Re: 'Clanking the forceps'From: ginny lee BSN, GNM (kaupilimakoa@hotmail.com)Mon Oct 16 01:25:29 2000
>Dr. Joe, what are you trying to say, that the mother is holding back or that >the baby somehow knows what forceps are and that if he/she doesn't come out >on her own, that he/she risks being RIPPED out by the head! Nope, I don't think that's what he is implying...I think the physiology behind the phenomenon is the same involved when a women is suddenly able to urinate when confronted with the possibility of catheterization...something experienced labor nurses have probably all witnessed. If you have a woman whose strength is flagging, she may often summon up that little oomph when confronted with the possibility of assisted delivery. FYI, forceps are not used to RIP the baby out...rather they are used in conjunction with the maternal expulsive effort. I have seen forcep delivered babies with nary a mark... what is your experience with assisted delivery?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
