Data was collected through interviews, medical records and documentation related to the newborn and submitted to descriptive and statistical analysis.Results:Demonstrably useful practices: Presence of a companion 400 (87%); use of a light diet 349 (75.9%); freedom of position and movement 374 (81.3); use of partograph forms in 246 (53.5%); pain relief 360 (78.3%) and skin to skin contact 433 (94.1%). Inappropriate practices: Amniotomy 249 (54.2%). Clearly harmful practices: oxytocin infusion 87 (39%), horizontal position during fetal expulsion 435 (94.6%), Kristeller maneuver in the expulsionperiod 71 (15.5%).Conclusion:The obstetrical model currently used can be abandoned, but this involves support to the training of health professionals.
