The aim of this study is to describe knowledge on forceps delivery in the area of Lyon.It is a multicentric observational study carried between January 1, 2013 and June 9, 2013. A questionnaire was sent to obstetricians and residents of the area of Lyon. It related prerequisites for operative vaginal delivery, the method used to apply forceps, practices and preferences of operators.Seventy-five responses were obtained (47 obstetricians, 28 residents). About prerequisites: 6.4% of the obstetricians and 14.3% of the residents never do urinary catheterization. Instrumental delivery is never performed when the fetal head is not engaged. Mid-pelvic operative vaginal delivery is performed by 51.1% of obstetricians. Trans-abdominal ultrasound assessment is conducted in cases of clinical doubts about the fetal head position. For occipital anterior and left anterior positions, the left blade is first applied. A flexion of the fetal head is applied for anterior positions but not in posterior positions. Most of operators do not perform instrumental rotation. Vacuum extractor is the privileged instrument for obstetricians and forceps is often used in second line.This study shows that most of the recommendations for forceps delivery are followed. In front of the lake of statistical power of this study, it might be interesting to improve a largest study with a comparison between obstetricians and residents' practices. |
