Τοκετός με σικυουλκία Explanation: Η σικυουλκία αποτελεί μία εναλλακτική της εμβρυουλκίας μέθοδο εξελκυσμού του εμβρύου, κατά την οποία αντί να γίνει σύλληψη της κεφαλής του εμβρύου ως επί εμβρυουλκίας, προσκολλάται στο τριχωτό μέρος του κρανίου του εμβρύου μια σικύα (βεντούζα) με τη δημιουργία κενού μέσω αναρροφητικής συσκευής και εν συνεχεία έλκεται η κεφαλή της σικύος προς τα κάτω. (Λουφόπουλος και συν. Επεμβατικός Τοκετός. Ελληνική Μαιευτική & Γυναικολογία 20(2):132-138, 2008) A vacuum extraction — also called vacuum-assisted delivery — is a procedure sometimes done during the course of vaginal childbirth. During a vacuum-assisted vaginal delivery, a health care provider applies the vacuum — a soft or rigid cup with a handle and a vacuum pump — to the baby's head to help guide the baby out of the birth canal. This is typically done during a contraction while the mother pushes. (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/vacuum-extractio... |
