Background: Various interventions have been applied to reduce perineal trauma and obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS). The efficacy of warm compresses during the second stage of labor for reducing the occurrence of perineal tears is controversial.
Objective: We aimed to compare rates of spontaneous perineal tears requiring suturing, between women who received warm compresses plus perineal massage vs perineal massage alone.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared outcomes for low-risk women who chose natural home-like delivery settings versus conventional labor wards during spontaneous labor from March 2020 to December 2022.
- Results showed no cesarean deliveries in the natural setting, while 7.4% of women in conventional settings had cesareans, and breastfeeding rates were significantly higher in the natural group (71.3% vs. 12.3%).
- Women in the natural delivery setting experienced lower postpartum pain, shorter hospital stays, and less need for analgesia compared to those in conventional settings.
Background: Health care professionals working in delivery rooms often encounter stressful situations. Understanding their challenges and the support they receive is essential for improving their well-being and consequently patient care.
Purpose: Examining the relationship between burnout, intentions to leave, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, and complex PTSD among health care professionals, and identifying their predictors.
Background: The French AmbUlatory Cesarean Section (FAUCS) technique was introduced to the Galilee Medical Center in September 2021. FAUCS was performed electively for interested women who meet the criteria.
Objectives: To evaluate the learning curve of senior surgeons performing FAUCS, the procedure short-term outcomes, and complications.
Background: Women who have continuous intrapartum support are more likely to have a shorter labor and spontaneous vaginal birth, and are less likely to need intrapartum analgesia than women who receive usual care without support. We aimed to determine what women in labor and midwives regard as the optimal number of labor supporters and whether they should be present during medical interventions.
Methods: A questionnaire was distributed to midwives participating in a national midwifery conference in June 2015.
