Value of delivery ball and free position of midwifery in promoting the delivery of primiparas

  Objective  To evaluate the value of delivery ball and free position in promoting delivery of primiparas.

  Methods  A total of 84 delivery primiparas in obstetrics department were divided into control group (n=42, traditional delivery intervention) and observation group (n=42, delivery ball and free position) according to random number table method. The delivery results of the two groups were compared.

  Results  The rate of vaginal delivery in the observation group was higher, the rate of forceps assisted delivery was lower, and the incidence of complications during delivery was lower than that in the control group(P < 0.05). The observation group had shorter first stage of labor, second stage of labor and third stage of labor, and higher sense of labor control than the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  The delivery ball and free position can shorten the delivery time and reduce the rate of cesarean section.
