With any operative vaginal delivery, it is important to document in the medical record the indications for the procedure, including the position and station of the vertex and specifics of technique, timing, and ease of the procedure. The use of cord pH and blood gas determinations may be helpful for further evaluation of the fetus.

Disadvantages of Kielland and Barton forceps are described. A trial of K.B.L. forceps was undertaken in transverse and posterior positions of the fetal head. It was concluded that these forceps are easier to apply than Kielland forceps. Rotation of the head is easier, and they are the equal of Kiellands as tractors, with the advantage of causing less marking of the fetal head than either Kielland or Barton forceps.
