RESUMEN
Antecedentes Existe evidencia que sugiere que el método de elección para resolver un parto operatorio es el vacuum extractor, sin embargo, esta recomendación no se ha incorporado a la práctica habitual en América Latina.

Objetivos:

Comparar los resultados materno-fetales de la aplicación del vacuum o fórceps.

Métodos:

Revisamos los 12 estudios controlados y randomizados que comparan los resultados materno-fetales del uso de vacuum y fórceps, publicados hasta julio de 2006.

Resultados:

El vacuum como método primario es menos efectivo que fórceps en conseguir partos vaginales, sin embargo dado que permite el uso de fórceps secundario, presenta una menor tasa global de cesáreas. El vacuum extractor se asocia a una menor tasa de lesiones maternas severas, y a un aumento en la tasa de céfalo hematomas. No existen diferencias en la tasa de mortalidad perinatal ni de otras complicaciones fetales.

Conclusión:

El uso de vacuum se asocia a una menor morbilidad materna y a una mayor incidencia de céfalo hematoma, sin aumentar la mortalidad perinatal ni las complicaciones fetales severas.
ABSTRACT

Background:

Today's evidence suggests the use of the vacuum extractor as the better method for assisted vaginal delivery; nevertheless, this recommendation has not impacted the usual practice in Latin America.

Objectives:

To compare the maternal-fetal outcomes associated to vacuum or forceps.

Methods:

We reviewed the 12 randomized controlled trials comparing the maternal-fetal outcomes of vacuum and forceps, published until July 2006.

Results:

The vacuum as a primary method is less effective than forceps in obtaining vaginal delivery; nevertheless, since secondary use of forceps is possible, vacuum exhibits a smaller global rate of caesarean section. The vacuum extractor is associated to a smaller rate of severe maternal injuries, and to an increased rate of cephalic hematomas. There are no differences in perinatal mortality or the rates of other fetal morbidity.

Conclusion:

The vacuum extractor is associated to a lower maternal morbidity and to a greater incidence of cephalic hematoma, without increasing perinatal morbidity and mortality.
