A multicentre study on the effect of moderate perineal protection technique: a new technique for perineal management in labour.

We conducted a large-sample study in six midwifery centres to estimate the effectiveness of Moderate Perineal Protection technique during spontaneous delivery. 31,249 women accepted the traditional technique were selected as control group, and 57,056 women accepted the Moderate Perineal Protection t...

      ab: We conducted a large-sample study in six midwifery centres to estimate the effectiveness of Moderate Perineal Protection technique during spontaneous delivery. 31,249 women accepted the traditional technique were selected as control group, and 57,056 women accepted the Moderate Perineal Protection technique as the observation group. There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics between the two groups. The perineal episiotomy rate decreased (22.913% vs. 32.161%, p < .05), the perineal integrity significantly increased (43.505% vs. 36.384%, p < .05) and perineal trauma reduced in the observation group when compared to the control group (54.630% vs. 61.239% in first degree tears, and 1.826% vs. 2.340% in second degree tears, p < .05). The neonatal asphyxia rate in the observation group was lower than that in the control group (p < .05). The observation group also had a higher rate of total satisfaction, lower VAS score for perineal pain, shorter postpartum hospitalisation days, lower rate of postpartum urinary retention and postpartum incontinence (p < .05). We concluded that the Moderate Perineal Protection technique is safe, effective and worth promoting widely.Impact statementWhat is already known on this subject? In order to reduce the episiotomy rate and reduce perineal injury, some researches have been carried out and some perineal techniques have been evaluated, but there are still many aspects to improve.What the results of this study add? Moderate Perineal Protection technique can effectively reduce episiotomy rate, protect perineal integrity, improve neonatal outcomes and increase maternal satisfaction.What the implications are of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? The Moderate Perineal Protection technique is an effective and safe technique worth clinical promoting widely. Further research could focus on the long-term effects of Moderate Perineal Protection technique, such as pelvic floor injury and long-term mother-child outcomes.
