Oddly enough there is no centrifuge category I can
find, so I just have to go bit al fresco.
The idea is self-obvious, for the more tricky deliveries
a
centrifuge is used to give more of a push. Admittedly
the midwife will have to be inside too.
Just in case, volunteer sports-persons
with catcher
mitts
are deployed around the centrifuge.

I think this is going to place an unacceptable burden on the
already stretched finances of the NHS. You will inevitably get
women wanting to combined advantages of a birthing pool
and a centrifuge, requiring some sort of huge vortex tank. |
|
|
However, most large hospitals are equipped with elevators,
and it should only require a little modification to their
controllers to allow them to produce several G, at least for a
few moments. |

Or just reconfigure the tire swing in the old oak tree, and spin it in a circle; volunteer back-catchers deployed more thickly where the trajectory would intersect the tree trunk. |

Ugh. I think I may have put up an idea here about an actually-intended-to-work pressing massager belt, under computer control, likely with ultrasound imager/sensors that could pulse the uterus from outside the body to safely cause more rapid birth and contractions (pressings) that were more effective but within a safe range. |

It might create a little problem if the placenta precedes the occupant. Talk about a head rush... |

Sometimes the world makes no sense. |

So essentially a hospital funded fairground ride for women
giving birth? |
|
|
Well it might help take their minds of the pain I suppose &
they surely deserve a bit of fun, last chance
they'll have for any for a few years [+] |
|
|
//fairground ride for women giving birth// - this raises a vexing problem: Should the operator of the fairground ride charge the mother-to-be one fare or two? |

Use electricity to make the pushy muscles more pushy? |
|
|
Put a balloon in there behind the baby and inflate it? |
|
|
[Voice]; that balloon idea is not entirely ridiculous. I think
the "inflation" should be with a nice sterile saline solution,
inserted via keyhole surgery on the left below the ribcage. |
|
|
Hmm. I don't think there's really a need for a balloon - all
that's needed is some method of generating a pressure
gradient. This could be accomplished if hospitals were
equipped with deeper birthing pools - say about 500m or so -
and suitable heliox breathing apparatus. A rapid ascent at the
right moment ought to achieve the desired effect. |
