Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of warm compresses in maintaining perineal integrity for women who had vaginal deliveries with a single baby in the head-down position.
- Researchers performed a meta-analysis of 13 controlled trials involving 3,947 participants, comparing the outcomes of women who used warm compresses during delivery versus those who did not.
- Results indicated that women who used warm compresses experienced significantly less perineal trauma, fewer episiotomies, and lower pain levels, suggesting that warm compresses can improve comfort during and after vaginal delivery.
