And apparently everyone was impressed with Dublin's low caesarean rate with active management (about 5% by memory)...... pity that no
one ever noticed that their caesarean rate was lower before active
management was introduced. One thing that the Irish did have at this time
(from what I've read) was a strong belief in women's ability to birth, plus one-to-one care while in labour. When many others around the world decided
to take on active management they left these two vital things out. The
thing that amazes me is that this originated in the 50's...........time to move
on to current evidence based practice!
Cheers
