“…With the use of FTF several neurodevelopmental aspects were possible to study. The results are in contrast with the few existing studies reporting on specific long-term neurodevelopmental aspects, 19–21 23 33 but these have not stratified according to the VAD type, they have smaller cohorts, and did not use validated follow-up methods.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate long-term neurodevelopment in children born after low-or mid-station vacuum-assisted delivery (VAD) compared with children delivered by second-stage caesarean delivery (SSCD) or spontaneous vaginal delivery (SVD).DesignCross-sectional cohort study.SettingTwo delivery wards, Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden.Patients253 children born by low-station or mid-station VAD, 247 children born after an SVD, and 86 children born via an SSCD accepted to participate.InterventionsThe Five-to-Fifteen questionnaire was used as a validated screening method for neurodevelopmental difficulties, assessed by parents.Main outcomes measuresResults in the Five-to-Fifteen questionnaire. In addition, registered neurodevelopmental ICD-10 diagnoses were collected. Regression analyses estimated associations between delivery modes.ResultsChildren born after VAD exhibited an increased rate of long-term neurodevelopmental difficulties in motor skills (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.3 to 3.8) and perception (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.002 to 2.9) compared with SVD. Similar findings were seen in the group delivered with an SSCD compared with SVD (motor skills: OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.8 to 6.4 and perception: OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2 to 4.4). The increased odds for motor skills difficulties after VAD and SSCD remained after adjusting for proposed confounding variables. There were significantly more children in the VAD group with registered neurodevelopmental ICD-10 diagnoses such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders.ConclusionsThe differences in long-term neurodevelopmental difficulties in children delivered with a VAD or SSCD compared with SVD in this study indicate the need for increased knowledge in the field to optimise the management of second stage of labour.

“…Existing studies have not revealed any significant differences in neurodevelopment outcome. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] The aim of this study was to study neurodevelopment in children delivered at term by low-station or mid-station VAD compared with children born after SSCD and SVD.…”

“…All instrumental interventions involve an increased risk of complications for both the mother and child. The most common complications for the mother are vaginal tearing, sphinkter damage, perineal pain and dysparenuia 2,3 For the child there is an increased risk of complications following forceps or a ventouse, such as head lacerations, cephalhematoma, subgaleal hemorrhage and very rarely intracranial hemorrhage 4 .…”

A qualitative study showing women’s participation and empowerment in instrumental vaginal births

This study shows how cooperation and empowerment of the woman are two key factors in order for the women to have a positive experience of their instrumental vaginal births. The study also shows that empowerment is created when the woman is actively engaged and participates in the birth process which gives her the feeling of being part of the team, creating an environment based on mutual understanding.
