Mnemonics to aid learning

Hi there hoping this will make it as a sticky.....having been spending the last few weeks with my head in journals and books I think Mnemonics are a FAB way of learning, I wont take the credit for this have come across them in many journals including Midirs (2010).

Please feel free to add your own to this I'll start with a couple from taken from Midirs:

SHIRT: a way to remember what APGAR represents:

Skin colour: Blue/mixed/pink
Heart rate: None/below 100/over 100
Irraitablity: None/grimace/cry
Respirations: None/weak;irregular/strong
Tone: (muscle): None/some flexion/active

FLAPPED:

Fundal height
Lie
Attitude
Position
Presentation
Engagement
Denominator

Oh I love it! Thank you so much for sharing!!!! Especially flapped because when I'm mumbling to my tutor about what I think I'm palpating, I get confused as to what I had just said so end up saying something like flexed twice!! xx

Can i ask, whats denominator?

Ooh just found this thread when I was googling mnemonics! I will bump/add some more (great minds and all that topbird ) ...

DR C BRAVADO - For assessing CTGs

DR Determine Risk... Why are you doing CTG? eg. Maternal High BP
C Contractions... Are they present? How frequent? How strong? eg. 3:10 moderate.
BRa Baseline Rate... Baseline fetal heart rate (resting) eg. 147bpm
V Variability... What is the variability of fetal heart rate eg. 5-10bpm
A Accelerations... Are they present? Normal?
D Decelerations... Are any present? When? What type? eg. Early, late, variable.
O Overall Evaluation... Reassuring, suspicious, what action is to be taken eg. Referred to ABP/REG/CONSULTANT, discontinued CTG etc.

APGAR is :
A Appearance (skin colour)
P Pulse
G Grimace (irritability)
A Activity (tone)
R Respirations

Convenient that ay?

Found another, this is so helpful for revision!

HELPERR - shoulder dystocia

H Call for help
E Evaluate for episiotomy
L Legs (McRoberts manouver)
P Pressure... Suprapubic
E Entry manouvers (internal rotation etc)
R Remove posterior arm
R Roll the patient

Thanks hun x

For PPH (quite basic)
R Rub up contraction
O Oxytocics (various, follow line management)
B Bladder (empty)
I IV access
N Notes

As I say, very basic but gives a main outline for PPH due to uterine atony.

Oh my god.....how the hell do you lot remember all ths?? I mean, I totally want to join the ranks, but EEEEEEEEKK!!!!
