Comparison of perinatal outcomes for all modes of second stage delivery in obstetric theatres: a retrospective observational study.

CONCLUSIONS: Attempting instrumental delivery in delivery suite theatre, as an alternative to primary emergency full dilatation Caesarean section, is both reasonable and safe. In this study Ventouse delivery performed poorly in comparison with other modes of instrumental delivery. Further research in the form of randomised controlled trials to identify the optimal mode of second stage delivery is paramount. PMID: 33142034 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
