  • Title: Vacuum extraction.
    Author: Epperly TD, Breitinger ER.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1988 Sep; 38(3):205-10. PubMed ID: 3414471.
    Abstract:
    Vacuum extraction rivals forceps delivery in efficacy, is less traumatic to the mother and is as safe or safer than forceps delivery for the infant. Soft plastic cup extractors minimize the technical, maternal and fetal problems of vacuum extraction and have made this method of delivery ideal for the family physician who practices obstetrics.
