Abstract
MCCANDLISH, National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit, Institute of Health Sciences, Headington, Oxford, UK, reviewed (49 references) the management of perineal care and trauma in routine midwifery practice.
Background
Methodology
Results
Conclusion
Some aspects of perineal management and repair have been researched and there is reliable evidence on which to base practice. However, there remains a considerable and urgent need for collaborative clinical research in this area. Midwives need to be aware of this and actively pursue the furtherance of such knowledge.
