Vacuum Extraction

an obstetrical operation for extraction of the fetus with a special apparatus—the vacuum extractor.

Vacuum extraction entered obstetrical practice after construction of apparatus by V. Finderle (1952, Yugoslavia) and T. Malmström (1954, Sweden). In the USSR original vacuum extractors were proposed by K. V. Chachava and P. D. Vashakidze (1957) and A. I. Petchenko and I. P. Demichev (1957). The vacuum extractor consists of a set of small metallic cups (or a rubber cap) of varying sizes joined by a rubber tube to a vacuum apparatus. Removal of the fetus by vacuum extraction is achieved by the exhaustion of air (vacuum), which is done with a special syringe or electrosuction. Vacuum extraction is used when there is weak labor that threatens intrauterine asphyxiation of the fetus and in other cases. Vacuum extractors are also used to stimulate labor.

The cannula is attached to a syringe, which is used to aspirate the uterine contents and induce the onset of the “missed period.” This technique is not always effective, and sometimes a second procedure is required. It should be done within two weeks of a missed menstrual period.serial extraction the selective extraction of primary teeth during an extended period of time to allow autonomous adjustment.tooth extraction forcible removal of a tooth; called also odontectomy.vacuum extraction removal of the uterine contents by application of a vacuum, done either for delivery of a viable fetus or for an abortion.

vacuum extraction

Obstetrics Operator-assisted delivery in which suction is applied to the skull and the fetus delivered vaginally Complications Brachial plexus injury due to shoulder dystocia, scalp injuries, intracranial–especially, subgaleal–hemorrhage due to tentorial tearing and skull fractures, CNS depression, convulsions, mechanical ventilation. See Operative vaginal delivery. Cf Forceps.

vacuum extraction

A method of assisting childbirth used as an alternative to FORCEPS DELIVERY. A cup-like device is applied to the baby's scalp and firmly secured by suction. Traction can then be applied via a short chain and handle. The equipment is known as a ventouse.
