Handbook of Vacuum Extraction in Obstetric Practice

Description

The Handbook of Vacuum Delivery in Obstetric Practice is intended to be used as a resource for clinicians who perform or who are in training to perform standard and rotational vacuum delivery. In addition, all healthcare providers who assist women during and following vacuum birth, and neonatal paediatricians and nurses responsible for the care of their infants will find much information in the handbook helpful for their practices. Essential knowledge, procedural steps and technical skills for successful and safe vacuum delivery are outlined in the book in a clear and systematic fashion supported by over two hundred illustrations and photographs. The available evidence for best practice is critically examined and recommendations based on the data are discussed.
