A pediatric examination of the lymph nodes is demonstrated in this clinical video for child health assessment. The examiner palpates the lymph node regions as part of a routine physical examination of a child. The recording is a training resource for students learning pediatric examination skills.
Male urethral catheterization is demonstrated here using sterile technique, showing how a urinary catheter is passed into the bladder. The video is a procedure-skills resource for medical students, nurses, and clinicians. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Pelvic examinations during labor are used for several purposes, among them assessment of cervical dilatation, effacement, station of the presenting part, presentation, position, and pelvic capacity.Instruction in these techniques is particularly important for those health care providers involved in labor management, including physicians, nurses, midwives, paramedics and EMT personnel.
Inguinal hernia Diagram of an indirect, scrotal inguinal hernia ( median view from the left). Diagram of an indirect, scrotal inguinal hernia ( median view from the left). By far the most common hernias (up to 75% of all abdominal hernias) are the so-called inguinal hernias. For a thorough understanding of inguinal hernias, much insight is needed in the anatomy of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are further divided into the more common indirect inguinal hernia (2/3, depicted here), in which the inguinal canal is entered via a congenital weakness at its entrance (the internal inguinal ring), and the direct inguinal hernia type (1/3), where the hernia contents push through a weak spot in the back wall of the inguinal canal. Inguinal hernias are more common in men than women while femoral hernias are more common in women.
This video demonstrates the rectal examination, a clinical assessment used to evaluate the rectum and nearby structures. The recording shows how the examination is performed as part of a complete physical assessment in medical practice. The examination can help assess the prostate and check for abnormalities.
An older clinical recording, this video shows how an enema is administered, demonstrating the equipment and the steps involved in the procedure. It serves as a clinical-skills demonstration for students and caregivers. Procedure education only — not personal medical advice.
Bone marrow examination refers to the pathologic analysis of samples of bone marrow obtained by bone marrow biopsy (often called a trephine biopsy) and bone marrow aspiration. Bone marrow examination is used in the diagnosis of a number of conditions, including leukemia, multiple myeloma, anemia, and pancytopenia. The bone marrow produces the cellular elements of the blood, including platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells. While much information can be gleaned by testing the blood itself (drawn from a vein by phlebotomy), it is sometimes necessary to examine the source of the blood cells in the bone marrow to obtain more information on hematopoiesis; this is the role of bone marrow aspiration and biopsy.
Pediatric IV insertion is taught in this narrated training video. The instruction covers recommended vein sites in infants and children, the equipment to prepare, and the catheter sizes used in pediatrics. It is a practical study resource for nursing and clinical skills training.
This physical examination video demonstrates the clinical breast examination, part 1 of the Loyola University series. The recording shows the inspection and palpation techniques doctors use to assess the breast for masses or other abnormalities. Breast examination is a standard part of women's health assessment.
Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. When necessary in certain circumstances, forceps (instruments resembling large spoons) may be used to cup your baby's head and help guide the baby through the birth canal. Vacuum delivery is another way to assist delivery and is similar to forceps delivery. In vacuum delivery, a plastic cup is applied to the baby's head by suction and the health care provider gently pulls the baby from the birth canal.
