OPERATIVE VAGINAL DELIVERY
IQRA YASINRESIDENT, GYNE & OBS UNIT I
SIMS/SERVICES HOSPITAL, LAHORE
INCIDENCE
■ In USA– 1990 9 %– 2006 4.5 % (out of which 3.7 % vacuum, 0.8 % forceps)
■ In UK– 10-13 %
FORCEPS
POSITION OF SAFETY
■ Posterior fontanel should be midway between the shank and 1 cm above the level of shanks; ensuring proper flexion of head and present narrowest diameter to pelvis.– If > 1 cm, then with traction, head will become extended, presenting greater
diameter to pelvis making delivery difficult.
■ Fenestration should be barely just palpable and should not admit not > 1 fingertip– If >1 fingertip is felt, then blades are not insert far enough to be below the fetal
malar eminence and will dig into fetal cheeks, causing potential fetal injury.
■ Lambdoid suture should be above and equal distant from upper border of each blades; ensuring sagittal suture in midline between the blades.
WHEN TO ABANDONED THE PROCESS?■ No progressive descend of head with moderate traction during each
contraction
■ Delivery not imminent following 3 contractions of correctly applied instruments by an experienced operator.
POST PROCEDURE
■ Manage 3rd stage of labor ■ Check the birth canal for tear/laceration: repair if needed■ Repair episiotomy if performed■ Explain care of episiotomy and provide pain relief if needed■ Assessment of neonatal by neonatologist■ DOCUMENTATION (date , time, indication and complication-if any)
FAQs
■ Who should perform OVD?
FAQs
■ Who should perform OVD?
■ ANS: A person who has knowledge, experience and skill necessary to assess to use instrument and to manage complication that may arise.
FAQs
■ Where should OVD take place?
FAQs
■ Where should OVD take place?
■ ANS: Where immediate resource to C-section can be undertaken.
FAQs
■ IF there any place of sequential use of instruments?
FAQs
■ IF there any place of sequential use of instruments?
■ ANS: this is associated with increased risk of trauma to infant. However, the operator must balance the risk of C-section following failed vacuum extraction versus risk of forceps delivery following
failed vacuum extraction.
FAQs
■ What is role of episiotomy for OVD?
FAQs
■ What is role of episiotomy for OVD?
■ ANS: In absence of robust evidence to support routine use of episiotomy in OVD, restrictive use of episiotomy using operator’s
individual judgement is supported.
FAQs
■ Should prophylactic antibiotics be given?
FAQs
■ Should prophylactic antibiotics be given?
■ ANS: there is insufficient data to support it. However, good standard of hygiene are recommended.
FAQs
■ Should thromboprophylaxis be given?
FAQs
■ Should thromboprophylaxis be given?
■ ANS: Woman should be re-assessed after the OVD for the risk factor for the VTE and if appropriate, thromboprophyalxis should be
prescribed.
FAQs
■ How should we advise woman for future deliveries?
FAQs
■ How should we advise woman for future deliveries?
■ ANS: Woman should be encouraged to aim for a spontaneous vaginal delivery in subsequent pregnancy as there is high probability of
success. However, care should be individualized for the woman who have sustained 3rd or 4th degree perineal tear.
