Description
Forceps delivery is a means of extracting the foetus with the aid of obstetric forceps when it is inadvisable or impossible for the mother to complete the delivery by her own effort.
• This procedure is performed by a forceps; an instrument that
has two parts that cross each other like scissors and lock at
the intersection.
• The lock may be of sliding type or of screw type.
• Each part consists of a handle, a lock, a shank and a blade.
• The blade is joined to the handle by a shank.
• The blade has two curves, cephalic curve to fit the head, and
pelvic curve that correspond with the curved axis of the
pelvis.

AMNIOTIC FLUID EMBOLISM
Trending!
It is a rare condition, but highly fatal. (5th most common
cause of maternal mortality.). It is a severe obstetrical emergency which occurs either as the first stage ends, though rare, or shortly after separation of the placenta. In either situation, the uterus is injured (torn) or uterine sinuses do not close instantly. So some
amniotic fluid is forced into the maternal circulation by the strong uterine contractions hence embolism.

received a diploma.
She later earned her BSC in nursing education in 1939 and a
MSc. in nursing education in 1945.

that made it necessary to bring in a nurse.
This led to the evolution of her idea of self- care.
