AB  - The  last  3  decades  have  seen  ultrasound  evaluation  become  an  integral  part  of  obstetrics  and  gynecology.  This  diagnostic  tool  plays  an  essential  role  in  the  management  of  the  pregnant  woman  during  her  entire  pregnancy  as  well  as  on  labor  and  delivery  (L&D).  However,  while  the  ultrasound  operative  skill  set  continues  to  improve  in  most  ultrasound  units,  the  same  cannot  be  said  for  most  L&D  floors.  It  is  unfortunate  that  providers  with  greater  ultrasound  operating  skills  rarely  participate  in  the  care  of  patients  outside  the  ultrasound  unit,  while  the  average  “laborist”  possesses  limited  sonography  skills.  In  addition,  it  is  the  authors’  experience  that  the  ultrasound  machines  used  in  most  L&D  units  are  usually  old  and  often  are  rejected  pieces  from  another  service.
