Fetus and newborn affected by delivery by vacuum extractor [ventouse] - Prevention

To prevent a fetus or newborn from being affected by delivery by vacuum extractor, it is important to ensure that the procedure is performed correctly and only when necessary. the vacuum extractor should only be used when the mother has been in labor for more than 12 hours, the fetus is in an occiput anterior position, and the mother's cervix is fully dilated and effaced. the doctor should also monitor the mother's and baby's vital signs closely throughout the procedure to ensure that the baby is not being over-exposed to the vacuum extractor.
