I don't have evidence but I was told that a failed vacuum means >> a C/S and *NEVER* a forceps.

Baloney the best review on this subject was from Knox Ritichie/ Dan farine at Mount Siani in Toronto about a decade ago, basically makes no difference, but the big qualifier was to be able to go to c-section quickly.

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.
