Alternative methods that increase accessibility, decrease cost and decrease the need for high-­‐tech equipment have not yet been developed. Using intrauterine pressure (IUP) as an indicator of occlusion following a PC procedure may meet these needs. Our goal is to simplify the confirmation procedure after hysteroscopic or nonsurgical permanent contraception (NSPC) by developing an office-­‐based test using elevated IUP as an indicator of successful blockade. We hypothesized that an IUP threshold exists to correctly identify tubal occlusion following PC with acceptable sensitivity and specificity. 000007837 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000007837 650__ $$aContraception$$017054 000007837 650__ $$aSterilization, Reproductive$$026401 000007837 6531_ $$atubal occlusion 000007837 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000007837 692__ $$aDepartment of Public Health and Preventive Medicine$$041444 000007837 7001_ $$aPatil, Eva$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000007837 7201_ $$aJensen, Jeffrey$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000007837 8564_ $$9f9232154-ef6a-4c88-8346-e7b07d9638f3$$s1131954$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/7837/files/Patil.Eva.2016.pdf$$ePublic$$2f002f488b934787c6f8aac31946b5cfb$$31 000007837 905__ $$a/rest/prod/9c/67/wn/43/9c67wn43v 000007837 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:7837$$pstudent-work 000007837 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
