Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) needs confirmation of left conduction system capture assessed by testing of different electrical parameters. Guidelines recommend the use of an electrophysiology recording system (EP-RS) to guide conduction system pacing procedures. However, some experienced centers perform LBBAP procedures without an EP-RS.

Diagnosis of this condition is achieved through Doppler ultrasound assessment of the difference between the MoM of the peak systolic velocity of the middle cerebral artery between the twins, establishing the diagnosis with a delta value >0.5 MoM.

Background: Cesarean sections are the most common abdominal surgical interventions worldwide, with increasing rates in both developed and developing countries.

Although various non-surgical measures have been recommended for PPH prevention, surgical techniques such as uterine artery ligation and embolization have been used to manage PPH effectively.
