## Resource

Podcast Family, in this episode we will focus on the “20-minute rule” for vacuum assisted vaginal delivery. This is an important aspect of neonatal safety and is a vital part of procedure documentation. Documentation for vacuum assisted vaginal delivery should include station at application, number of tractions, number of pop-offs and the total traction time and the vacuum trackable time (time from first application to delivery). This has historical roots as well as new data to validate it (March 2026). Listen in for details. ACOG PB 219; 2020 Preuss E, Porto A, Sheiman V, Bitton M, Tovbin J, Kedem HI, Barzilay E.
