Predicting how and when a pregnant woman will deliver her fetus has always been a problem for the clinician, and, consequently, there has been little progress made in preventing poor outcomes from pregnancies that deliver too soon or too late. In the opinion of the author, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, rethinking labour within a biomechanical framework and studying it like an engineering problem could be a promising approach to unlocking the mysteries of labour.
预测孕妇将如何以及何时分娩胎儿一直是临床医生面临的难题,因此,在预防过早或过晚分娩的不良妊娠结局方面进展甚微。在作者(一位母胎医学专家)看来,在生物力学框架内重新思考分娩过程并将其作为一个工程问题来研究,可能是解开分娩之谜的一个有前景的方法。
