What are the complications of fetal head aspiration

summary

Women in childbirth due to certain circumstances have to do fetal head suction to let the baby born, but the operation will also produce some risks, if not done well, it will cause some complications, let's talk about the complications of fetal head suction.

What are the complications of fetal head aspiration

First: maternal complications: cervical laceration: due to incomplete uterine opening, vaginal examination to determine the situation of uterine opening. Vulvovaginal laceration: it is mainly caused by too small perineal incision or poor elasticity of vaginal wall tissue. If necessary, sufficient episiotomy should be performed. Vaginal hematoma: because the vaginal wall is caused by suction, careful examination must be carried out after rotating the suction device to exclude the compression of soft tissue. It is unnecessary to deal with the hematoma when it is small.

Second: internal hemorrhage: according to the treatment of neonatal internal hemorrhage. Bone injury: related to excessive suction negative pressure or excessive traction. Most of them are linear bone fractures, which can self heal without treatment. The rare depressed fracture can affect the brain tissue and should be treated by surgery. The maternal and infant complications can be avoided by good and standard operation. The injury is slight, and most of them do not need special treatment.

Third: the necessary condition for suction head before operation: fetal survival. There is no obvious cephalopelvic disproportion, and the fetal head has entered the basin. The entrance of the palace has been opened. The biparietal diameter of the fetal head has reached the plane of the ischial spine, and the first exposed bone has reached 3cm or less below the ischial spine. If the fetal membrane is broken, artificial rupture of membrane should be performed first. Pelvic stenosis or cephalopelvic disproportion. Facial position, frontal position, high straight position or other abnormal fetal position. Severe fetal distress.

matters needing attention

The maternal and infant complications caused by fetal head aspiration can be avoided by standardized operation. If the complications are not serious, they can be cured by appropriate treatment. If they are serious, they need special treatment.
