Counseling patients on mode of delivery following previous caesarean sections: Three videos
Counselling a patient regarding the options for mode of delivery when they have had a previous caesarean section can be a long, complex discussion. This can be difficult to have in a busy antenatal clinic. Our team created three short online videos to aid patients and clinicians with this conversation. The videos cover three topics: (1) trial of labour after caesarean section (TOLAC), (2) elective repeat caesarean section (ERCS) and (3) induction of labour (IOL) with a previous caesarean section. They discuss the risks and benefits of each option and offer helpful insights for patients when considering their birth options. There is a paper companion guide to the videos that goes into more detailed information for patients who have different learning styles. The handout also contains a decision aid to help patients weight their priorities to make an educated decision on what is best for them. Previously many institutions held “VBAC classes” to provide information to women but due to financial constraints and scheduling or travel barriers most have been discontinued. Having a series of online videos patients can watch allows them to go through this information at their own pace, on their own schedule and discuss any questions with their obstetrical care provided in clinic.
The videos are uploaded onto YouTube so they can be displayed on any internet connected device and utilized by patients and providers from across Canada.
You are invited to participate in a survey study which will examine knowledge of and attitudes of obstetrical care providers towards trial of labour after caesarean section (TOLAC)/vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC). Here is the link to the survey:
