Summary

Vaginal exams are used routinely in labor to assess cervical dilation and position of the baby (facing anterior, facing to the right or left side, facing towards maternal spine). This technique has a widely variable accuracy rate (24.0-85.6%). Ultrasound has been used to help confirm or correct the vaginal assessment by obstetricians, but has not been used to assess the utility of immediate feedback to improve the accuracy of vaginal assessment by physicians in training. The investigators plan to use ultrasound assessment to determine if this education is effective in increasing accuracy in the resident population.
