let head to crown

3. Upward and forward towards


mother’s abdomen

12
Pull Downward  Anteriorly  Upward

13
Complication

Vacuum extraction

Contraindication: Pre-requisites:
• Non-vertex presentation: • Engaged head
– Face
– Brow
– Breech • Membrane ruptured

• Preterm <34weeks • Empty bladder

• No bony resistance
below head
• Cx >6-8cm

Mnemonic for Vacuum Extraction

A Ask for help, Address the patient, and is Anesthesia


needed.

B  Bladder empty.

C  Cervix must be completely dilated.

D  Determine position

E  Equipment and Extractor ready.

16
F  Apply the cup over the sagittal suture and in relation
to the posterior Fontanelle.

G  Gentle traction in the proper axis.

H  Halt traction when the contraction is over; Halt the


procedure if you have had disengagement of the cup
three times, have had no progress in three consecutive
pulls or three "pop-offs.“

I  Evaluate for Incision (episiotomy) when the head is


being delivered.

J Remove the cup after the Jaw is delivered.
