Answer #1

Equipment that should be available for a sterile vaginal examination :-

A vaginal examination in labour is a sterile procedure if the membranes have ruptured or are going to be ruptured during the examination. Therefore, a sterile tray is needed. The basic necessities are:

Swabs.

Tap water for swabbing.

Sterile gloves.

A suitable instrument for rupturing the membranes.

An antiseptic vaginal cream or sterile lubricant.

An ordinary surgical glove can be used and the patient does not need to be swabbed if the membranes have not ruptured yet and are not going to be ruptured during the examination.
