Evaluation of the effects of appropriate perineal protection technique in reducing the rate of lateral perineal resection in primipara

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effects of appropriate perineal protection technique in reducing the rate of lateral perineal resection among primiparas.

MethodsA total of 350 primiparas who delivered vaginally and performed traditional delivery techniques were selected as the control group, and 366 primiparas who delivered vaginally and performed moderate perineal protection techniques were selected as the observation group.The incidence rate of perineal laceration, rate of lateral perineectomy, second stage of labor and postpartum 2 h blood loss were compared between two groups.

ResultsThe degree of perineal laceration in observation group was significantly better than that in control group(P < 0.01), the rate of perineal lateral resection in observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P < 0.01), and the duration of the second stage of labor and postpartum 2 h blood loss in observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group(P < 0.01).No neonatal asphyxia occurred in two groups.

ConclusionsThe implementation of moderate perineal protection technology can effectively reduce the rate of perineal laceration and lateral perineectomy of primiparas, the second stage of labor time and postpartum 2h blood loss are within the normal range, and will not increase the incidence rate of neonatal asphyxia, and which is worthy of clinical promotion.
