Validation of the 1988 ACOG Forceps Classification System

A prospective study of 357 forceps deliveries classified using each system validates the 1988 classification scheme for forceps operations, with results indicating greater stratification of the risks of short-term neonatal and maternal morbidity.

A continuing use for Kielland's forceps?

Support is offered for the continuing role of Kielland's forceps in modern obstetrical practice with no difference in Apgar score, the need for active resuscitation, incidence of jaundice or abnormal neurological behaviour.

Failed instrumental delivery: how safe is the use of a second instrument?

An audit of failed instrumental deliveries was undertaken to assess the incidence of complications and the adequacy of documentation, and it was found that severe maternal or perinatal complications could be avoided by adequate pre-application assessment, standard conduct of instrumental delivery and full documentation.

A comparison of the morbidity of midforceps and cesarean delivery.

There was no increase in significant short-term neonatal morbidity in the midforceps group, while maternal morbidity was higher in the cesarean delivery group.

Immediate maternal and neonatal effects of low-forceps delivery according to the new criteria of The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists compared with spontaneous vaginal delivery in term pregnancies.

Kielland's forceps: association with neonatal morbidity and mortality.

The results suggest that neither the speed of cervical dilatation nor the timing of engagement of the fetal head is of help in predicting the occurrence of neonatal complications after the use of Kielland's forceps.
