Latent Phase Membrane Stripping for Caesarean Section Reduction

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In the Hospital Escuela, the availability of beds and criteria for admission to the intensive care unit ICU are not the same, the use of this marker is questionable, as it is affected by the level of complexity of care provided to a health setting and the organization of obstetric care. The cesarean section rate (almost 63.2%), is without significant variation by different criteria.

The importance of finding strategies to reduce the rate of cesarean births and thus counteract the high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality is proposed. For this reason, this research is aimed at reducing the latent phase of labor through the use of the Hamilton maneuver.

Conditions

  • Cesarean Delivery
  • Cervical Ripening
  • Latent Phase Labour

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Hamilton maneuver

The Hamilton maneuver is performed by inserting one or two fingers through the internal cervical os and carefully producing a circumferential rotational movement through the uterine segment in order to separate the fetal membranes from the decidua. This maneuver is recommended in order to reduce the need for formal induction.
