- Operative vaginal delivery (OVD) uses instruments like forceps and vacuum to assist in childbirth, but complications for mothers are under-researched in Ethiopia, highlighting a need for better understanding and early intervention.
- A study was conducted between December 2019 and November 2021, analyzing 326 medical records out of 1000 OVD cases to identify maternal complications and their contributing factors, utilizing statistical methods for analysis.
- Results revealed that 19% of cases had maternal complications, with significant associations found related to the instruments used, the position of the baby during delivery, the baby's weight, and the duration of the delivery's second stage.
