Although medicine is relatively advanced nowadays, there are still certain risks associated with women giving birth, especially during vaginal delivery where unexpected situations may occur due to differences in physical constitution. Artificial membrane rupture is a common problem encountered in production, so is it considered difficult to produce naturally?
Firstly, artificial membrane rupture is the deliberate tearing of the thin film at the cervix to observe the color of amniotic fluid and stimulate uterine contractions to promote production. It is a commonly used method in natural childbirth and is not considered difficult delivery. But it is necessary to judge whether normal delivery can be achieved based on the body's reaction after membrane rupture. If the amniotic fluid condition is not good, then a cesarean section surgery is needed.
Secondly, if there is poor uterine contractions during delivery, membrane rupture can also be used to strengthen contractions and shorten the labor process. After rupture, it should be observed for about an hour. If there is no significant increase in uterine contractions, oxytocin can be given to strengthen contractions and promote delivery. After rupture, close observation of uterine contractions should also be conducted.
Artificial membrane rupture is aimed at women who cannot have slow uterine contractions and cannot rupture the membrane on their own. However, it is also necessary to consider the various problems that membrane rupture may cause, such as fetal distress caused by excessive uterine contractions or the risk of placental abruption, which can lead to obstetric emergencies. Choosing the appropriate timing for artificial membrane rupture is still beneficial for delivery, as it can help to timely understand the condition of the fetus in the uterus and reduce the rate of neonatal asphyxia.
