21. Task-shifting of major surgery to midlevel providers of health care in Mozambique and Tanzania : a solution to the crisis in human resources to enhance maternal and neonatal survival
Sammanfattning : Background: Task-shifting, using non-physician clinicians (NPCs) to perform major surgery in obstetric emergencies is common, though still controversial, in Africa to overcome the crisis of human resources for health. Aim: To describe the extent to which NPCs in Mozambique and Tanzania contribute to surgical skills to enhance maternal survival. LÄS MER
22. Improving the quality of caesarean section in a low-resource setting : An intervention by criteria-based audit at a tertiary hospital, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Sammanfattning : A sharp increase in caesarean section (CS) rates at the Muhimbili National Referral Hospital (MNH) – a tertiary referral hospital in Tanzania – by 50% in 2000–2011, was associated with concomitant increase in maternal complications and deaths and inconsistent improvement in newborn outcomes. The aims of this thesis were to explore care providers’ in-depth perspective of the reasons for these high rates of CS, and to evaluate and improve standards of care for the most common indica-tions of CS, obstructed labour and fetal distress, which are also major causes of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.

The objective was also to identify possible risk factors for adverse outcome for the mother, fetus and the newborn. LÄS MER
25. Lactate as an early marker of intrapartum fetal hypoxia
Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiotocography (CTG) is the main method for intrapartum fetal surveillance in many countries. The method has a high sensitivity, but a poor specificity, which leads to an increased rate of interventions compared with auscultation. LÄS MER
