Abstract
Objective: To review the scientific literature on how nurses and/or midwives have incorporated ultrasound technology into the clinical management of pregnancy and/or childbirth in health care settings. Method: Scoping review protocol according to JBI guidelines and using the PRISMA-P checklist. Stages of the search strategy: (1) initial search of PubMed (keywords and MeSH terms); (2) search of MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, Ovid Journals Full Text, and Web of Science; and (3) screening of the reference list of all evidence sources identified during extraction. Studies addressing ultrasound in obstetric care in health care settings were included. The process of assessment, selection and data extraction will be performed by two independent researchers. Descriptive analysis (basic analysis of frequencies and percentages) will be performed. The results will be presented narratively.
