ObjectiveTo explore the effects of the modified shoulder delivery in the application of shoulder dystocia.
MethodsA total of 84 cases with shoulder dystocia were divided into the control group (41 cases) and observation group (43 cases) according to different methods of delivery.The control group was treated with conventional delivery, and the observation group was treated with modified shoulder delivery.The incidence rate of maternal complications, degree of maternal perineal laceration, neonatal Apgar score and incidence rate of neonatal birth injury were compared between two groups.
ResultsThe total incidence rate of postpartum complication in observation group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05).There was no statistical significance in the degree of perineal laceration between two groups (P>0.05).The Agpar score and neonatal asphyxia rate in observation group were higher and lower than that in control group, respectively (P < 0.05).The total incidence rate of birth injury in observation group was lower than that in control group (P < 0.05).
ConclusionsThe modified shoulder delivery can significantly reduce the incidence rates of postpartum complications and neonatal asphyxia, minimize the incidence of neonatal birth injury, and ensure the smooth delivery of childbirth.It is worthy of promotion.
