Download or read book Assisted Vaginal Delivery written by Leonard E. Laufe and published by McGraw-Hill Companies. This book was released on 1992 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last 20 years, there has been a significant reduction in the clinical use of forceps, & the teaching & demonstration of the proper technique of their use has virtually been eliminated. In addition, the number of Caesarian Sections performed in the United States has reached an all-time high, accounting for approximately 20 percent of all deliveries. Since C-sections are very expensive, require 4 to 5 days hospitalization, & carry the normal risks of abdominal surgery, there has been an attempt by the Federal Government to reduce their number by mandating that forceps delivery techniques be taught again in certified residency programs in Ob/Gyn. This heavily illustrated text covers the evolution & history of the forceps & forceps anatomy, & serves as a complete training program. Step-by-step illustrations describe the proper technique for the use of forceps & vacuum extraction.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.

Each chapter identifies the key learning points and provides step-by-step instructions for performing each technique.
