Percentage of epidural anesthesia

inpatient care by doctor of clinical midwife, percent sectio caesarea, vacuum
and forceps deliveries.
We also want to evaluate cost-effectiveness, adverse outcome index, budget
impact analysis and patient and healthcare satisfaction
Background summary
The advice of 'de stuurgroep zwangerschap en geboorte' to provide continuous
care during childbirth has not been sufficiently implemented at this momen. In
the outpatient care by midwifes, this is currently around 20% in the Limburg
region and in the inpatient care in hospitals this is realized in about 35% of
cases. Midwives and doctors are insufficient to take on this task, and
maternity nurses seem to be a good choice. However, the (cost) effectiveness of
more guidance by maternity care nurses during childbirth should first be
investigated.
Study objective
The effect of continuous care during childbirth care compared with current
standard care, in which continuous guidance has not yet been achieved.
Study design
Multicenter, non-blinded, randomised controlled trial
Intervention
Continuous care and support of the pregnant woman by a maternity nurse during
birth(intervention group) versus regular supervision by midwife or doctor
(control group).
Study burden and risks
no extra risk.
