Abstract
The obstetric vacuum extractor, or ventouse, has been considered and promoted as the instrument of choice for operative vaginal delivery in the U.K because randomized trials and meta-analysis comparing it with forceps demonstrated less maternal trauma with the vacuum, despite increased neonatal morbidity and failure to deliver with the ventouse (Groom et al., 2006).
Essentially, all vacuum extraction devices consist of a cup made of soft or rigid material, which can be attached to the fetal scalp, a vacuum pump that provides suction for the cup’s attachment and a traction system that allows the operator to assist the mother with the birth. Consistently good results with the vacuum extractor, however, depend upon achieving correct applications of the cup on the fetal scalp (Vacca, 2001).
The aim of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of the Kiwi Omnicup in comparison with the conventional ventouse in routine clinical practice.
The current study conducted in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, after permission of the ethical committee, on women in whom operative vaginal delivery will take place.
