Fever during labor, depending on the upward spread of infection through the genital canal, should not, according to Siegert, be an indication for operations aimed at hastening the termination of labor: observations show that the use of such operations leads to increased morbidity in the puerperal period. In such cases, it is only necessary to resort to labor-saving operations when there is no hope of spontaneous termination of labor.
