar, 1case (20%) of cases uterine rupture occurred in women with none scarred uterus. As regard surgical management 3 cases (60%) managed by hysterectomy and 2cases (40%) managed by repair. As regard maternal and fetal outcome all women required blood transfusion. Associated bladder rupture was repaired in two cases (40%). After excluding fetal wastage before the age of viability, perinatal mortality was 100% (5/5).Conclusions: Present retrospective analytical study has concluded that rupture uterus is a life-threatening complication. Proper antenatal and intrapartum care, identification of high risk factors, promotion of skilled attendance at birth and institutional delivery are key factors in reduction and early diagnosis.
