Re: Vacuum vs. forceps( was scalp pH)From: ATFSOCCER@aol.comSat Oct 4 21:52:58 1997
In a message dated 97-10-03 17:53:12 EDT, you write: << There is currently a big swing from forceps to vacuum in UK. There is much evidence in favour of this swing in published papers and also on Cochrane. There has recently been some doubts expressed about the various studies. Basically though the evidence favours vacuum in terms of short and medium term maternal outcomes, with neonatal outcomes being similar. Malcolm Griffiths >> The big swing happened in the states about 5 to 10 years ago and vacuums and low forceps seem to have about the same maternal and fetal morbidity. Andy
