Abstract

Logbooks can be considered aggregate databases that registered nurses (RNs) have the primary responsibility of completing in most health care settings. However, RNs may be unaware of the many uses for the information contained in logbooks and the importance of these entries (Paine et al., 1988). Labor and delivery (L&D) logs provide an essential source of vital statistics birth data for the medical records staff. These data bits are used for reporting statistics, projecting trends, and planning future care for pregnant women.

[Family-centered obstetrics in Hungary].

The author has carried out a survey at hospitals in Hungary to examine how general family-centred obstetrics is, and to what extent obstetrics departments are able to meet the increasing demand for this exerted by society. In the course of the survey he focused on the characteristics of obstetrics departments, the preparation for delivery and maternity, open delivery-rooms, delivery with the partner, early mother-baby contact and rooming-in, and to what extent these operate. He describes the findings on the basis of data returned by 87 maternity departments, 81.3% of the total number of institutions in the country. The data reveals that 96.6% of wards have preparatory courses for delivery and maternity, 98.8% of open-delivery rooms welcome the partner at the delivery, early mother-baby contact is possible in 97.7% and 95.6% offer rooming-in. The study gives a comprehensive view of the present state of family-centred obstetrics offering an opportunity for everyone to re-evaluate their practices and to set up new objectives so that every mother and family can have easy access to family-centred obstetrics.

Resuscitation of the newly born infant: an advisory statement from the Pediatric Working Group of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.

The International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), with representation from North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and South America, was formed in 1992 to provide a forum for liaison between resuscitation organizations in the developed world. This consensus document on resuscitation extends previously published ILCOR advisory statements on resuscitation to address the unique and changing physiology of the newly born infant within the first few hours following birth and the techniques for providing advanced life support.
