A complete head-to-toe assessment of a pediatric patient is presented in this teaching video, following the Bates visual guide format used in clinical training. It works through each body system in examination order. A study resource for students learning pediatric examination. Educational only — not medical advice.

The baby will move head down if there is room or if there is tone in the support to the uterus to direct baby head down. Before 24-26 weeks most babies lie diagonal or sideways in the Transverse Lie position. Between 24-29 weeks most babies turn vertical and some will be breech.

An educational video showing how a vasectomy is performed. Procedure education only — discuss contraception decisions with your clinician.

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.

A routine Pap smear and pelvic examination for screening is demonstrated in this gynecology video. The recording shows the collection of a cervical sample and the accompanying pelvic assessment. It is an educational resource for clinicians and students learning cervical screening examination technique.

An educational case of the medical removal of a retained rectal foreign body, and how emergency clinicians approach it. Educational only — seek urgent care for any retained foreign body.

An educational documentary on female reproductive anatomy and how it works. Educational only — not medical advice.

Examination of a femoral hernia is shown in this brief surgical examination clip. The recording presents how the groin area is assessed when a femoral hernia is suspected. It is an educational example for students learning hernia examination technique. It can support classroom teaching and independent study in this subject area.

A rare multiple birth is documented in this video: the natural vaginal delivery of triplets. It follows the delivery of each baby in sequence and the care provided between arrivals. Multiple births are usually closely monitored, and this recording is a useful obstetric learning resource. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.

ectal exam is an internal examination of the rectum such as by a physician or other healthcare professional.
The digital rectal examination (DRE, Latin palpatio per anum or PPA) is a relatively simple procedure. The patient is placed in a position where the anus is accessible and relaxed (lying on the side, squatting on the examination table, bent over the examination table, etc). The physician inserts a gloved and lubricated finger into the rectum through the anus and palpates the insides.
The DRE is inadequate as a screening tool for colorectal cancer because it examines less than 10% of the colorectal mucosa; colonoscopy is preferred. However, it's an important part of a general examination, as many tumors or other diseases are made manifest in the distal part of the rectum.

This examination may be used: * for the diagnosis of rectal tumors and other forms of cancer; * in males, for the diagnosis of prostatic disorders, notably tumors and benign prostatic hyperplasia; * for the diagnosis of appendicitis or other examples of an acute abdomen (i.e. acute abdominal symptoms indicating a serious underlying disease); * for the estimation of the tonicity of the anal sphincter, which may be useful in case of fecal incontinence or neurologic diseases, including traumatic spinal cord injuries; * in females, for gynecological palpations of internal organs * for examination of the hardness and color of the feces (ie. in cases of constipation, and fecal impaction); * prior to a colonoscopy or proctoscopy. * to evaluate haemorrhoids

The DRE is frequently combined with an FOBT (fecal occult blood test), which may be useful for diagnosing the etiology of an anemia and/or confirming a gastrointestinal bleed.

Sometimes proctoscopy may also be part of a rectal examination.

A clear 3D animation of a normal vaginal delivery, showing how the baby moves through the birth canal. Educational only — not medical advice.

A video showing a ventouse (vacuum extraction) delivery and when clinicians use it. Educational only — not medical advice.

Pediatric Cardiovascular Examination

An educational video of a surgical abortion by dilatation and curettage, showing the steps of the procedure. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.

This 3D animation explains congestive heart failure, a condition in which the heart cannot pump blood as efficiently as it should. The visualization shows how the heart's pumping action weakens over time and how fluid can build up in the body as the condition develops. Animations like this are widely used in patient and student education.

This childbirth video records the delivery of twins. The recording presents the birth in an educational context, documenting how a twin delivery proceeds in a clinical setting with the maternity team. Twin deliveries require additional monitoring because two babies are born in the same labor.

This video records a water birth, with delivery taking place in a birthing pool, and follows the final stage of labor through the baby's first moments. It offers students and expectant parents a clear look at how water births are supported and managed. For learning purposes only — not medical advice.
