New UOG Journal videoclip demonstrating artificial intelligence assessing the angle of progression during the second stage of labor and aiding with the clinical decision-making process.

The December issue of Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology includes an observational cohort study assessing the neurodevelopmental outcomes of uncomplicated monochorionic diamniotic twins, a systematic review evaluating the use of twin vs singleton growth charts for identifying small-for-gestational-age fetuses at risk of adverse neonatal outcomes, a study investigating the performance of non-invasive prenatal testing in vanishing-twin and multiple pregnancies, and a prospective cohort study examining the prevalence of LAM avulsion after forceps-assisted and vacuum-assisted deliveries.

This document provides recommendations regarding the appropriate use of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in obstetrics and gynecology (Ob/Gyn) in various clinical scenarios encountered by different healthcare professionals (e.g. emergency physicians, obstetrician-gynecologists, midwives, residents and family physicians). The target population consists of patients with Ob/Gyn complications or those needing an interventional procedure for which an immediate bedside sonographic evaluation is helpful.

Read the new ISUOG Practice Guidelines on the use of point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) in obstetrics and gynecology in various clinical scenarios that may be encountered by different healthcare professionals.
