What is Vacuum-Assisted Delivery Overview about?
Vacuum-assisted delivery, also known as ventouse, uses a vacuum device to assist in vaginal delivery of the baby during the second stage of labor if progress has not been adequate. It may be used as an alternative to forceps delivery or cesarean section. Vacuum extractors have largely replaced forceps for assistance in vaginal delivery due to causing fewer injuries, though soft-cup devices detach more frequently. Complications can be minimized by recognizing contraindications to vacuum extraction use.
