How the vacuum extractor is used
Vacuum extraction, also called ventouse delivery, is one of the two standard methods of instrumental vaginal delivery, the other being forceps. It is used in the second stage of labour, for example when progress stops or the mother is exhausted, and is carried out by trained obstetric staff.
The Bird cups are a modification of the Malmstrom metal cup, with the suction tube and the traction chain attached separately. The anterior cup is used when the baby's head is in the usual occiput anterior position. The posterior cup has its suction outlet at the side, so it can be placed further back on the head when the baby lies occiput posterior or the head is deflexed.
- The operator confirms that the conditions for a vacuum delivery are met and selects the cup type and size.
- The cup is placed over the flexion point of the baby's head and the vacuum is raised gradually.
- Traction is applied along the pelvic axis in time with contractions and maternal effort.
- The vacuum is released once the head is delivered, and the cup is removed.
- The cups are cleaned and sterilised before reuse.
