Vacuum Delivery
Vacuum-assisted delivery is used when labor is prolonged or the baby needs help exiting the birth canal. It involves the use of a suction device to assist vaginal delivery, often helping avoid cesarean section in borderline cases.
What It Includes:
- Controlled use of vacuum suction during delivery
- Continuous monitoring of baby’s position and heart rate
- Post-delivery observation for mother and baby
- Management of minor tears or bleeding if any
Advantages:
- Supports safe delivery when labor is not progressing
- Reduces the need for surgical intervention
- Safe for both mother and baby when used appropriately
