| Abstract | OBJECTIVES--To evaluate the use of a maternity unit run by general practitioners and midwives, describing the outcome of labour in an unselected group of women and quantifying the contribution made by general practitioners. DESIGN--Retrospective population based review of obstetric patients who had access to an isolated rural maternity unit. SETTING--Rural area 120 km from a consultant maternity unit. SUBJECTS--997 consecutive women delivered between January 1987 and May 1991. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Mode of delivery and complications by place of booking and place of delivery; need for medical intervention and transfer. RESULTS--530 women (53%) were booked for delivery in the rural unit; this group had a caesarean section rate of 3.8% and an unplanned transfer rate of 12.8% to the consultant unit in labour. Of the 462 who delivered in the low risk unit, 25 (5%) required a forceps delivery; postnatal complications requiring emergency medical support occurred in a further 33 (7%). CONCLUSIONS--Risk characterisation is possible, but medical support from general practitioners and obstetricians is required in almost a third of women at low risk for complications of delivery. Results of this study support the team approach to obstetric management but not the move towards isolated units without organised medical support. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
