Ivanova-Gauss Skin-Capital Forceps

Ivanova-Gauss scalp forceps are one of the most common methods of delivery for women. This method was developed by the Soviet obstetrician-gynecologist A. A. Ivanov and the German gynecologist S. I. Gauss in the 1940s.

The essence of the method is that the woman in labor lies on her back with her legs bent and knees pressed to her chest. The obstetrician-gynecologist inserts forceps into the vagina and grasps the fetal head. He then slowly lowers the woman to her knees, while the fetal head passes through the folds of skin and comes out.

This method has several advantages over other methods of delivery, such as cesarean section or vacuum extraction of the fetus. Firstly, this is a natural process that does not require surgical intervention. Secondly, it does not cause complications for the mother and fetus, such as damage to the uterus or cervix. Thirdly, it allows you to save a pregnancy if it is in danger of being terminated.

However, Ivanov-Gauss scalp forceps also have some disadvantages. For example, this method may be dangerous for the mother if she has heart or vascular disease. Additionally, it may not be effective for large fruits or those with an abnormal head position.

Overall, Ivanova-Gauss head forceps remains a popular method of delivery due to its safety, effectiveness and naturalness. However, before using this method, it is necessary to carefully assess the condition of the mother and fetus and choose the right moment for its use.

Ivanova-Gaussian skin-head forceps are used for the birth of a child with the help of a manual aid, which helps prevent possible rupture of the perineum. This type of forceps is the only method used for obstructed childbirth, and is most in demand for first aid, in the presence of the following conditions: * the child is in a breech position * there is weakness in the labor force of the woman in labor * the woman cannot bear strong pain * she has limited movement in the walls of the pelvis or in the joints

The most common reason for using this aid is the presence of a dense membrane (amniotomy), which in turn significantly complicates the passage of the head. The use of cephalocutaneous forceps is indicated when trying to remove the fetal head when the pelvic conjugate is less than 8 cm. Thus, for a successful operation, it is necessary to determine the lower border of the pelvis, the beginning of the head and the free space between them. The doctor’s preparation is carried out as follows: a certain marking is made on the woman’s pubis, and the doctor determines the size of the skin-head injection.
