- español
El parto es un proceso fisiológico y, como tal, su asistencia ha de limitarse a acompañar a la mujer vigilando que siga su curso normal, evitar complicaciones y, en caso de que aparezcan, intentar resolverlas. El personal sanitario ha de conseguir un equilibrio entre seguridad y el menor grado de intervención posible.
El parto extrahospitalario se considera una urgencia por presentarse de forma inesperada, no siendo planeado previamente. Dado que debe ser atendido fuera de las condiciones ideales de un paritorio, es considerado una urgencia.

Childbirth is a physiological process and, as such, there should be limited assistance for the woman to ensure that it follows its natural process, avoiding any possible complication and, if they do appear, attempting to resolve them. Health personnel should try to achieve a balance between safety and the least possible outside assistance.
The out-of-hospital delivery is considered an emergency as it happens unexpectedly, that is, without being previously planned. Given that it has to be treated outside the ideal conditions of a maternity ward, it is considered as an emergency.
