Abstract:Objective To investigate the safety and efficacy of the BirthRite sitting delivery component for delivery, and to provide reference for shortening the duration of the second stage of labor for primiparous women and improving their delivery experience. Methods A total of 236 low-risk primiparas who delivered in the hospital were divided into an observation group (120 cases) and a control group (118 cases) according to their wishes in the second stage of labor. The observation group adopted the BirthRite sitting delivery component, and the control group adopted the electric delivery bed for sitting delivery. The duration of the second stage of labor, the proportion of non-occipital anterior position, assisted vaginal delivery, postpartum hemorrhage, shoulder dystocia, episiotomy, perineal laceration, perineal edema, perineal pain, and postpartum satisfaction were observed in the two groups. The newborn birth weight and 1 min and 5 min Apgar scores were compared between the two groups. Results Two cases in the control group withdrew midway. Both groups successfully completed delivery. The duration of the second stage of labor in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group. The proportion of non-occipital anterior position, the incidence of shoulder dystocia, the rate of episiotomy, perineal edema, and perineal pain were significantly lower than those in the control group. Postpartum satisfaction in the observation group was significantly higher than the control group (all P<0.05). The Apgar scores of the newborns in both groups were 10 at 1 minute and 5 minutes after birth. Conclusion Adopting the BirthRite delivery chair can shorten the duration of the second stage of labor, improve maternal satisfaction, and optimize sitting delivery outcomes.
