Maybe I have never allowed labour to go on so long that the head is impacted that much! I think the reason why pushing the head up from below works to dislodge the head duirng a section is because the action allows passage of air through the vagina to break the vaccuum. And I think that's why my open fingers technique works for me from above. Come to think of it - it does not have to be air passing between my fingers into the birth canal as I lift the head. Any fluid would do - air, amniotic fluid, meconium. Something has to take up the space between the baby's head and the mother's soft tissue as the head up is being displaced upwards. Otherwise, a vacuum would be created - that's over 14 psi of pressure to overcome. As long as I keep my fingers open, fluid will flow down as the head gets lifted up. It's sort of like Zen - going with the flow. May be I call this the Zen Maneuver? :-) Allan ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com -------------------------------1193200804 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> In a message dated 10/23/2007 6:57:23 PM Eastern Daylight Time,

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.
