Active clinical trials for "Birth Injuries"

It is the right of both the mother and her baby to receive the best care and give birth in the best way possible for every pregnant woman. World Health Organization midwife; It defines a person trained to provide necessary care and counseling during pregnancy, at birth and after birth, to have normal births under his own responsibility, to care for the newborn and to provide family planning counseling. According to the Ministry of Health, the midwife provides these services as well as immunization, protection from infectious and social diseases, etc. He is a healthcare professional who fulfills his roles. However, in our country, pregnancy, birth and postpartum care services are primarily carried out under the control of a physician, and most of them include medical follow-up. The routine care given by midwives to pregnant women during pregnancy is unfortunately limited to performing the procedures and cannot adequately meet the needs of the woman. As a result, cesarean section rates in our country have risen well above the acceptable level by WHO. Studies have shown that the rate of cesarean section increases with the number of pregnant women who apply to the doctor for pregnancy control. Turkey is the country with the highest cesarean section rates among OECD countries. According to the 2018 results of the Turkey Demographic and Health Survey (TNSA), the rate of cesarean section in our country is 52%. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommended 10-15% cesarean section rate in terms of maternal and infant health in 1985, and re-evaluated this recommendation in 2015. Women who have had a cesarean delivery have greater risks compared to women who have had a vaginal delivery. One of the most common complications after cesarean section is sepsis, and maternal mortality rates increase due to complications such as bleeding and infection after cesarean section. In addition, the choice of cesarean section, which negatively affects many variables such as epigenetically transmitted fear of birth and traumatic birth perception, breastfeeding and microbiota of the baby, is an important factor that will affect future generations. Cesarean section rates, which also cause high maternal and neonatal complication rates, have become a problem that increases health expenditures economically all over the world. However, cesarean section rates are decreasing in countries where midwives play an active role in pregnancy follow-up. In the midwife-led continuous care model (MLCC), which is carried out by midwives, especially in countries with high normal birth rates, care is completely woman-centered. The model advocates vaginal delivery, which is the most superior form of delivery for maternal and infant health. Studies show that midwife-led continuous care increases vaginal birth rates, women experience a more positive birth, and reduces many unnecessary medical interventions. Within the scope of this care model, midwives train pregnant women from the beginning of pregnancy to the postpartum period and minimize their fear of childbirth based on the fear of the unknown. Another advantage of MLCC is that care will be given by the same midwife or midwife group. This ensures a good bond and uninterrupted communication between the woman and her midwife. This maintenance model is not yet used in our country. The study to be carried out with this training process planned within the scope of MLCC is unique in that it will be carried out for the first time at the national level. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of training to be given with MLCC in reducing cesarean section preferences.

Since all the follow-up and care of the pregnant during the prenatal period are carried out by the midwives, the care provided by the midwives to the women during the prenatal period plays a key role for the woman to have a comfortable and healthy pregnancy. Midwives should take psychological approaches in order to reduce the negative feelings of women before cesarean section. Considering all these, it is thought that Emotional Freedom Technique, which does not require any invasive intervention, is inexpensive and easy to apply, will contribute to women's feeling better by reducing pre-cesarean anxiety, surgical fear and traumatic birth perception.

Pregnancies in women with pre-existing diabetes are considered "high risk" pregnancies, poses daily clinical challenges and in terms of research - a number of unanswered questions. Therefore, the investigators wish to establish a nationwide cohort of pregnancies complicated by pre-existing diabetes - the Danish Diabetes Birth Registry (DDBR2) The DDBR2 registry comprises all types of pre-existing diabetes including T1D, T2D and other types (as MODY), generating a nationwide cohort of mother/partner/children trios with accessible registry-, clinical data and biological biobank samples. This will enable the investigators to use data longitudinally to examine short- and long-term outcomes of pregnancies in women with diabetes.

The investigators are studying the ability of a novel rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol to provide more accurate and earlier information about whether an infant with brachial plexus birth palsy will require nerve surgery.

This study has two components, an observational and a trial component. The observational part is being done to screen for postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder by collecting mental health assessments in women who are immediately postpartum for up to 6 weeks. Additionally, the project has a small number of subjects that will participate in a clinical trial in which they would self-select to receive one dose of hydrocortisone intravenously while they are in the hospital. This pilot of up to 20 participants in the trial arm is designed to create a first indication of whether this could become an effective early intervention to prevent PTSD if given while trauma memories are first being formed. This registration will list the observational part (number of participants =100) as well as the clinical trial (number of participants =20).

Midwives and obstetricians are currently using acupuncture for several health problems during pregnancy and childbirth. The investigators wish to determine whether acupuncture can be used as pain relief during the repair of lacerations in the female pelvic floor following childbirth. Three acupuncture points in the ear have been reported highly effective for perineal pain relief. A scientific trial will compare acupuncture with traditional local anaesthetics when midwives conduct perineal repair just after delivery in the hospitals of Southern Denmark.

It is unknown if primary delivery of the anterior or the posterior shoulder causes less perineal tear. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the incidence and degree of perineal trauma after primary delivery of the anterior shoulder compared to primary delivery of the posterior shoulder during vaginal birth in primiparous women in a randomized controlled trial. The hypothesis is that primary delivery of the posterior shoulder reduces the rate and degree of perineal trauma.

Introduction: Training of health professionals in neonatal resuscitation reduces risks and adverse events during this intervention. Simulation-based education with constructive immediate feedback (debriefing) is an effective teaching method for personnel in charge of neonatal resuscitation. Objective: To evaluate two debriefing strategies for the development of neonatal resuscitation skills in professionals specialized in critical newborn care. Materials and Methods: A simple blind randomized clinical trial was conducted. Twenty-four professionals (pediatricians, nurses, and respiratory therapists) were randomly assigned for two interventions; one group received oral debriefing and the other oral debriefing assisted by video. Three standardized clinical scenarios that were recorded on video were executed. A checklist was applied for the evaluation, administered by a reviewer blinded to the assignment of the type of debriefing. Null hypothesis: The improved in the skills of neonatal resuscitation is the same for both strategies of debriefing. Alternative hypothesis: The improved in the skills of neonatal resuscitation is different for both strategies of debriefing

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new rubber material used to make prosthetic replacements of the face lost to cancer, trauma, or birth defects.

This study will carry out as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to examine the effect of early skin-to-skin contact on mother-infant attachment and traumatic birth perception and to provide new information to the literature. The sample of the study consist of 350 women who apply to the Training and Research Hospital in the city center of Batman between December 2021 and May 2022, and who agreed to participate as the study group (n:175) and the control group (n: 175), who had a normal delivery in the delivery room. hascreated. "Personal Questionnaire Form", "Traumatic Birth Perception Scale" and "MaternalAttachment Scale" forms were used in the analysis of the data. Data analysis was done with SPSS 24 program
