Manual on Labour Room Protocols

Description of Manual on Labour Room Protocols

We live in an era where obstetrics is one of the most common specialties associated with litigation. Hence, it is of paramount importance that our practice be well documented, evidence-based and appropriate, especially if the patient presents in an emergency. The correct methodology to arrive at a timely diagnosis and targeted specific investigations, followed by intervention, is the hallmark of a good clinician.

The Manual on Labour Room Protocols is the result of distilling together the experience of some of the most senior stalwarts from our fraternity and international guidance from various societies, including the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), the Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada (SOGC) and the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG).
