The only things You can be sure about almost 100% are complications. Decreased forces - apply uterokinetics, if protraction of labor is the case, and breech is still not engaged -definitely section is the only method of choice. >The principle (I believe) is: WAIT, DON'T HURRY, DON'T DO NOTHING FORCIBLE. Especially - don't extract the baby (unless it's inevitable - but it could be only a partial extraction of head or hands). Only exception is known from medical faculty:second transversal twin. I thing it's unpardonable if any problem occurs during vacuum breech delivery. >But anyway, if You are still interested in some abstracts or other sources, I know that here in late 60s dr. Lipensky issued a book:"Vacuumextraction" in Slovak language. Drop me a line if You want some chapters from that, I will try to find the book and translate something / I'll do my best, but I'm not sure about precise terminology in English//. >====================== >Dr. Rudolf STRAKA >straka@sco.medicalh.sk >Women's Clinic >Jesseniuss Medical Faculty, University of Komensky Faculty Hospital >Martin >Slovak Republic >====================== I do not see the point in using the vacuum when with groin traction it is so easy to bring down and guide the breech using the correct amount of force and keeping the angle of pull exact. -- Brian Hackman Mr.Brian Hackman, Butts House, Church Road, Glatton, Cambridgeshire, PE17 5RR.

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.
