Summary
When a valid indication for vacuum-assisted birth exists, the relevant obstetric variables should be identified and carefully assessed to determine whether vacuum-assisted birth is appropriate and safe under the clinical circumstances and for the level of experience of the operator. This important decision-making process is considered in Chapters 2 and 3 of the book. This chapter focuses on a few selected technical matters that should, if followed, improve the efficacy and reduce the risk of vacuum-assisted birth.
