[Trial of a delivery chair in a Parma obstetrics and gynecology clinic].

We have carried out the experiment about the use of "obstetric chairs" on 31 women in labour. There were no obstetric complications for any woman. In all cases the delivery was spontaneous and the patients appreciated the new of delivery very much. The fetus did not show any complication either during the labour or during the alter-birth period. All cases showed a high Apgar - score. The fetal heart rate monitoring didn't record any FHR changes. The midwives didn't point out any difficulty about the delivery management. These results encourage, to continue this experience.
