A member asked:

Can both a forcep and vacuum (ventose) be used during delivery? help please?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Training: If an operative assisted vaginal delivery is necessary, it will depend on what instrument the obstetrician performing the operation was trained on, whether the vacuum or the forceps will be used.
