A vacuum delivery, also known as a vacuum extraction, is a medical procedure that is sometimes done during vaginal childbirth. The doctor places a soft cup with a handle and vacuum pump to the baby’s head to help guide them down the birth canal. A vacuum delivery is typically done while the mother pushes during childbirth.
Vacuum Delivery is usually done in Primis, first-time mothers who are not able to push down, and in some who are unable to push because of exhaustion. Then the doctor may decide to proceed with vacuum delivery. This procedure cuts down the second stage by half to one hour. Sometimes a drop in the heart rate of the baby indicates fetal complications. It will require immediate delivery to avoid major damage to the baby.
Vacuum delivery is ideal for such a situation where doctors opt to take the baby out of the birth canal rapidly. Some major medical problems may create complications from pushing.
