    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal Health
    • Childbirth Practices

    Background:

    • The left lateral Sims' position, a traditional childbirth method, is underutilized.
    • Increased natural childbirth in birthing rooms highlights the need for effective side-delivery positions.
    • Current literature lacks comprehensive guidance on the lateral Sims' position.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reintroduce and detail the left lateral Sims' position for childbirth.
    • To address the barriers hindering the adoption of this effective side-delivery method.
    • To provide a practical guide for healthcare providers interested in using the lateral Sims' position.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of the historical use and benefits of the lateral Sims' position.
    • Detailed description of the technique for left lateral Sims' position during childbirth.
    • Discussion of the advantages and potential challenges associated with its implementation.

    Main Results:

    • The left lateral Sims' position offers improved perineal visualization for clinicians.
    • This position provides greater freedom of movement for obstetricians during delivery.
    • Challenges include a lack of trained personnel and inadequate literature.

    Conclusions:

    • The left lateral Sims' position is a valuable, yet neglected, technique in modern obstetrics.
    • Overcoming training and literature gaps is crucial for its wider adoption.
    • Healthcare providers are encouraged to consider this position for improved delivery outcomes.
