This study included group of vacuum-assisted deliveries in time period 2014-2016 （n = 726） in Riga Maternity Hospital, and it was compared to the group of spontaneous vaginal deliveries （n = 726）. Data statistically processed in Microsoft Excel mid SPSS Statistics 22.0. Results of the study： in vacuum-assisted deliveries vaginal lacerations was 13.8% more, cervical lacerations was 9.8% more than in group of spontaneous vaginal deliveries, perineal lacerations were 25.6% less in group with vacuum extraction, neonatal cephalohematomas was 26.9% more, and clavicle factures was 3.3% more in vacuum-assisted deliveries. Vacuum extraction was used for the first delivery in 86.9% of cases, for the second delivery 10,9% of cases. Vacuum-assisted deliveries in comparison with spontaneous vaginal deliveries are associated with higher risks for maternal soft tissue ruptures and neonatal cephalohematomas, clavicle factures. It is important to evaluate the indications for use of vacuum extractor. Staff skills, using vacuum extraction method, should be at a high level.展开更多
