| Popis: | Objective: To determine trainee obstetricians personal preferences regarding mode and place of delivery given various scenarios. Study Design: An anonymous nationwide postal survey of 365 specialist registrars. Results: The response rate was 76%. About 2.5% preferred a home birth. And 16% of men and 15% of women opted for elective cesarean section (CS). When faced with a proposed trial of instrumental delivery in theatre, 60% accepted and a further 12% accepted only if they could choose the obstetrician performing the delivery. Regarding a breech presentation at term, 78% would accept external cephalic version (ECV). Conclusions: The percentage of obstetricians who preferred vaginal delivery and ECV were considerably higher than previously reported, and there were no significant gender differences. This study shows a more balanced attitude from obstetricians and refutes the previously held view that they necessarily advocate high levels of intervention for themselves. |
