Summary
Assisted vaginal birth (AVB) is to expedite birth for the benefit of the mother, baby or both whilst minimising maternal and neonatal morbidity. Forceps, ventouse (or ‘vacuum’) delivery and manual rotation (usually completed with non-rotational forceps) are the most common methods used in the UK. In the UK, operative delivery rates have varied between 10 and 15% (England 12.7% and Scotland 12.1% – data for 2021) but rates vary significantly across European countries (median 7.2%; range 2.1% [Slovakia] to 15.1% [Ireland and Spain] – data for 2015).
