Ultrasound Testing during Pregnancy and its Implications

Le CD-Rom

It is a complement of the videotapes and the book, composed of a debate, a glossary, a bibliography and testimonies.

The debate gathers specialists who discuss their practice (Luc Druart, cytogenetician; Laurent Fermont, gynaecologist obstetrician sonographer; Pierre Lasfargues, gynaecologist obstetrician; Pierre Foucaud, service manager in Paediatry; Israël Nisand, gynaecologist obstetrician sonographer; Monique Nouvel, radiologist). Their reflexions unveil the affective and ethical dimension of the ultrasound of pregnancy : the formulated problems appeal to the globality of the person, whether it be the patient and her relatives, or the professionnal himself, who is often questioned far beyond his medical technique. This deepened research on the relationship in ultrasound testing brings an essential contribution to the construction of "enlightened consent".

This CD-Rom allows to refer to a hypertext glossary with multimedia illustrations.

A seeking tool makes the access to numerous books easier.

A bibliographical data base makes it possible to carry out multi-criteria search (title, author, year of edition, etc). It counts many works (~200) and places at your disposal for each work its bibliographical references, cover, summary and contents.

Finally, in the rubric of Testimonies, you will discover "The Little Femur", a nicely written short story by a mother.

This CD-Rom won the special prize of the jury during the festival of Medical and Chirurgical film and CD-Rom of the 1999 Interviews of Bichat hospital.
