Every year 85,000 women die from obstructed labour and many many more lose their baby and have debilitating physical damage as a result. In this paper the extent of the problem is described. Methods by which obstructed labour can be prevented are given. Early detection and prompt referral for appropriate treatment are vital if damage is to be minimised. This requires particular attention in midwifery education which must include community experience which fosters dialogue and strengthens prevention. This paper is based on one originally given at the ICM/WHO/UNICEF pre-congress workshop in Kobe, Japan, October 1990.
每年有85000名妇女死于难产，更多的妇女失去她们的婴儿，并因此遭受身体机能的损害。本文描述了这一问题的严重程度，并给出了预防难产的方法。若要将损害降至最低，早期发现并及时转诊接受适当治疗至关重要。这在助产士教育中需要特别关注，其中必须包括促进对话和加强预防的社区实践经验。本文基于1990年10月在日本神户举行的国际助产士联合会/世界卫生组织/联合国儿童基金会会前研讨会上的一篇发言稿。
