Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring. VII. The impact of mode of delivery on fetal outcome.

The condition of 1,991 fetuses just prior to delivery was assessed in a semiquantitative manner by means of a fetal heart rate (FHR) score. A comparison between types of delivery was made for groups with identical FHR scores to test the hypothesis that the differences in lower Apgar score rates were consequences of the type of delivery rather than differences in prenatal condition. For each of several FHR scoring categories, the differences in rates of low Apgar scores between spontaneous vaginal deliveries and cesarean sections were consistently different in favor of the vaginally delivered group. No such difference was observed when spontaneous vaginal deliveries were compared with low-forceps deliveries. Breech deliveries, when compared to spontaneous vaginal deliveries, resulted in a higher rate of low 1-minute Apgar scores. Five-minute Apgar scores were significantly different only if the breech delivery was preceded by abnormal FHR patterns.

Intrapartum bimanual tocolytic-assisted reversal of face presentation: preliminary report.

OBJECTIVE: To design and conduct a mode of vaginal delivery for mentoposterior-presenting fetuses when cesarean delivery is not possible. METHODS: Eleven orthodox Jewish parturients who refused cesarean delivery had intrapartum bimanual conversion of mentoposterior to occipitoanterior presentation, concomitant with ritodrine infusion in ten. RESULTS: Excluding the first case, in which ritodrine was not administered, the maneuver was successful and vaginal delivery was achieved. CONCLUSION: This maneuver, performed with intravenous ritodrine tocolysis, might be an alternative mode of delivery in the presence of mentoposterior presentation when cesarean delivery is not possible. More experience is needed with this technique before it is performed routinely.

[Assisted delivery of the calf by manual or mechanical traction (author's transl)].

During the past few years, an increasing number of farmers examined cows at parturition and attempted delivery of calves. Frequently, the veterinarian is merely called in to perform caesarean section. From the point of view of obstetrics, quite a number of caesarean sections could have been avoided if a thorough examination of the cow had been made. Examination and treatment of cows at parturition is described in detail. Particular attention is paid to the mechanical features of delivery. The advantages and disadvantages of manual and mechanical traction are discussed.
