Can you use forceps during delivery? Forceps midwifery is a common operation in obstetrics to solve dystocia, and it is also a midwifery method used in the second stage of labor. The specific operation method is a midwifery method that the forceps are placed on both sides of the fetal head, the two leaves of the forceps are buckled, and the forceps are pulled along with the contraction to assist the delivery of the fetal head.
Forceps midwifery is a very effective midwifery method when the parturient encounters difficulties in childbirth. Many expectant mothers are scared when they hear the word "forceps".
In fact, forceps are not as terrible as everyone thinks. In the process of delivery, when the fetal position is too low, the labor process is prolonged, and the fetal distress is too late for cesarean section, it is necessary to use forceps for midwifery. "
Many parents worry that forceps will hurt their children. In this regard, Dr. Li explained, "When the mother has difficulties in natural delivery, the time left for the fetus is often very short. At this time, a doctor who can give birth with forceps can take the child out in a few seconds, which can buy time for the child's health to a great extent. As for the injury that parents are worried about, the use of forceps will cause slight trauma to children at most, but if the forceps are abandoned and the fetal head aspirator is used, it is very likely to cause intracranial injury to children, which is far greater than the skin injury caused by forceps.
How is oxytocin faster than normal delivery? Under normal circumstances, most expectant mothers do not need to use oxytocin, because the human pituitary gland can secrete oxytocin, which will directly act on the myometrium of the expectant mother, promote and strengthen uterine contraction, and thus push the fetus out of the mother.
When expectant mothers use oxytocin, doctors will start with the minimum effective dose and gradually increase the dose, so as to prevent expectant mothers from being unable to adapt to the sudden pain caused by strong uterine contraction, or using oxytocin in large quantities will lead to uterine rupture. After oxytocin, the mother can have more intense contractions and promote the birth of the baby.
If the expectant mother is sensitive to drugs, oxytocin can be used for 2 or 3 hours to give birth. But if the expectant mother is not sensitive to drugs, she may have used 1 or nothing happened for 2 days. If oxytocin doesn't respond after two days' hanging, the doctor will usually advise the expectant mother to have a caesarean section.
In addition to being insensitive to drugs, if the expectant mother's cervical condition is not good, she will not be born soon after using oxytocin, and there is a risk of postpartum hemorrhage. Because oxytocin mainly promotes uterine contraction, it has little effect on the cervix. If the condition of the expectant mother's cervix is not good, the fetus will be blocked in the cervical canal, but under the impetus of the strong contraction of the uterus, the fetus will break through the barrier, tear the cervix, and even tear the uterus. The new mother will face postpartum hemorrhage and even hysterectomy.
