Grandmultiparity: a continuing problem in developing countries.

Four hundred and thirty-one grandmultiparae and 1,070 less parous women who delivered at Civil Hospital, Karachi over a 2-year period (Jan. 1982 to Dec. 1983) have been reviewed retrospectively. The purpose was to estimate the incidence of grandmultiparity at this hospital and compare the incidence of obstetric and medical complications in the grandmultiparae with the less parous women. A higher incidence of anaemia, spontaneous abortions, abruptio placentae, postpartum haemorrhage, spontaneous uterine rupture and fetal loss was found in the grandmultiparae compared with other parturients. The grandmultipara continues to be a "high-risk" obstetric problem.

A multidisciplinary clerkship in emergency medicine.

An obligatory, multidisciplinary, fourth-year emergency medicine clerkship is described and the particular problems of multidisciplinary courses discussed. The course is designed to produce medical students who adequately demonstrate: knowledge of emergency care and facility in specified skills, familiarity with the appropriate use of an emergency room, and conversance with treatment of nonemergency cases. Students are required to complete successfully an advanced cardiac life support providers course, serve on ambulance duty, rotate through a community hospital emergency room, and participate in the more traditional clinical experiences. The course offers the fourth-year student an opportunity to synthesize prior knowledge within the context of a multidisciplinary patient care experience.
