Effects of two breathholding and exerting methods on the second labor course of primiparas / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

To explore the effects of two breathholding and exerting methods on the second labor course of primiparas.Methods Six hundred primiparas were divided according to the admission time into two groups the control group and observation group. The former took conventional breathholding and exerting method and the latter breathholding and exerting method with breathing techniques. The two groups were compared in terms of outcome of delivery, rate of episiotomy, time for breathholding and exerting and the hemorrhage volume 2h after delivery, perineal laceration and neonate asphyxia.Results The rate of spontaneous delivery in the observation group was higher than that in the control group. The rate of episiotomy, bleeding volume 2h after delivery and perineal laceration were lower. The breathholding time was significantly shorter(P<0.05).Conclusion Breathholding and exerting at the second stage of labor can reduce energetic consumption and improve the outcome of delivery.
