Amaç
The aim of this study was to compare neonatal morbidity after forceps delivery in two periods.
Yöntem
Retrospective comparative study was performed. We analysed neonatal morbidity after forceps delivery in two periods: I (1985-1988) and II (2000-2001). Obtained data was analysed by Student's t-test.
Bulgular
İn I period there were 483 forceps deliveries out of total 35.086 deliveries (1.38%), in II period 0,05.
Neonatal morbidity: Cephalhaematoma: I period 87 (18.01%), II period 3 (3.41%) t=5.60; p<0,01.
Cerebral oedema: I period 49 (10.14%)), II period 5 (5.68%) t= 1.58; p>0,05. IVH: I period 37 (7.66%), 11 period 4 (4.55%) t=1.23; p>0,05.
Fracture of the clavicule: I period 31 (6.42%), II period 1 (1.14%) t=3.33; p<0,01.
Sonuç
No significant differences between Apgar score and birth weight between two period were noticed. Due to beter judgement and rise in cesarean section rate, incidence of cephalhaematoma and fracture of the clavicule was significantly lower in second period.
