I"m a little confused about the evidence showing that vacuum extraction
leads to near death experience. Having worked in a labor and delivery as
an RN for 10 years it was always my understanding that this procedure was
indicated to potentially save the life of a baby, or prevent brain damage
in a baby who is experiencing fetal distress. It seems to me that most of
the fetuses that were near death in our labor suite were in that conditon
because they were not being sufficiently oxygenated, usually due to a cord
or placenta issue and not due to vacuum extractions. Are there studies
showing that VE leads to near death experiences. Thanks.
