Résumé (français) : | Une équipe de recherche dirigée par Dr. Helen Steed à l’Université d’Alberta remet en cause la pratique habituelle de l’épisiotomie lors d’une extraction par forceps. Un article récent dans The Medical Post rapporte que les chercheurs ont examiné les dossiers médicaux de 272 femmes qui avaient eu un accouchement par forceps en 1994 au Grey Nuns Community Health Centre d’Edmonton. Toutes ces femmes avaient donné naissance à un seul bébé en position vertex (tête la première, visage vers le bas). |
Abstract (English) : | A research team headed by Dr. Helen Steed at the University of Alberta questions the routine practice of episiotomy to accommodate a forceps delivery. A recent article in The Medical Post reports that researchers examined the medical records of 272 women who had a forceps delivery during 1994 at Grey Nuns Community Health Centre in Edmonton. All of the women had one baby, born in the vertex (head first, face down) position. |
