Hailey Auve E-Portfolio - PHYT 2050: Advanced Comfort Measures

Course Purpose and Overview

A midwife’s ability to provide support in labor is a clinical skill, that is, in fact, no less important than auscultating heart tones or reliably evaluating cervical dilation. The scientific evidence is clear: respectful, sensitive, individualized support allows normal, physiologic birth to unfold safely. Using research and the student’s own personal experiences, this course will examine practical, specific approaches and advanced techniques that promote safe and satisfying birth. The physiology of pain, research on the importance of relationship and storytelling, and research on mothers’ experiences will be explored, as will practical skills such as the use of nitrous oxide, TENS, sterile water injections, water immersion
