- ItemFailure to perform assisted deliveries is resulting in an increased neonatal and maternal morbidity and mortality : an expert opinion(Health & Medical Publishing Group, 2018) Pattinson, R. C.; Vannevel, V.; Barnard, D.; Baloyi, S.; Gebhardt, G. S.; Le Roux, K.; Moran, N.; Moodley, J.The need to perform assisted vaginal delivery (AVD) has been regarded as self-evident. In high-income countries, rates of AVD range between 5% and 20% of all births. In South Africa, the rate of AVD is only 1%. This has resulted in increased neonatal morbidity and mortality due to intrapartum asphyxia, and increased maternal morbidity and mortality due to a rise in second-stage caesarean deliveries. In this article, we address the possible causes leading to a decrease in AVD and propose measures to be taken to increase the rates of AVD and subsequently reduce morbidity and mortality.
