The study objectives were to describe the profiles of normal deliveries assisted by nurses and physicians, and analyze the similarities and differences in the maternal and neonatal outcomes in the service cases. Descriptive analysis of the data was performed, using Fisher’s F-test and Student’s t-test, with significance at p<0.05. Both professional categories adopt the conducts of zero dieting, intravenous hydration and oxytocin during labor. A significant difference was observed (p<0.01) for episiotomy performed by nurses (15%) and physicians (64.3%). Similar maternal and neonatal outcomes were observed for low-risk normal deliveries assisted by nurses and physicians.
