Parturients give birth to children. In rare cases, they will encounter dystocia. Doctors use obstetric forceps to help deliver the baby. Sometimes there will be pinch marks on the baby’s face. It looks very dazzling. Mom also feels distressed. This method is particularly "cruel". Some parturients are also puzzled. With the current superb medical technology, is there a better way to replace forceps to assist delivery?
Here, Sister Xiaohong will first popularize the knowledge of the following obstetric forceps.
Generally, obstetric forceps are not used when the parturient is able to give birth naturally. But if you encounter a dystocia, the doctor may use forceps to help the fetus deliver.
Give a few real scenes of childbirth: A certain parturient gives birth naturally, and the fetus is about to be born. However, the head of the fetus is stuck in the birth canal and cannot be born. What should I do? ? Or the mother’s amniotic fluid breaks first, and the fetus has been difficult to deliver. In order to avoid suffocation, doctors will also use forceps. The purpose of this is to ensure the health of the adult and the fetus and shorten the delivery process as quickly as possible.
At present, the practice of obstetric forceps is operated by doctors. The way to use forceps is: place both sides of the forceps on both sides of the fetus's head, gently clamp the head, and pull the fetus out of the birth canal.
Obstetric forceps is divided into high, middle and low forceps according to the position of the fetal head in the pelvic cavity. Because high-position forceps are relatively dangerous, they are no longer used. At present, the most practiced by doctors is low-position forceps, which is safe.
Obstetrics forceps to assist delivery, as long as the technique is skillful and the position of the forceps is properly placed, there is no harm to the fetus. On the contrary, it will be of great help to childbirth. When performing this operation, the hospital will choose doctors with rich clinical experience to do it. They have rich practical experience in forceps operation and medical technology. Even if the baby has a slight pinch mark, it will disappear within a few days.
Someone said, if there is a dystocia, is it safer to have a cesarean section without forceps?
This mainly involves time issues. Sometimes, time is too late. Carrying out a cesarean section requires a lot of preparation work. At that critical moment, every minute of delay, the fetus will be hypoxic for one minute, and the consequences are serious. Obstetric forceps assist in delivery, the time is short, the focus is stable, and the resulting tension is high. The success rate of assisted delivery is high. If it goes smoothly, the fetus will be delivered in a short time. It is relatively economical and more practical than emergency cesarean section.
Why is the domestic cesarean section rate high now? It is because, in some small hospitals, doctors are not proficient in the forceps technique, and for some women who are likely to have a smooth delivery, they dare not try to give birth. As long as they feel that it is not possible to have a smooth delivery, they will have a cesarean. But the actual situation is that these women can give birth naturally if they use forceps to assist delivery.
Now, in order to reduce the cesarean section rate and improve the technique of midwifery, many doctors from small hospitals come to our hospital to learn about forceps surgery. In a small hospital, I was afraid to use forceps technology because of an accident. This forms a vicious circle. The more you do not use forceps to assist in delivery, the less experienced and inexperienced you are, and accidents are prone to occur when you implement forceps to assist in delivery. Therefore, mastering the technique of obstetric forceps can also help reduce the rate of cesarean section.
Of course, the forceps technique has certain risks after all, and some complications may occur. Before using the forceps, the doctor will seek the opinions of the mother and her family members. Only when unanimous consent is obtained, will the forceps be used to assist the delivery. The mother and family members can rest assured.
