Abstract (English)  :

OBJECTIVE: To test the safety and practicability of spontaneous deliveries with the Roma birthing wheel (RBW).

METHOD: The results of 1 year’s clinical experience (1.12.1995-30.11.1996) with the RBW at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Wilhelminenspital, Vienna, were compared with the results of a group of head-first deliveries before procuring the RBW.

RESULTS: Out of 1,555 births, 1,377 (89%) were spontaneous; 209 (15%) women used the RBW. Compared with the figures before the RBW was available, the total duration of labor was reduced by about one third; the birth canal was intact in 44% and the use of painkillers reduced by a range between 8 and 27%.

CONCLUSIONS: In spontaneous births the use of the RBW definitely has advantages, e.g., shortening of the procedure and acceptance on the part of the women; also, safety for both mother and child remains unchanged.

Etude rétrospective sur la roue Roma. La phase 2 du travail est nettement plus courte, le recours aux antalgiques plus faibles, les périnées intacts plus fréquents, sans incidence sur la sécurité de la mère et des bébés.
