    • Can ultrasound predict labor outcome in operative vaginal deliveries? 

      Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2020:183, Doctoral thesis, 2020)

    • Descent of fetal head during active pushing: secondary analysis of prospective cohort study investigating ultrasound examination before operative vaginal delivery 

      Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Usman, Sana; Ghi, T; Youssef, A; Torkildsen, Erik A.; Lindtjørn, Elsa; Østborg, Tilde Broch; Benediktsdóttir, Sigurlaug; Brooks, L; Harmsen, Lotte; Salvesen, Kjell Å; Lees, C; Eggebø, Torbjørn Moe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Objectives To investigate if descent of the fetal head during active pushing is associated with duration of operative vaginal delivery, mode of delivery and neonatal outcome in nulliparous women with prolonged second stage ...

    • Fetal head descent assessed by transabdominal ultrasound: a prospective observational study 

      Kamel, Rasha; Negm, Sherif; Badr, Islam; Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Eggebø, Torbjørn M.; Iversen, Johanne Kolvik von Ely (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Detection of copy number variation (CNV) in genes associated with disease is important in genetic diagnostics, and next generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides data that can be used for CNV detection. ...

    • Fetal molding examined with transperineal ultrasound and associations with position and delivery mode 

      Iversen, Johanne Kolvik; Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Torkildsen, Erik A.; Eggebø, Torbjørn Moe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background To accommodate passage through the birth canal, the fetal skull is compressed and reshaped, a phenomenon known as molding. The fetal skull bones are separated by membranous sutures that facilitate compression ...

    • Intrapartum ultrasound in women with prolonged first stage of labor 

      Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Eggebø, Torbjørn Moe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The first stage of labor is from the start of active labor until the cervix is fully dilatated. To assess labor progress during this stage, a clinical examination has traditionally been done. The cervical dilatation, fetal ...

    • Live born recipient of twin-twin transfusion syndrome with anomalous mitral arcade 

      Ødegård, Siv Steinsmo; Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Lang, Astri Maria; Nyrnes, Siri Ann (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      We present a case report of anomalous mitral arcade in a live born former recipient of twin-twin transfusion syndrome. At 33+0 week of gestation fetal ultrasound demonstrated that she had a large mitral insufficiency, ...

    • Sonographic prediction of outcome of vacuum deliveries: a multicenter, prospective cohort study 

      Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Usman, Sana; Ghi, Tullio; Youssef, Aly; Torkildsen, Erik Andreas; Lindtjørn, Elsa; Østborg, Tilde Broch; Benediktsdóttir, Sigurlaug; Brooks, Lis; Harmsen, Lotte; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Salvesen, Kjell Å; Lees, Christoph; Eggebø, Torbjørn Moe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Background Safe management of the second stage of labor is of great importance. Unnecessary interventions should be avoided and correct timing of interventions should be focused. Ultrasound assessment of fetal position ...

    • There are 4, not 7, cardinal movements in labor 

      Iversen, Johanne Kolvik von Ely; Kahrs, Birgitte Heiberg; Eggebø, Torbjørn Moe (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The mechanics of labor describe the forces required for fetal descent, and the movements that the fetus must perform to overcome the resistance met by the maternal bony pelvis and soft tissue. The fetus negotiates the birth ...
