Best Management For Obstructed Labour (p 1203)
One of the most challenging emergencies for obstetricians is obstructed labour, when the cervix (neck of the womb) is fully stretched but the baby will not come out. This may be due to the baby having a head which is too large to pass easily through the mother's birth canal (disproportion) or to... view more (2001-10-10)
