Obstetric forceps are an instrument used to remove the fetus from the uterus. They can come in different types and sizes, but one of the most common is the abdominal forceps.
Abdominal forceps are a type of forceps that is used during childbirth when the fetus is in the uterine cavity. This type of forceps differs from regular forceps in that they have a longer handle and a wider grip, which allows for better control of the fetal extraction process.
To use obstetric forceps, it is necessary to carry out special training, which includes examination of the fetus and uterus, assessment of the condition of the woman in labor and the fetus, as well as choosing the optimal time to use the forceps.
The use of abdominal-type obstetric forceps may be associated with certain risks, such as injury to the uterus and fetus, bleeding and other complications. Therefore, before using forceps, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination and consultation with a doctor.
Overall, forceps are an important tool for childbirth and their use may be necessary in certain circumstances. However, their use should be justified and carried out only under the supervision of an experienced physician.
