Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of moderate perineal protection delivery method in natural childbirth. Methods A total of 160 parturients who underwent natural childbirth in the Jiujiang University Affiliated Hospital from January 2019 to July 2020 were selected as the research subjects, they were divided into the control group and the observation group by random number table method, 80 cases in each group. The control group was given unprotected perineal delivery method, and the observation group was given moderate perineal protection delivery method. The degree of perineal laceration, postpartum 24 h pain (visual analog scale [VAS] score), the occurrence of perinea lateral incision, postpartum hemorrhage, and neonatal status (asphyxia rate, weight, Apgar score) were compared between the two groups. Results The rate of perineal laceration,postpartum 24 h VAS score, incidence rate of perineal lateral resection and incidence rate of postpartum hemorrhage in observation group were lower than those in control group, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in neonatal asphyxia rate and body weight between the two groups (P>0.05). The neonatal Apgar score of observation group was higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Moderate perineal protection delivery method has a significant application effect in natural childbirth. And it can effectively reduce the occurrence of maternal perineal laceration, perineotomy, postpartum hemorrhage and pain. It is helpful to improve the physiological status of newborns, thus it is recommended for clinical application.
