[Accident in the labor room. Monitoring responsibility of the midwife in relaxing baths before delivery].

Abstract

During a relaxation bath, a 20-years old I-Para had an accident by submersion. In succession, both, mother and child, experienced irreparable cerebral injuries. While the counsel of prosecution pleads for manslaughter, forensic scientists and gynaecologists advise to discuss the inaccuracies in the law of midwife.
