Obstructed labour: its contribution to maternal mortality
Midwifery.
1992 Mar.
Abstract
Every year 85,000 women die from obstructed labour and many many more lose their baby and have debilitating physical damage as a result. In this paper the extent of the problem is described. Methods by which obstructed labour can be prevented are given. Early detection and prompt referral for appropriate treatment are vital if damage is to be minimised. This requires particular attention in midwifery education which must include community experience which fosters dialogue and strengthens prevention. This paper is based on one originally given at the ICM/WHO/UNICEF pre-congress workshop in Kobe, Japan, October 1990.
