- Title
Rebozo Technique for Fetal Malposition in Labor.
- Authors
Cohen, Susanna R.; Thomas, Celeste R.
- Abstract
Fetal occiput posterior position is associated with increased maternal and fetal morbidities. Currently, clinicians have limited evidence-based techniques or tools to remedy fetal occiput posterior position. The traditional Mexican rebozo technique of pelvic massage, sifting, or jiggling offers a potentially valuable tool to help correct fetal malposition. This article reviews the adaptation of 3 rebozo techniques that can be used in labor to encourage optimum fetal positioning; outlines hospital considerations for safety, fetal heart rate monitoring, and universal precautions; and reviews the implementation plan to introduce and sustain use of the rebozo in a large academic medical center.
