Résumé (français) : | Le groupe étudié était composé de 241 femmes nullipares ayant eu un accouchement spontané, en vertex, non multiple. Le taux d’épisiotomies a été de 46.1%. Des sages-femmes ont accompagné 65.1% des naissances, les autres ayant été confiées à des obstétriciens. Les médecins ont plus souvent fait appel aux étriers (p < 0.01). Parmi les 174 femmes qui ont accouché dans une position différente, les plus nombreuses étaient en position semi-assise (N = 153). |
Abstract (English) : | Spontaneous deliveries of 241 nulliparous women were analyzed to test the hypothesis that both episiotomy and use of stirrups for delivery of infants were related to the occurrence of third- and fourth-degree perineal lacerations. These deep perineal tears occurred in 0.9% of the women delivered of infants without the use of either episiotomy or stirrups and in 27.9% of the women delivered of infants with both episiotomy and stirrups. Women exposed to episiotomy alone or to stirrups alone had intermediate rates of laceration. There was no independent correlation of laceration with maternal age, 1- and 5-minute Apgar scores, or midwife or physician as delivery attendant. The results suggest that selective use of episiotomy and stirrups can minimize perineal trauma during spontaneous delivery in nulliparous women. |
