Dr Jyoti Vikas Rokade

Abstract :

Increased use of caesarean section and a lower willingness about vaginal birth post caesarean has prompted the need of alternatedelivery techniques.We assess vacuum assisted delivery (of fetal head) for a sample group of 300 patients delivered with LSCSusing vacuum, compared against a control group of 300 patients with the fetal head delivered manually or by forceps/ extending uterine incision.In our data, subjects were full term, with 64 % of vacuumassisted group and 69 % in manual extraction were in labour. Incision to delivery interval was 10–30 seconds (average 18 seconds). In comparison to cases with traumatic extension of angle, 9% patients from control and only 1% from sample group had extension. Mean blood loss in control and sample group was 700 ml and 400 ml respectively. None of the babies in sample group had vacuum related scalp injuries. We confirm vacuum assisted LSCS is safe, atraumaticwith obstetrician’swell familiarity with the technique as a prerequisite.
