Mid-cavity forceps delivery - what does this mean

Mid-cavity forceps delivery is a type of delivery procedure that is used when the baby is in a difficult position in the mother's birth canal, and the head is too far up in the birth canal to be reached by the doctor's hands. the mid-cavity forceps delivery involves the doctor using forceps to grasp the baby's head and pull it down to the cervix, allowing the doctor to deliver the baby safely.

What happens during the disease - mid-cavity forceps delivery

Mid-cavity forceps delivery is a type of assisted delivery, performed when the fetal head is partially emerged from the birth canal and the cervix is fully dilated. it is done by placing two blades of forceps around the fetal head and gently applying traction to help the baby out of the birth canal. the primary pathogenesis of this delivery type is that the forceps can cause trauma to the baby's head, face, and neck, resulting in bruising, swelling, and even skull fractures.
