A Comparative Study of Immediate Fetomaternal Outcome between Outlet Forceps and Ventouse in Instrumental Vaginal Delivery
Abstract: Objective: Instrumental vaginal delivery is used to ease out normal vaginal birth where cesarean section can be avoided. Methods: In here a comparative study was performed between two groups were in one case instrumental vaginal delivery was performed with outlet forceps and the other with ventouse. Results: A comparison of neonatal and maternal morbidity was analyzed using various parameters among the groups. Instrumental delivery is found to be used more in case of nulliparous woman and there is no significant difference (p= 0.457) observed between forceps and ventouse. Conclusion: In conclusion there was no significant difference observed in case of neonatal morbidity but in case of maternal morbidity there was more incidences of extension of episiotomy involving anal sphincter in forceps delivery.
