Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes of forceps deliveries at the Department of Perinatology in Lodz from January 2019 to December 2022, amid decreasing instrumental deliveries and rising C-section rates.
- It found that forceps deliveries constituted 2.2% of total deliveries, primarily indicated by fetal distress (81.6%), with vaginal laceration being the most common maternal complication (40.1%).
- The results revealed high neonatal health outcomes, with 91.2% of newborns scoring ≥8 on the Apgar scale and a low incidence of severe birth injuries, suggesting that forceps can be a safe and effective option in obstetrics.
