Full textINTRODUCTION: During vaginal childbirth approximately 70-80% of women will sustain damage to the muscles that separate the vagina from the anus and this is called childbirth related perineal trauma. This can be from either a natural tear of the superficial perineal muscles or a surgical cut (episiotomy). However, research evidence into ongoing complications of perineal pain and dyspareunia from superficial perineal muscle injuries is lacking. MAIN OBJECTIVE: To analyse childbirth related perineal injury impact on a mother's health after spontaneous vaginal birth in relation to postpartum perineal pain and dyspareunia. In order to carry out this thesis, the following studies have been identified: OBJECTIVES, METHODS AND RESULTS: STUDY ONE: Objective: To determine the incidence of perineal pain and dyspareunia, following spontaneous vaginal birth (SVB) with an intact perineum, first- and second- degree perineal trauma or episiotomy. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken. Searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL were performed with selection criteria of any study evaluating the effect of intact perineum, first- or second-degree perineal trauma on perineal pain, or dyspareunia in women with SVB following the PRISMA recommendations. Results: 18 studies (8 RCT and 10 NRS) fulfilled the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. 14 studies reported data on postpartum perineal pain and 12 on dyspareunia. Meta-analysis of 16 studies (3,133 women related to perineal pain and 1,475 regarding dyspareunia) showed that at 2 days postpartum there was no difference in incidence of perineal pain between women who had suffered a perineal injury and those who had an intact perineum. When resuming sexual intercourse, the incidence of dyspareunia was high, regardless of whether there was perineal trauma or not. The greater the degree of perineal trauma suffered, the greater the incidence of perineal pain and postpartum dyspareunia were. STUDY TWO: Objective: To assess perineal pain and dyspareunia in relation to the complexity of the damage of each superficial perineal muscle (bulbospongiosus and superficial transverse perineal muscles) during SVB. Methods: A prospective cohort study of 405 women with a SVB at the General Hospital of Granollers (Granollers, Barcelona) was done. Perineal pain and dyspareunia in relation to an intact perineum, first degree perineal trauma or superficial perineal muscle trauma were measured up to 6 months postpartum. The study was performed in adherence to STROBE guidelines Results: Intact perineum and 1st degree perineal trauma (n = 205) were allocated in the non-exposure group and 2nd degree and episiotomy (n= 200) formed the exposure group. Women with perineal muscle injury reported higher incidence of perineal pain and dyspareunia than those in the non-exposure group. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of perineal pain and dyspareunia between women who suffered an injured which involved <50% of the bulbospongiosus muscle thickness and those who suffered a first-degree perineal tear. The incidence of perineal pain and dyspareunia was significantly higher when >50% of the bulbospongiosus muscle thickness torn, with or without superficial transverse perineal muscle trauma, was compared to <50% of the bulbospongiosus muscle thickness trauma. STUDY THREE: Objective: To explore the main health concerns for women with childbirth related perineal trauma and ongoing clinical management. Methods: A literature review was undertaken. Searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL were performed, using the MeSH "delivery", "perineal injury", "perineal pain", "dyspareunia", "instrumental vaginal delivery", "anal incontinence", "Prolapse ", “urinary incontinence", "perineal clinic". Results: 35 studies were included. The main issues reported were perineal pain, dyspareunia, wound infection/breakdown, anal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. A perineal clinic, led by midwives, is the most appropriate way to clinically care for women who experience these morbidities. CONCLUSIONS: After spontaneous vaginal birth women suffer from perineal pain and dyspareunia regardless of the presence or absence of perineal trauma. When 2nd degree trauma occurs, spontaneously or surgically (episiotomy), the highest incidence of both postpartum perineal pain and dyspareunia are reported by women who suffer >50% of the bulbospongiosus muscle thickness trauma. Other problems related to childbirth perineal trauma are wound infection/breakdown, anal incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. Perineal or postpartum pelvic floor clinics are the most appropriate way to clinically manage ongoing morbidities for these women.

Introdu??o: Os m?sculos do assoalho p?lvico (MAP) correspondem a um conjunto de m?sculos esquel?ticos que est?o localizados na base da cavidade p?lvica. Estes m?sculos s?o ativados em diferentes situa??es em que h? o aumento da press?o intra-abdominal. Sua integridade e bom funcionamento s?o fundamentais na manuten??o da contin?ncia urin?ria e fecal e na sustenta??o aos ?rg?os p?lvicos. Existem diversas t?cnicas de avalia??o da MAP respaldadas pela literatura, dentre elas a perineometria. Os perine?metros t?m por objetivo medir as altera??es de press?o na vagina em resposta ? contra??o volunt?ria dos MAP. Os equipamentos de perineometria s?o simples, minimamente invasivos e de baixo custo. Apesar de ser uma medida objetiva do grau de press?o desempenhado pela contra??o volunt?ria dos MAP, a perineometria n?o possui intervalos de classifica??o que guiem a interpreta??o dos seus resultados cl?nicos. Objetivo: Desenvolver uma escala de classifica??o da perineometria. Metodologia: Estudo de car?ter observacional, transversal. A amostra foi resultante de um processo de amostragem do tipo n?o probal?stico. As mulheres foram recrutadas por demanda espont?nea. Foi realizada uma avalia??o perineom?trica e o Teste Muscular Manual dos MAP, por meio do toque bidigital, categorizando-se a for?a pela Escala Modificada de Oxford. Os dados coletados foram tabulados e analisados no programa IMB Statistical Package for the Social Sciences vers?o 20.0. Para determinar os valores de classifica??o da perineometria foi realizada uma regress?o linear simples, tendo como vari?vel explicativa a Escala Modificada de Oxford e como vari?vel resposta a m?dia aritm?tica das tr?s medidas da perineometria. A regress?o linear foi realizada no programa estat?stico R vers?o 3.2.4. Resultados: Foram inclu?das na an?lise 259 mulheres, que apresentaram m?dia de idade de 52,80 (? 8,78) anos. A perineometria apresentou uma m?dia de 35,1? 22,7 (IC: 32,1 ? 38,0) cmH2O. A mediana do grau de for?a dos MAP foi tr?s (Q25: 2; Q75: 3). Houve uma correla??o forte, positiva e estatisticamente significativa entre o grau de for?a pela escala modificada de Oxford e a perineometria (r = 0,846, p < 0,01). A estratifica??o das medidas perineom?tricas foi realizada em uma escala de cinco pontos, que varia de uma press?o muito fraca a uma forte press?o. De acordo com a escala proposta, valores entre 7,5 e 14,5 cmH2O correspondem a uma press?o muito fraca; o intervalo de 14,6 a 26,5 cmH2O ? equivalente a uma press?o fraca; uma press?o moderada est? no intervalo de 26,6 a 41,5 cmH2O; valores de 41,6 a 60,5 cmH2O representam uma press?o boa e valores acima de 60,6 uma press?o forte. Conclus?o: Os valores de perineometria foram estratificados em uma escala de cinco pontos. Pela observa??o dos resultados, a partir dessa escala ? poss?vel estabelecer e classificar os intervalos de press?o desempenhada pela contra??o volunt?ria dos MAP. O resultado alcan?ado neste trabalho possui implica??es na pr?tica cl?nica, uma vez que guiar? os especialistas e as pacientes quanto o grau da for?a muscular. Para a literatura, promove-se, pela primeira vez, a apresenta??o de uma escala com valores padr?es da perineometria.
Introduction: Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) correspond to a group of skeletal muscles that are located at the basis of the pelvic cavity. These muscles are activated in different situations in wich there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Its integrity and good functioning are fundamental in maintaining urinary and fecal continence and in sustaining the pelvic organs. There are several PFM evaluation techniques supported by the literature, such as the perineometry. Perineometers are aimed to measure pressure changes in the vagina in response to voluntary contraction of PFM. Perineometry equipments are simple, minimally invasive and inexpensive. Althought it is an objective measure of the degree of pressure performed by the PFM voluntary contraction, perineometry does not have rating ranges that guide the interpretation of its results. Objective: To develop a classification scale for perineometry. Methodology: A cross-sectional observational study. The sample was the result of a non-probalistc type sampling process. Women were recruted on spontaneous demand. A perineometric evaluation and the manual strength test of the PFM were performed by means of the bidigital touch, and the force was categorized by the Oxford Modified Scale. The collected data were tabulated and analyzed in the program IMB Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 20.0. To determine the classification ranges of perineometry, a simple linear regression was performed, using as an explanatory variable the Oxford Modified Scale and as a response variable the arithmetic mean of the three measurements of perineometry. The linear regression was performed in the statistical program R version 3.2.4. Results: The 259 women included in the analysis had a mean age of 52.80 (? 8.78) years. Perineometry presented an average of 35.1 ? 22.7 (CI: 32.1 - 38.0) cmH2O. The median PFM strength level was 3 (Q25: 2; Q75: 3). There was a strong, positive and statistically significant correlation between the degree of strength by the Oxford Modified Scale and perineometry (r = 0.846, p <0.01). The stratification of the perineometric measurements was performed on a five-point scale, ranging from very weak pressure to strong pressure. According to the proposed scale, values between 7.5 and 14.5 cmH2O correspond to a very weak pressure; The range of 14.6 to 26.5 cmH2O is equivalent to a weak pressure; A moderate pressure is in the range of 26.6 to 41.5 cmH2O; Values of 41.6 to 60.5 cmH2O represent a good pressure and values above 60.6 is a strong pressure. Conclusion: Perineometric values were stratified on a five-point scale. By observing the results, from this scale it is possible to establish the ranges of pressure exerted by the voluntary contraction of the PFM. The achieved result in this work has implications in clinical practice, since it will guide the specialists and the patients about the degree of muscular strength. For the literature, is promoted for the first time the presentation of a scale of perineometry classification standards.

Full textIntroduction: Most vaginal delivery are accompanied by spontaneous perineal lacerations. However there is a lack of knowledge related to prevalence, characteristics and risk factors of these lacerations in the literature. Aims: 1. To characterize the spontaneous lacerations in normal birth; 2. To analyze the spontaneous perineal lacerations in normal birth, according to socio-demographic, clinical and obstetric conditions during pregnancy and childbirth and the conditions of the newborn; 3. To evaluate morbidities related to spontaneous perineal lacerations until 48 hours after delivery. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Amparo Maternal maternity unit, São Paulo, BR. The data was collected from October, 2011 to January, 2012. There were included 100 women aged 18 years; fullterm pregnancy; single live fetus and vertex presentation; normal birth with spontaneous laceration. The primary outcomes were type, area, degree, shape and size of spontaneous lacerations, using the Peri-Rule. Descriptive and inferential analyzes were appraised using the chi- square test, Student\'s t-test, ANOVA and Pearsons correlation, with p-value<0.05 indicated as statistically significant. Results: 51% of women had single laceration and 49% multiple ones; 58% had anterior perineum lacerations, 80% in the posterior area and 23% in the vaginal wall; 77.5% had 1st degree, 20% 2nd degree and 2.5% 3rd degree lacerations (without complete rupture of the anal sphincter); 62.5% of lacerations were linear, 35% were \"U\" shape and 2.5% star shape. The average length of lacerations was 28.6 mm (sd ± 12.9) in the anterior area; the average length of the mucosa in the posterior area was 26.1 mm (sd ± 10.5), the length of skin was 24.3 mm (sd ± 10 4) and the depth was 18.1 (± 8.6); the average length of the vaginal wall was 19.8 mm (sd ± 6.5). In order to calculate the average size of lacerations, the highest value for each woman was considered. There were significant differences for the following variables: area (anterior and posterior perineum area and vaginal wall) and maternal age; degree (first, second and third) and perineal exercises during pregnancy, presence of perineal edema during labor, type of pushing, fetal position variety and size of head circumference; shape (linear, \"U\" or star) and perineal exercise during pregnancy, use of misoprostol, type of pushing, head delivery position and head circumference; size of lacerations in the posterior perineum area (skin length) and perineal edema, perineum height and use of oxytocin; size of lacerations in the anterior perineum area (mucosa length) and maternal age, use of misoprostol and weight of the newborn; length of the laceration on vaginal wall and perineal edema. There was no statistically significant difference in the type of laceration (single or multiple). Major postpartum perineal morbidities were blazing, edema, hematoma, ecchymosis and pain. Conclusion: The posterior perineum area was the most affected and the average size of lacerations varied according to the affected area. The occurrence of third degree lacerations and the frequency of lacerations in the vaginal wall indicate the importance of careful evaluation of the anal sphincter, as well as the birth canal, even if when the is no apparent solution of continuity in the perineum.

Full textThe literature maintains that Xenarthra and isolated with its long existence may be the light to understand the evolution of placental mammals. The armadillo Euphractus sexcinctus is endemic in South America and has been poorly search. The morphology and the relationship between hard and soft tissues of the female genital, pelvis and perineum of nine adult animals has been described using techniques: mesoscopy, microscopy (electron and light) and computed tomography. The anatomical design of the pelvis and perineum of the Euphractus sexcinctus presented baseline characteristics, being an excellent study model to understand the development of tetrapods. The perineal region contained the trines (anal and urogenital) and pubic area exhibited the external genital with clitoral pronounced by the absence of labia, with different mammalian recent cliteropenis presenting feature similar to that of crocodiles, this enables interesting questions about the importance of maintenance of such protruding genitalia. The bones of the pelvis in the adult animal had cast up, constituting the sinsacrum. Regarding the internal genital tract, the extensive length of the cervix in relation to the uterus called the attention, probably because the bulk of the pelvis minor has been filled by coccygeal muscles. Than this muscles pushed the uterus to the pelvis higher. The ovaries, oviducts and vagina resembled recent mammalian organs, so there appeared no evolutionary novelties. The placenta in animal studies (Chaetophractus villosus, Chaetophractus vellerosus and Euphractus sexcinctus) were classified as highly invasive and hemochorial, differing between species in the layout of the chorionic villi in contact with the uterus.

Full textIntroduction: Pregnancy and childbirth can have an influence on the muscles and pelvic floor and can cause morbidities of the genito-urinary tract, either transient or permanent. Objectives: 1. To compare the average strength of pelvic floor muscle (SPFM) during pregnancy and postpartum period according to maternal age, race, marital status, dyspareunia, nutritional status, characteristics of the stool, type of delivery, conditions of the perineum and weight of the newborn; 2. To compare the values of SPFM by the methods of perineometry and digital vaginal palpation. Method: We formed a prospective cohort, including 226 primigravidae, who were attended by five basic health units of the city of Itapecerica da Serra, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The participants were followed in four stages: 1. up to 12 weeks of gestation; 2. between 36 and 40 weeks of gestation; 3. until 48 hours after birth; 4. between 42 and 60 days after delivery. Data collection was conducted between February 2007 and August 2008. In stages 1, 2 and 4 the SPFM was evaluated by perineometry and digital vaginal palpation. The final sample were 110 women, who completed the four stages of the study. The research was approved by a Research Ethics Committee. Results: The SPFM of the women did not change significantly during pregnancy and postpartum period (ANOVA: p = 0.78). In all the three stages, prevailed a low intensity SPFM (in mmHg: stage 1 = 15.9; stage 2 = 15.2, stage 4 = 14.7), with 0 to 3 degrees on the Oxford scale. There was no statistically significant difference between average perineometry, in mmHg, in stages 1, 2 and 4. The SPFM did not differ in relation to maternal age, race, marital status, dyspareunia, nutritional status, characteristics of the stool, type of delivery, conditions of the perineum and weight of the newborn. The analysis of the correlation between the SPFM values, evaluated by both methods, indicated a significant positive correlation (Spearman coefficient: p = 0.0001), in the three stages. Conclusion: Pregnancy and childbirth did not reduce significantly the SPFM. The perineometry and digital vaginal palpation are valid methods to assess the SPFM, with good acceptance by women. Digital vaginal palpation is a simple method, which does not require special equipment, but the professional, who uses it, must be adequately prepared to assess the SPFM. In clinical practice, this method is effective to support the diagnosis of urinary, intestinal and sex dysfunctions. Regarding perineometry, its use is more important to perform perineal exercises with biofeedback, for treating these disorders

Full textHyaluronidase (Haas) is a complex enzyme that acts on the connective tissue. There are several studies on the implementation of Haas in the perineal area in order to reduce the incidence of episiotomy and spontaneous lacerations Despite positive results, methodological limitations of these studies justify the controversy about the benefits of its use in spontaneous delivery. The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of trauma and the degree of perineal lacerations in vaginal deliveries, with and without the use of injectable Haase in the posterior region of the perineum. This is a randomized clinical trial, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, conducted in 2008 in the Amparo Maternal Birth Center located in São Paulo city. The sample of 156 pregnant women were randomly allocated to experimental groups (n = 76) and control (n = 80). We included only women with singleton pregnancies, pregnancy to term without previous vaginal deliveries and who had spontaneous delivery in semi-sitting position without anesthesia by intra or extra-dural. In the second stage of labor, women in the experimental group received injections of Haas in the posterior perineal area and those of the control group received injections of placebo. The vials of solution were previously masked and identified by code number. The assessment of perineal outcome was also performed under masked by a nurse-judge. For the inferential analysis of data, we performed the Fisher exact test, so tailed and were considered statistically significant p values <0.025. The results showed that the perineal integrity (absence of any laceration in the posterior region of the perineum or episiotomy) occurred in 34.2% of women in the experimental group and 32.5% in the control group, no statistically significant difference between groups (p = 0.477). The severe perineal trauma (second and third degree lacerations and episiotomy) occurred in 28.9% of women in the experimental group and 38.8% in the control group, no statistically significant difference (p = 0.131). The depth of the perineal laceration of 2nd degree in experimental and control groups measured by the Peri-Rule ®, was 1.9 and 2.3 cm, respectively. Episiotomy was performed in 11 pregnant women and four women in the control group had 3rd degree lacerations. Among women in both groups, the most common trauma in the posterior region of the perineum was the first degree (56% and 42.6% in the experimental and control groups, respectively). The only perineal changes observed between 24 to 48 hours after delivery, were swelling or bruising, present in 14.7% and 32.5% of women in the experimental and control groups, respectively. The average head circumference of newborns was higher among women with episiotomy and 3rd degree tears, with CI of 95% not matched to the cases of integrity and perineal laceration at 1st and 2nd degrees, suggesting that the extent head circumference of newborns whose mothers undergo episiotomies was larger than the other babies. Almost all of the newborns had Apgar scores greater than or equal seven in the first and fifth minutes of life (94.2% and 99.4%, respectively), indicating good vitality at birth. All babies roomed-in with the mother during hospital stay. It was concluded that the use of injectable Haase did not increase the proportion of intact perineum and did not reduce the proportion of severe perineal trauma in our sample

Full textThis study describes the elements for prevention and healing of perineal trauma during childbirth learned in obstetric nursing courses. Using a qualitative approach, the objective was to identify aspects of the obstetrician nursing training process and its intersection with the nursing practice. Such perspective, theoretical-practical, is adequate for this research, making possible to identify aspects of the teaching-learning process in the education on prevention and healing of the perineum traumas during childbirth in the obstetric nursing courses, in order to know how the theory can affect the nursing practice based in scientific evidence. The study was carried out in the city of São Paulo. Ten institutions of higher education were part of the sample (universities and colleges). They have curriculum for nursing and offer or have offered a specialization in obstetrical nursing between 1995 and 2005. Nine coordinators and ten professors of those institutions were interviewed. The interviews followed a script, different for coordinators and professors. The answers were categorized in \"Perineal trauma and its prevention\" and \"Educational base for professional intervention in normal delivery and perineum care\". Scientific, theoretical and practical knowledge are indispensable and theory and practice cannot be disassociated. Practical knowledge must be developed in a laboratory with all the necessary equipment, so the student can acquires skills in healing of perineum trauma and gains experience in taking care of women during labor and delivery

Full textIntroduction: Perineal pain is a frequent event in the postpartum period. However, there is no agreement between pain intensity association with maternal factors, neonatal factors and obstetric care received during labor and delivery. Objectives: To identify the prevalence and intensity of perineal pain in the first day of postpartum after vaginal delivery; to analyze the association between intensity of perineal pain and maternal sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric history, obstetric care during labor, delivery and postpartum period and newborns characteristics, and to analyze the association between intensity of perineal pain and the interference score in the implementation of maternal activities. Methods: Cross-sectional study, a data collection undertaken in the postnatal ward. The sample consisted of 596 mothers interviewed in their first postpartum day after. Data were collected trough interview and review of medical records. The intensity of pain was measured with the Numeric Visual Scale (0 10). The chi-square tests were used with Monte Carlo simulation and ANOVA and variables with p0.20 were related by ordinal logistic regression. The significance adopted was 5% for all statistical tests. Results: The prevalence of perineal mean pain was 38.3% and the pain intensity 4.6 (SD=1.9), classified as moderate. The absence of perineal pain was associated with the absence of trauma (p<0.001) and multiparity (p=0.012). Mild pain was associated with primiparity (p=0.012), education more than 12 years (p=0.001) and episiotomy (p<0.001). The moderate pain was associated with studying 12 years or more (p=0.001) and any of a perineal trauma (p<0.001). Severe pain was associated with an episiotomy (p<0.001). Studying up to 8 years was a protective factor against the increase in one perineal pain intensity category (OR 0.5; 95% CI 0.3 to 0.9) and 2nd degree tear in childbirth increased by 3.4 times the chance of a higher in a category of pain intensity (OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.7 to 6.9). The perineal pain interfered significantly in carrying out all activities surveyed, except for the fecal evacuation. CONCLUSION: Greater perineal pain intensities are associated with having studied for 12 years or more, of study more than one perineal trauma and an episiotomy. The perineal pain interferes in the activities of the women during the postpartum period

Resumo: Introdução: A incidência da doença de Crohn Perineal (DCP) varia entre 20% a 25% nos portadores de doença de Crohn . O padrão-ouro para a investigação da DCP é a avaliação clínica clássica seguida do exame sob anestesia, mas a ultrassonografia endoanal (USEA) e a ressonância nuclear magnética (RNM) da pelve podem ser úteis na pesquisa de abscessos, fistulas e lesões esfincterianas que podem levar à incontinência fecal e perda da qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Correlacionar a avaliação clínica clássica da função esfincteriana por meio do escore de Jorge-Wexner nos pacientes com DCP, comparando com os achados de USEA, através do escore de Starck. Casuística e Método: Vinte e quatro pacientes participaram do estudo, sendo 14 do sexo feminino e média de idade de 40,54 anos. Todos os doentes tinham diagnóstico confirmado de DCP, sendo que 7 (29,16%) também apresentavam acometimento do intestino delgado; 7 (29,16%) do cólon e reto, 2 (8,33%) do intestino delgado, do cólon e reto e 8 pacientes (33,33%) apresentavam DCP como manifestação única da doença. Resultados: Os dois escores apresentaram distribuição normal, com escore de Jorge-Wexner médio de 3,8333 (DP 4,52689) e escore de Starck médio de 9,7500 (DP 2,54097). A análise estatística mostrou não haver correlação entre os dois escores, com um intervalo de confiança de 95%. Conclusão: O escore de Jorge- Wexner apresentou utilidade limitada nessa categoria de pacientes, enquanto a USEA foi ferramenta útil para alcançar melhor correlação com deficiência muscular esfincteriana. No entanto, mais estudos com propostas similares são necessários para aumentar a validade desses achados e para estabelecer se a USEA pode predizer a função esfincteriana e a incontinência fecal antes de procedimento cirúrgico em pacientes com DCP
Abstract: Introduction: The incidence of perianal CD (PCD) is variable between 20% and 25% of patients with CD. The gold standard for assessment of PCD is still the classic clinical examination followed eventually by examination under anesthesia (EUA) but complementary examinations like endoanal ultrasound (EAUS) and magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis (MRI) were introduced as useful to completely assess the anatomical lesions of the sphincteric muscles caused by fistulas and abscesses. Objective: Verify the adequacy of the classical clinical evaluation to which most of the patients are submitted, in particular regarding the adequacy of assessing the sphincteric function through the Jorge- Wexner score in patients with PCD, comparing it with the findings of EAUS trough a score published by Stark and colleagues. Patients and Methods: Twenty four patients participated to the study, being 16 females and the mean age is 40.54 years old. All patients have an established diagnosis of PCD, being 7 (29,16%) with a diagnosis of CD involving the small bowel, 7 (29,16%) CD involving the colon and rectum, 2 (8,33%) CD involving the small bowel and the colon-rectum, and 8 (33,33%) have a diagnosis of PCD as the only clinical manifestation of CD. Results: The two scores has a normal distribution, with a mean Wexner score of 3.8333 (SD 4,52689) and a mean Starck score of 9,7500 (SD 2,54097). The statistical analysis showed that there is no correlation between the two scores with a confidence interval of 95%. Conclusion: The Jorge-Wexner score had a limited usefulness in this category of patients, whereas EAUS was an useful tool for achieving better correlation with muscle deficiency. This study investigated CD, a very particular and still not fully understood disease, being the perianal disease important feature of CD. However, more studies with similar purpose are needed, in order to improve the validity of these findings, and establish if the EAUS can predict the sphincter function and fecal continence before perianal surgery for CD

Full textIntroduction: The ice pack, the main non-pharmacological method for relieving perineal pain, seems to be effective if applied for 10, 15 or 20 minutes. But its use is not standardized, once it lacks robust evidence on timing and frequency of applications, which hinders the effective and safe use of this therapy in obstetric practice. Aim: To evaluate if a 10 minutes ice pack application is relieving postpartum perineal pain and if its analgesic effect is maintained for up to 2 hours. Method: A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was performed in a birth center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The sample size consisted of 69 primiparous women 18 years old, within 6-24hrs after spontaneous vaginal birth with perineal pain 3 by use of a numeric rating scale, who had neither received anti-inflammatory medication after childbirth nor analgesics within the previous 3hrs. The sample was stratified according to the perineal condition after childbirth into intact perineum or 1st degree laceration and 2nd degree laceration or episiotomy. Random allocation into experimental and control group occurred separately in each stratum. In the experimental group, women received a single ice pack application to the perineum for 10 minutes. In the control group, women did not receive an ice pack. The primary outcome was a reduction by at least 30% in perineal pain intensity, immediately after the application and the secondary, was the maintenance of the analgesic effect for up to 2hrs. Perineal pain was measured using the numeric rating scale (0-10, 0 = no pain and 10 = worst pain imaginable), at three points of time: before, immediately after and 2hrs after applying an ice pack. Findings: Before the intervention, there were no significant differences between the experimental and control group regarding sociodemographic characteristics, facts related to childbirth and perineal pain intensity. Immediately after the intervention, pain intensity was more reduced in the experimental group (4.0 vs. 0.7, p <0.0001), and the proportion of women whose perineal pain decreased by 30% or more was also higher in this group (82.9% vs. 17.6%; p <0.001). Within two hours, there was no significant difference in the mean pain levels in both groups. However, the proportion of women whose mean pain intensity decreased by at least 30% was higher in the experimental group (82.9% vs. 44.1%; p = 0.002). The number needed to treat was 3 (95% CI 2-7). Furthermore, the percentage of women whose perineal pain intensity has not increased since the application of ice was 61.9% for the experimental group and 89.3% for the control group, respectively. For the remaining participants, levels of perineal pain were increasing after an average time of 1hr45 (95% CI 1hr34-1hr57) and 1hr56 (95% CI 1hr51-2hr01) for the experimental and control groups, respectively, with significant difference. Conclusion: Application of an ice pack for 10 minutes is effective for relieving postpartum perineal pain for 1hr45 to 2hrs. Moreover, it is a well-accepted method by women and allows them to better perform their daily activities

Resumo: Objetivo: Avaliar a influência do parto vaginal espontâneo ou instrumental por fórcipe na contração muscular do assoalho pélvico de primíparas e na incontinência urinária (IU). Métodos: Estudo de coorte prospectivo, realizado no Hospital Universitário da Faculdade de Medicina de Jundiaí (HU-FMJ). Foram selecionadas 133 primíparas, no puerpério imediato, com idade entre 18-35 anos, que tiveram parto vaginal com episiotomia espontâneo ou instrumental por fórcipe. A contração dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (MAP) foi avaliada 40-55 dias após o parto, por meio de eletromiografia de superfície - EMGs (avaliando-se tônus de base ¿ TB, contração voluntária máxima - CVM e contração sustentada média - CSM) e por graduação de força segundo Escala de Oxford Modificada (graus 0-5). Avaliou-se a presença de IU durante a gestação e puerpério, utilizando o Internacional Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Os métodos estatísticos utilizados foram teste de Qui-Quadrado (X2) ou exato de Fisher para comparar proporções e teste Mann Whitney para comparar médias. Resultados: A média de idade foi de 22,3 anos (±4,2), o IMC gestacional foi de 27,6 Kg/m2 (±5,1). Apenas 44 mulheres realizaram avaliação puerperal, sendo uma descontinuada, 72,1% submetidas ao parto vaginal (PV) e 27,9% ao parto fórcipe (PF). A ocorrência de laceração perineal foi mais frequente no grupo PF (33,3%) do que no grupo PV (3,2%), mas as complicações devidas à episiotomia foram relatadas em apenas 7,0% dos casos, todos no grupo PV. A prevalência de IU foi de 37,6% durante a gestação e 39,5% no puerpério, sendo 32,3% do grupo PV e 58,3% do grupo PF. Houve mais IU desencadeada no puerpério no grupo PF [RR=3,10 (IC=95% 1,16-8,28); p=0,0468]. O sintoma urinário predominantemente referido no puerpério em ambos os grupos foi a urgeincontinência (29,5%), e a média do escore ICIQ foi 2,3 (±3,8) para o grupo PV e 4,2 (±3,9) para o grupo PF, não havendo diferença significativa entre os grupos. Apresentaram grau reduzido de força muscular 66,7% das puérperas do grupo PF e 27,6% do grupo PV. Os valores médios encontrados para TB, CVM e CSM do grupo PV foram 4,6?V, 23,2?V e 16,8?V e do grupo PF 3,4?V, 14,2?V e 10,7?V, respectivamente, havendo diferença significativa para TB e CVM. Conclusão: Entre as mulheres do estudo em questão observou-se associação do parto fórcipe com a diminuição da função dos MAP 40-55 dias após o parto na graduação de força por palpação e parâmetros eletromiográficos de TB e CVM, sem associação com IU
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the influence of the spontaneous or instrumental vaginal delivery by forceps in the muscular contraction of the pelvic floor of primiparas and urinary incontinence (UI). Methods: Prospective cohort study, carried out in the University Hospital of the Faculty of Medicine of Jundiaí (HU-FMJ). 133 primiparas in the immediate puerperium, aged between 18-35, that have had vaginal delivery with spontaneous or instrumental episiotomy by forceps were selected. The contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) was evaluated 40-55 days after delivery, by means of surface electromyography - EMGs (evaluating tonus of basis - TB, maximum voluntary contraction - MVC and average of sustained contraction - ASC) and by muscle strenght graduation according to the Modified Scale of Oxford (degrees 0-5). The presence of UI during pregnancy and puerperium was evaluated according to the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF). The statistical methods used were the Qui-Square test (X2) or the accurate Fisher indicator to compare ratio and the Mann Whitney test to compare averages. Results: The average age was 22,3 years old (±4,2), gestacional BMI was 27,6 Kg/m2 (±5,1). Only 44 women returned for the puerperal evaluation and one volunteer was discontinued, 72.1% gave birth via spontaneous vaginal delivery (VD) and 27.9% via instrumental vaginal delivery (FD). The occurrence of perineal laceration was more frequent in the FD group (33.3%) than in the VD group (3.2%), but complications due to episiotomy were reported in only 7.0% of the cases, all in the VD group. There were more UI triggered puerperium in the group PF [RR=3,10 (CI=95% 1,16-8,28); p=0,0468]. The prevalence of UI was of 37,6% during pregnancy and 39.5% in the puerperium, where 32,3% of the VD group and 58,3% in the FD group. The urinary symptom predominantly related in the puerperium in both groups was the urge incontinence (29.5%), and the average of the ICIQ score was 2,3 (±3,8) for the VD group and 4,2 (±3,9) for the FD group, without significant differences between the groups. Showed reduced degree of muscular strength 66,7% of the puerperal in the FD group and 27.6% of the VD group. The found average values for TB, MVC and SVC in the VD group was 4,6 ?V, 23,2?V and 16,8?V and in the FD group was 3,4 ?V, 14,2?V and 10,7?V, respectively, with significant difference for TB and MVC. Conclusion: Among the women of the study concerned noted an association of forceps delivery and the reduction of the function of MAP was observed 40-55 days after delivery in the graduation of muscle strenght for palpation and electromyographic parameters of TB and MVC, not associated with UI

Full textIntroduction: Perineal pain is a common morbidity after vaginal delivery. The cryotherapy, application of cold for therapeutic purposes, is effective for its relief, besides being a low cost practice, easy preparation and compatibility with breastfeeding. However, one still does not know the duration of the analgesic effect of cryotherapy when applied to the perineal region. Objective: To evaluate the duration of perineal analgesia in multiparous, after applying ice pack for 20 minutes in normal postpartum. Method: This is an uncontrolled clinical trial conducted in the rooming at a maternity hospital in São Paulo. The study included 50 women aged 18 years or above, who had experienced at least one prior vaginal delivery free of clinical or obstetric complications, who did not receive epidural anti-inflammatory nor analgesic over the past 3 hours prior to study entry and who experienced perineal pain equal to or greater than 3 points, between 6 and 24 hours of postpartum. The intervention, in which the temperature of the perineum, ice pack, environment and armpit were controlled, was performed by a single application of ice packs on the perineal region for 20 minutes. Participants were assessed at three moments: 1) before cryotherapy (T0); 2) immediately after cryotherapy (T20); 3) 120 minutes after the cryotherapy (T120). For the assessment of pain, the numerical scale from zero to ten was used, zero and ten representing no pain and excruciating pain respectively. Results: The mean age was 27.1 years (sd=5.4); 52% had completed high school; 40% were brown; 90% lived with a partner; 52% had paid job and 62% had as companion during childbirth. The perineal trauma occurred in 58.0% of participants, of whom 44.0% suffered first degree spontaneous laceration and 14.0% second degree laceration or episiotomy. As for numerical variables, the averages observed were: the complain of perineal pain occurred with 11.6 hours (sd=0.2) of postpartum, axillary temperature of 36.3ºC (sd=0.6), environmental temperature of 25.8°C (sd=1.6), perineum initial temperature of 33.2°C (sd=0.8) and birth weight of 3.305g (sd=454). The means of pain intensity showed significant differences over time (Friedman test p < 0.0005). Between T0 and T20, there was a statistically significant reduction in perineal pain (5.4 and sd=1.8 versus 1.0 and sd=1.7). Comparing the intensity of perineal pain between T20 and T120, one could find that there was no statistically significant difference (1.0 and sd=1.7 versus 1.6 and sd=2.4), corresponding to the maintenance of the analgesic effect. The average time for the return of perineal pain was evaluated, after cryotherapy, as 94.6 minutes (95% CI: 84.8, 104.5 minutes), estimated by the survival curve. Conclusion: The application of ice packs for 20 minutes in the perineum of normal multiparous in the postpartum promotes pain relief with significant reduction of its intensity and maintenance of analgesic effect for up to 120 minutes, requiring reassessment after this period. Cryotherapy was considered by the women as a comfortable procedure, generating satisfaction by reduction of pain and promotion of well-being.

Full textThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ice pack application in perineal pain after vaginal delivery. It is a randomized clinical trial controlled and was held at the Birth Center of the Amparo Maternal, in Sao Paulo. The population was divided in three groups - Experimental, which used ice packs on the perineum, Placebo, which used water packs at room temperature, and Control, which did not use any treatment. The inclusion criteria were: age 18 years, nulliparous women, cephalic presentation, time between 2 and 48 hours after normal birth, noting perineal pain 3, no medical or obstetric complications and newborn (NB) in good condition.The exclusion criteria were: Raynaud\'s syndrome and refusal or withdrawal of the packs. The packs were applied during twenty minutes. In all three groups the temperature of perineum, pack, environment and armpit were controlled. For pain assessment a numerical scale from 0 to 10 was used, zero for no pain and ten for unbearable pain. After approval by the Research Ethics Committee of the School of Nursing of the University of São Paulo, the data was collected in January and February 2008. For this study, 117 women were considered eligible but 3 refused to participate; the remaining 114 were divided in three groups of 38. The average age of the women was 22.2 years, 83.3% had high school education, 89.5% lived with a partner, 49.1% had paid jobs, 84.2% were not Afro-descendants and 50.9% had their husband as companion in childbirth.The perineal trauma occurred in 94.4% of the women, 64.0% of them with episiotomy. As numerical variables the averages were: 20.6 h time of postpartum perineal pain, 3254 g weight of newborns, 3.4 cm length of perineal trauma, 36.5 °C armpit temperature, 26.9 °C temperature of environment and 32.7 ° C perineum initial temperature. There were similarities in all groups, in all the variables studied for characterization. The average initial temperature was 27.2 °C for water packs and 3.8 °C for ice packs. Twenty minutes after intervention, the average perineal temperature was 34 °C in the control group, 30.9 °C in the placebo group and 12.6 °C in the experimental group. Comparing the pain average at the beginning and after 20 minutes, it was observed that in the three groups (control, placebo and experimental) there had been a significant reduction of pain (p <0.001). In the comparison between groups it was found that the experimental group had a lower pain average than the control group (1.6 versus 3.3, p = 0.032). There was a significant difference (p = 0.003) in the percentage of improvement in perineal pain among the three groups. The experimental group reported the greatest pain relief, with 22 (57.9%) mothers showing improvement above 50% and 13 (34.2%) reporting improvement between 30 and 50%. When comparing the average pain between 20 and 40 minutes and between 40 and 60 minutes no statistical difference was found within each group and among the control, placebo and experimental groups. It follows that the use of ice packs for twenty minutes was effective for perineal pain relief after vaginal delivery

Full textIntroduction: An episiotomy is a surgical widening of the perineum largely used in the childbirth, despite the fact that its routine use has not been justified by scientific evidence. It is associated with pain and discomfort in the postpartum period. The Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has been pointed out in the literature as a promising technology for the treatment of wounds. It has the effects of reducing pain and inflammation and healing stimulation. Objective: Evaluate the effects of low intensity laser therapy in the healing of the perineal region and in the frequency and magnitude of perineal pain, after right mediolateral episiotomy. Method: Parallel, triple blind randomized clinical trial, with a sample of 54 mothers who were divided into experimental (received laser irradiation) and control group (received simulated radiation). Postpartum women were included in the study from 6 to 10 hours after birth in the Rooming-in Unit of the Hospital of the University of São Paulo. Inclusion criteria were: age 18 years, gestational age 37 and <42 weeks, no previous vaginal delivery, to have a spontaneous delivery of a singleton fetus in cephalic presentation with right mediolateral episiotomy, absence of infection, hemorrhoids, bruises or varicose veins in the vulvoperineal region; no perineum preparation during pregnancy, no use of photosensitizing drugs and no clinical or obstetric complications. We excluded women who had used any product other than soap and water in the vulvoperineal region. The LLLT intervention consisted of three irradiations (first: from 6 to 10 hours after birth, second: from 20 to 24 hours after birth and third one from 40 to 48 hours after the first application), using infrared diode laser, with a semiconductor active medium Aluminum-Gallium-arsenide (GaAlAs), a size spot of 0.04 cm, 2 5J/cm2 energy density, power of 20 mW, and length of irradiation of 10 seconds per point. In each session, the episiotomy was irradiated in nine different points, with a total of 0.2 J per point and a total energy of 1.8 J per session. To simulate the irradiation, the tip that emits the red laser was modified by the manufacturer, who replaced the infrared laser by a guiding light in the same pen that emits the laser. In both groups, the perineal wound healing was assessed at four time moments: before the three irradiations and from 7 to 10 days after hospital discharge, through the scale Echymosis Discharge Aproximation Redness Edema (REEDA). The perineal pain was assessed in seven occasions: before and after the three sessions of irradiation and in one occasion from 7-10 days after birth, using numerical scale from 0 to 10 and questioning the woman on the presence or absence of pain. Data collection was carried out between June and October 2011. Results: We randomized 54 women (29 in the experimental group and 25 in the control group). Eleven women were lost in the follow-up, in the last evaluation (7-10 days). Both groups were similar with regard to the variables: maternal age in years, body mass index, gestational age, weight of the newborn in grams; Apgar score at 1, 5 and 10 minutes and head circumference in centimeters; episiotomy length in centimeters, number of pregnancies, births and miscarriages, skin color, education, profession, marital status, presence of caregiver, the number of analgesic doses and interval between the intake of analgesics and evaluation. The spinal anesthesia was more frequently used in the control group (p = 0.043). Regarding the healing, the groups did not differ in any assessments of the REEDA scale. Regarding the means of perineal pain, the groups differed on the following occasions: the experimental group had higher means of pain scores in the evaluation before (experimental group 4.5, control group 2.0, p = 0.002), and after the first irradiation (experimental group 4.1, control group 2.0, p = 0.008), and after the third irradiation (experimental group 1.5, control group 0.6, p = 0.019). Regarding the presence of pain, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in different stages of evaluation. There was no statistically significant differences between the two groups, both regarding the mean reduction of pain before and after laser irradiation in percentage and regarding an improvement <30% and 30% in the three moments when the intervention was performed. The procedure was evaluated as very good by 44.4% of women, as good by 53.4% and as bad by 2.2% of them; 95.6% of women who had the procedure reported that would have it again. Conclusion: The use of LLLT had no effect on wound healing or in the frequency and magnitude of perineal pain in women with episiotomies after spontaneous vaginal delivery, with the dosage and number of sessions used in this study.

Full textIntroduction: Pregnancy is considered a factor that favors the onset of urinary (UI) and anal incontinence (AI) as it can weaken the pelvic floor muscles. Objectives: 1. To analyse the pelvic floor muscles strength (PFMS) of women during pregnancy; 2. To analyse the UI and AI of women during pregnancy; 3. To identify the interference of UI in women\'s life. Methods: Prospective cohort study conducted with pregnant women in an insurance health care facility, in Guarulhos, SP. The 500 women who began prenatal care and met the inclusion criteria were included in a continuous period of time, from November 21, 2012 to September 17, 2013. Gestational age was considered the exposure; PFMS, urinary and faecal continence and UI interference in woman\'s life were considered the outcomes. The pregnant women were followed in three steps: Step 1, gestational age below 13 weeks; Step 2, from 20 to 27 weeks; Step 3, from 31 to 38 weeks. The PFMS was evaluated by perineometry (Peritron) and UI and AI by interview. There was adooted the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF). Descriptive, inferential and multivariate analysis was performed. The Research Ethics Committee of USP School of Nursing approved the project. Results: A total of 500, 226 and 187 pregnant women were respectively evaluated in the steps 1, 2 and 3 of the cohort. The losses to follow-up analysis indicate these were random and did not influence the outcomes. The PFMS did not vary significantly during pregnancy, with a mean of 30.5 (SD=17.3), 29.2 (SD=14.9) and 28.7 (SD=15.5) cmH2O in steps 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Considering the 30cmH2O as cut off, most of the women had the PFMS under this in all steps (p=0.055). The incidence of UI during pregnancy was 18.6% and the prevalence was 19.0%, 42.5% and 35.3% in the first, second and third trimesters, respectively (p<0.001). The incidence of AI was 5.4% and the prevalence ranged from 7.5% to 11.5%. Throughout pregnancy, ICIQ-SF score averages ranged from 7.8 (SD=4.8) to 8.3 (SD=4.0). In the multivariate analysis, the variables that together explain the variation in the PFMS during pregnancy were gestational age (per week: r= -0.09; 95%CI -0.16 to -0.02), previous pregnancy (each pregnancy: r= -1.73; 95% CI -3.20 to -0.25), previous UI (r= -3.03; 95% CI -5.96 to -0.11) and perineal exercises (r= 2.37; 95% CI 0.48 to 4.26). To explain the variation in the UI, the variables were: gestational age (second trimester: OR=5.26; 95% CI 3.44 to 8.02; third trimester: OR=3.34; 95% CI 2.09 to 5.31), previous UI (OR=5.62; 95% CI 3.93 to 8.04), PFMS >30cmH2O (OR=0.58; 95% CI 0.41 to 0.82), perineal exercises (OR=0.53; 95% CI 0.31 to 0.89) and maternal age (per year: OR=1.05; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.08). Just prior AI (OR=11.13; 95% CI 6.70 to 18.50) is associated with AI during pregnancy. Conclusion: Perform perineal exercises at least twice a week increases the PFMS and reduce the occurrence of UI during pregnancy. The PFMS>30cmH2O is also a protective factor against UI during pregnancy. The chance to have UI is higher in the second trimester of pregnancy and in women with previous UI. The impact of UI on the women\'s life can be considered moderate

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: It appears that registered midwives prefer not to cut episiotomies which results in an increase in perineal tears. This may be the case as a result of current controversies regarding episiotomies, lack of suturing skills due to insufficient training and evaluation, or the fact that the necessity of an episiotomy are not recognised timeously. In light of this the incidence of perineal trauma during deliveries in public healthcare institutions in the Western Cape was evaluated from a nursing perspective. The midwife can playa significant role in the prevention of unnecessary perineal trauma by applying particular precautions in practice. Triangulation was used as the research method. Seven public healthcare institutions in the Western Cape were included in this study. Nurses completed 45 questionnaires while 33 deliveries and 25 cases of suturing of perineal wounds were evaluated according to a pre-compiled checklist. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with registered midwives and medical practitioners involved in the training of nursing students. According to findings it appears that nurses do not recognise the risk factors to be contributory causes of perineal tears. Furthermore, it appeared that 46% of registered midwives did not feel competent enough to suture perineal wounds. Disparities were identified pertaining to the training of student nurses as well as the continuous training and evaluation of registered midwives regarding the suturing of perineal wounds. It is recommended that a uniform policy should be formulated concerning guidelines for the cut and suturing of episiotomies and lacerations. Furthermore, a uniform classification system regarding perineal trauma should be formulated as well as a uniform system to evaluate the competency of midwives.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Dit blyk dat geregistreerde vroedvroue nie graag 'n episiotomie knip nie, met 'n gevolglike toename in perineale skeure. Dit is moontlik as gevolg van die huidige kontroversie betreffende episiotomies, óf hegtingsvaardighede wat nie voldoende is nie te wyte aan gebrekkige opleiding en evaluering, óf die noodsaaklikheid van 'n episiotomie word nie betyds ingesien nie. In die lig hiervan is die voorkoms van perineale trauma tydens verlossings in openbare gesondheidsinstellings in die Wes- Kaap vanuit 'n verpleegkundige perspektief geëvalueer. Die vroedvrou kan 'n beduidende rol speel in die voorkoming van onnodige perineale trauma deur die toepassing van sekere maatreëls in haar praktykvoering. Triangulasie is as navorsingsmetode gebruik. Sewe openbare gesondheidsinstellings in die Wes-Kaap is in hierdie studie ingesluit. Vyf-en-veertig vraelyste is deur verpleegkundiges voltooi terwyl 33 bevallings en 25 hegtings van perineale wonde volgens 'n voorafopgestelde kontrolelys geëvalueer is. Semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude is gevoer met geregistreerde vroedvroue en geneeshere wat by die opleiding van verpleegstudente betrokke is. Volgens die bevindings blyk dit dat verpleegkundiges nie die risikofaktore as aanleidende oorsake van perineale skeure herken nie. Hulle verkies ook om nie episiotomies te knip nie en sal eerder 'n perineale skeur heg. Dit het verder geblyk dat 46% van die geregistreerde vroedvroue nie bevoeg gevoel het om perineale wonde te heg nie. Leemtes is geïdentifiseer ten opsigte van die opleiding van studentverpleegkundiges asook voortgesette opleiding en evaluering van geregistreerde vroedvroue ten opsigte van hegtingstegnieke. Aanbevelings sluit in dat 'n eenvormige beleid geformuleer moet word ten opsigte van die riglyne vir die knip en hegtings van episiotomies en skeure, 'n eenvorminge klassifikasiesisteem van perineale trauma asook 'n stelsel van evaluering van geregistreerde vroedvroue se bevoegdheid.

Full textIntroduction: One of the important concerns regarding the perineum is the trauma caused by the vaginal delivery and perinealrepair. The ideal perineal repair technique should be quick, painless, easy to perform in order to decrease pain in the puerperium. The scientific evidence indicates that the most suitable technique and material for the repair of perineal trauma are continuous suture and the polyglactin 910 rapid absorption thread. However, in the first and second degrees lacerations, despite promoting good healing, the suture is associated with perineum pain. The surgical adhesive is a tool used in several surgeries and medical specialties, had high resistance and is ease to manage during the surgical procedure, which seems to be an effective alternative for perineal repair. Objective: To determine the feasibility of a clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the use of surgical adhesive in the repair of first-degree perineal trauma during vaginal delivery. Methods: Parallel, controlled and randomized pilot study comparing the outcomes of the use of surgical adhesive glue Epiglu (ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate) and Vicryl Rapide (polyglactin 910) thread in perineal repair. The research was performed at Pronto Socorro e Maternidade Zoraide Eva das Dores, Itapecerica da Serra-SP, Brazil. The sample comprised 20 women with first-degree perineal trauma that need repair during normal delivery, distributed in experimental group (EG, n=10, undergoing repair with Epiglu) and control group (CG;n=10, undergoing repair with Vicryl Rapide). The primary outcome was the occurrence and intensity of perineal pain after delivery and secondary outcomes were healing process, the womans satisfaction on perineal repair and the time spent by the professional to repair the trauma. The outcomes were evaluated by the 11-point Visual Numeric Scale for perineal pain intensity; REEDA Scale for perineal healing; Visual Analogue Scale for womens satisfaction; digital stopwatch for counting the repair time in both suture techniques. Data were collected in four stages: up to 2 hours after delivery, 12-24 hours, 36-48 hours and 10-20 days postpartum. Results: In all study stages, the average of the intensity of perineal pain among women in EG was significantly lower than CG (variation of 2.0-0.2 in EG and 2.5-0.6 in CG). In all stages, perineal healing showed significantly better REEDA scale scores among women in EG, (variation of 0.6-0.0 in EG and 1.8-0.7 in CG). The womens satisfaction with perineal repair was significantly higher in EG (100% were satisfied or very satisfied), compared with CG (10% to 20% were unsatisfied or very unsatisfied). The average time for perineal repair was 5 minutes in EG and 21 minutes in CG (p<0.001). Conclusion: The results of the study were important to compare perineal repair methods and calculate the sample size for the future RCT. In addition, we showed that is possible to adopt the perineal repair technique with Epiglu developed in the pilot study, as well as the same outcomes and postpartum follow-up periods. Protocol: The study was registered in the Brazilian Clinical Trials Registry http://www.ensaiosclinicos.gov.br/rg/RBR-2h84gt/

Full textIntroduction: Pregnancy, labor and delivery may influence the muscles of pelvic floor, which can cause transiently or permanently decreased of muscle strength, urinary incontinence and dyspareunia. Objective: 1. Identify the pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) in primiparous women after normal birth and cesarean section between 50 to 70 days postpartum; 2. Compare PFMS in primiparous women according to the type of delivery, sociodemographic, clinical and urogynecological woman characteristics, perineal exercise, birth data, perineal conditions and newborn clinical data. Methods: A Cross-sectional study conducted in the Municipal Maternity and Basic Health Units in the city of Itapecerica da Serra, Sao Paulo, Brazil. The sample consisted of 96 primiparous women, 24 after vaginal delivery and 72 after cesarean section, which met the inclusion criteria. The PFMS was evaluated by perineometry (PeritronTM 9301, Laborie). Descriptive analysis and analysis of variance with one and two factors were performed. The Research Ethics Committee of the University of São Paulo School of Nursing approved the research (CAAE: 13545113.5.0000.5392). Results: In total 169 women were recruited, of which 96 (56.8%) constituted the sample, and 73 (43.2%) were excluded because they did not return for the evaluation of PFMS two months after delivery. The average age was 21.7 (±4.8) years, most of women self-defining as mixed ethnicity (brown) (56.3%), have between 10 and 12 years of education (75%), living with a partner (78 1%) and not having a paid job (61.5%). The average PFMS in primiparous women was 24.0 cmH2O (±16.2) and 25.4 cmH2O (±14.7) after normal birth and caesarean section, respectively, with no significant difference (p=0.697). The sociodemographic variables presented no significant difference in PFMS, except for the years of study variable (p=0.036); from 12 years of study, normal birth women showed higher PFMS values compared to the cesarean women (42.0 ±26.3 cmH2O versus 14.6 ±7.7 cmH2O). For the clinical characteristics and urogynecological no difference was observed in PFMS according to type of delivery. The perineal exercise performed during pregnancy had an effect on PFMS in primiparous women after normal birth compared to those undergoing cesarean section (42.6 ±25.4 cmH2O versus 11.8 ±4.9 cmH2O; p=0.010). For the other variables (birth data, perineal conditions and newborn data) there were no significant differences in PFMS according to the type of delivery. Conclusion: There was no difference in PFMS of primiparous between women after normal birth and cesarean section. Primiparous women after normal birth, with 12 or more years of study had higher PFMS. Women who did perineal exercises in pregnancy had the highest PFMS after normal birth.

Full textIntroduction: The childbirth can affect the pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS), with possible morbidity in the genitourinary and anal tracts in a transitory or permanent way. Objectives: 1. To investigate the prevalence of urinary tract infection, urinary incontinence, anal incontinence and dyspareunia, in primiparas with 50 to 70 days (2months) and 170 to 190 days (6 months) after delivery. 2. To analyze the PFMS variation, through perineometry in primiparas according to the type of delivery, mothers age, school background, skin color, marital status, occupation, body mass index (BMI), urinary tract infection (UTI), urinary incontinence (UI), anal incontinence (AI), perineal exercises, dyspareunia, interventions and conditions of the perineum during childbirth and of the newborn baby (NB), at 50 to 70 and 170 to 190 days after birth. Methodology: Prospective cohort with 99 primiparas recruited from a public maternity in Itapecerica da Serra, Sao Paulo. The data collection was realized in three steps: the 1st, from the hospital admittance until the hospital discharge; the 2nd and 3rd, 50-70 days and 170-190 days after delivery, respectively, in which we measured the PFMS. The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee at the University of Sao Paulo Nursing School (CAAE:13545113.5.0000.5392). Results: Taking into consideration the period prior to the pregnancy, there was an increase of 13.1 percent points (p.p.) in the prevalence of UI during gestation and a decrease of 16.1 (p.p.) and of 21.2 (p.p.) at two and at six months postpartum, respectively. The prevalence of AI was of 6.1% at two months postpartum and, at six months, only one woman remained with flatus incontinence. At two and six months, the prevalence of dyspareunia was referred to by 44.3% and 9.5% of women, respectively. Despite the greater average of womens PFMS after normal labor in comparison with the c-section (22.0 and 21.0 cmH2O versus 26.8 and 24.4 cmH2O, at the 3rd step, respectively), there was no statistical difference (p=0.508). The bivariate analysis showed statistical difference in the PFMS average regarding age (p=0.001) and the perineal exercise remained near the significance (p=0.054). We did not observe interactions between age and exercise during steps 2 and 3. There was also significant association between the PFMS of women who reported UTI (p=0.012) and those with no UI (p=0.021). A greater PFMS was obtained among the participants who were not anesthetized (p=0.028), with statistical difference. The PFMS did not differ as to the variables skin color, marital status, occupation, BMI, dyspareunia, labor interventions and the NB conditions. The analysis by the longitudinal predictive model showed statistical association between age, exercise and PFMS, indicating decrease in the PFMS of 0.709 each year in the womans life and increase of 3.359 cmH2O in the PFMS average in those who carried out perineal exercises. Conclusion: The PFMS does not differ as to the delivery type. The primiparas, with UTI and without UI, who carried out perineal exercises and who did not receive local anesthetic presented greater statistical PFMS. It was not possible to perform a comparative analysis of the AI due to the low number of occurrences. The prevalences of UI, AI and dyspareunia were smaller within six months after childbirth.

O processo de institucionalização do parto e nascimento trouxe importantes avanços e melhorias para a atenção à mulher e ao neonato, porém veio acompanhado de um conjunto de práticas obstétricas padronizadas e intervencionistas, utilizadas de forma rotineira caracterizando o modelo tecnicista. Durante a evolução e desenvolvimento da assistência obstétrica, o períneo feminino ganhou visibilidade, tornando-se com frequência, um local de intervenção cirúrgica. A partir da década de 1980, em resposta aos resultados desfavoráveis desse modelo, surgiu o movimento de humanização do parto, que além da assistência respeitosa e acolhedora, propôs uma atenção baseada em evidências científicas sendo destacado pela OMS e MS a enfermeira obstétrica como componente da humanização. Diante da função do corpo perineal, sua importância para as estruturas adjacentes e a consciência da morbidade após o trauma, a manutenção da integridade anatômica é fundamental para o funcionamento adequado e para a qualidade de vida da mulher e por isso diferentes técnicas e intervenções perineais estão sendo utilizadas e estudadas objetivando a manutenção da integridade local e minimizando lacerações de maior gravidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o desfecho materno perinatal da assistência às mulheres pelas enfermeiras obstétricas com a utilização da conduta hands off. Conduziu-se um estudo de corte transversal, incluindo 608 mulheres que tiveram seus partos assistidos por enfermeiras obstétricas com a utilização de hands off como conduta de proteção perineal. Foram avaliadas as características sociodemográficas e clínicas obstétricas. Os dados foram coletados a partir de prontuário eletrônico e livros de registros da equipe de enfermagem. A análise estatística foi realizada através do teste χ2 de Pearson e do modelo de regressão logística. Foi observado que houve uma prevalência de desfechos perineais de baixa gravidade, em 96,5% foram de acometimentos de baixa gravidade (1° grau ou períneo integro), mostrandose com aumento de chance de correção perineal em mulheres primíparas e quando peso foi maior ou igual a 3500g. Contudo, considerando os resultados desta investigação, acredita-se que a conduta expectante para proteção perineal, hands off, pode ser considerada dentro das boas práticas para assistência à mulher no processo de parturição, tendo em vista que esta conduta promove benefícios relacionados aos desfechos maternos perineais sem comprometer os resultados perinatais.
The process of institutionalization of childbirth and birth brought important advances and improvements for the care of women and the newborn, but it was accompanied by a set of standardized and interventionist obstetric practices routinely used to characterize the technical model. During the evolution and development of obstetric care, the female perineum gained visibility, often becoming a surgical site. From the 1980s onwards, in response to the unfavorable results of this model, the humanization movement of childbirth emerged, which, in addition to the respectful and welcoming assistance, proposed an attention based on scientific evidence, being highlighted by WHO and MS obstetric nurse as a component of Humanization. In view of the function of the perineal body, its importance for adjacent structures and the awareness of morbidity after trauma, the maintenance of anatomical integrity is fundamental for the proper functioning and quality of life of the woman and therefore different perineal techniques and interventions are being used and studied aiming the maintenance of the local integrity and minimizing lacerations of greater gravity. The objective of this study was to analyze the perinatal maternal outcome of care for women by obstetric nurses with the use of the hands off procedure. A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 608 women who had their deliveries attended by obstetric nurses with the use of hands off as perineal protection conduit. Sociodemographic and obstetric clinical characteristics were evaluated. The data were collected from electronic medical records and records books of the nursing team. Statistical analysis was performed using the Pearson χ2 test and the logistic regression model. It was observed that there was a prevalence of low-severity perineal outcomes in 96.5% of cases of low-severity (1st degree or integral perineum), showing an increased chance of perineal correction in primiparous women and when weight was greater than or equal to 3500g. However, considering the results of this investigation, it is believed that expectant management for perineal protection, hands off, can be considered within the good practices to assist women in the process of parturition, considering that this conduct promotes benefits related to maternal outcomes without compromising perinatal outcomes.

Full textIntroduction: Episiotomy rates and spontaneous perineal trauma in normal birth have considerable variation among different health care services. These perineal traumas and related morbidity may be prevented or restricted adopting evidence-based practices during childbirth and perineal repair. Although the well established evidence on perineal trauma prevention and repair, in Brazil there are few studies on the implementation of this evidence in practice. Objectives: Promote the best evidence-based practices for perineal trauma prevention and repair in normal birth; Assess the current practice in perineal trauma prevention and repair in normal birth; Implement the best evidence-based practices on perineal trauma prevention and repair in normal birth; Assess the impact of these implementation on maternal outcomes. Methods: Quasi-experimental intervention study before and after, according to Institute Joanna Briggs methodology implementation of evidence in clinical practice. It was conducted 74 interviews with nurses, obstetricians, residents of both categories and 70 with post-partum women who have had birth at Hospital da Mulher Mãe Luzia, in Macapá, AP, Brazil. It was also analyzed 555 patient data records. The educational intervention was a seminar for professionals, to present and discuss the best evidence-based practice available in relation to perineal care during labour and birth. The study was conducted in three stages: pre-audit and base audit (phase 1); implementation of best practices (phase 2: educational intervention); post-implementation audit (phase 3). Data were analysed comparing the results of phases 1 and 3, with significance level of 5%. The Research Ethics Committee of the School of Nursing of the University of São Paulo approved the study. Results: Concerning professionals, the comparison between phases 1 and 3 showed an increased proportion of professionals who rarely or never encourage direct pushing (55.0% versus 81.2%; p=0.009), perform episiotomy (83.3% versus 96.9%; p=0.021) and leave first-degree lacerations without repairing (61.9% versus 81.3%; p=0.011). Concerning post-partum women, besides the lithotomy position have been most frequent referred by women in the phase 1 (77.1%), it was also the most frequent position in phase 3 (97.1%), with statistical difference (p=0.028). Related to perineal pain 1-2 days, 10-12 days and 30 days after childbirth, the frequency decreased (94.0%, 66.7% and 63.6%, respectively, in each period, in phase 1, and 79.0%, 57.1% and 38.5%, respectively, in each period in phase 3), with statistical difference considering all periods (p=0.019), but no difference between phases 1 and 3. Concerning patient data records, less women had perineal lacerations sutured (92.0%, in phase 1, and 82.1%, in phase 3; p=0.039) and more women had perineal mucosa (4.8%, in phase 1, and 28.1%, in phase 3; p=0.006) and perineal skin (10.2%, in phase 1, and 25.0%, in phase 3; p=0.033) sutured by polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910. Concerning other analyzed practices and outcomes, no one had statistical significant difference before and after the educational intervention. Conclusion: The evidence-based practice implementation methodology improved the childbirth care and perineal outcomes, such as less nurses and obstetricians performing directed pushes and routine episiotomies, and more records about the use of polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910 to suture perineal mucosa and skin. On the other hand, it was identified gaps in evidence implementation and some inappropriate perineal care management, such as women submitted to lithotomy position during birth and lack of records in suturing perineal tears. On-going audits and educational interventions on evidence-based practice can improve the childbirth care and maternal outcomes.

Resumo: Objetivos: Comparar parâmetros ultrassonográficos através de ultrassonografia perineal em homens sem cirurgia prostática, com homens no pós-operatório de prostatectomia radical, continentes e incontinentes. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, multicêntrico (2 centros), envolvendo 92 colaboradores, dos quais 70% foram submetidos à prostatectomia radical retropúbica há mais de um ano. Estes pacientes foram provenientes do ambulatório do Serviço de Urologia do Hospital Universitário Pedro Ernesto e do ambulatório do Serviço de Urologia do Hospital de Clínicas - UNICAMP, com indicação adequada para o exame. Estes pacientes foram escolhidos aleatoriamente, de acordo com os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, e foram divididos em três diferentes grupos: 27 pacientes sem cirurgia prostática, 34 pacientes em pós-operatório de prostatectomia radical continentes e 31 pacientes em pós-operatório de prostatectomia radical incontinentes. Todos apresentaram urocultura negativa. O grupo incontinente realizou, ainda, pad test de 24h e avaliação urodinâmica. O exame foi realizado com o paciente em posição supina, com as pernas levemente abduzidas, semelhante à litotomia. O transdutor foi posicionado na região perineal (entre o escroto e o ânus), em orientação sagital, para obter imagens da sínfise púbica, bexiga, colo vesical e uretra. No exame foram avaliadas a hipermobilidade da uretra proximal, ângulo uretral, funelização do colo vesical e contração voluntária do assoalho pélvico, sendo estes avaliados durante manobra de Valsalva, contração perineal e repouso. Após coleta de dados, foram comparados padrões ultrassonográficos em homens sem cirurgia prostática e em homens no pós-operatório de prostatectomia radical, continentes e incontinentes. Resultados: Neste trabalho, observamos que o grupo continente apresentou o ângulo uretral em repouso significativamente menor que o grupo sem cirurgia (p = 0,0002). Observamos ainda que o grupo incontinente apresentou deslocamento da porção anterior da junção uretrovesical durante a contração significativamente menor que o grupo continente. (p = 0,008) Esta condição foi mais evidente quando comparamos o grupo com incontinência grave ao grupo continente.(p = 0,022). Conclusão: Observamos diferença significativa entre o grupo continente e o grupo sem cirurgia prostática em relação ao ângulo uretral. Observamos ainda diferença significativa no deslocamento da porção anterior da junção uretrovesical durante a contração quando comparamos os grupos continente e incontinente
Abstract: Purpose: To compare sonographic patterns through perineal ultrasonography in men without prostate surgery, with continent and incontinent men after radical prostatectomy. Methods: This cross-sectional clinical study investigated the differences of a dynamic evaluation of the urethra and pelvic floor contraction using perineal ultrasound in men without prostate surgery and in men submitted to radical prostatectomy with and without stress urinary incontinence. Ninety two male patients were included, which 70% of them underwent radical prostatectomy (RP) for more than one year. Thirty one men with clinically post prostatectomy incontinence were compared by two-dimensional (2D) perineal ultrasound to 34 patients without post prostatectomy incontinence and to 27 men without surgery in two centers in Brazil. All patients had negative urine culture. The incontinent group also presented 24h pad test and urodynamic evaluation. The examination was performed with the patient in supine position, with legs slightly abducted, similar to lithotomy. The transducer was placed in the perineal area (between the scrotum and anus), with sagittal orientation, to obtain images of the pubic symphysis, bladder, bladder neck and urethra. During examination, hypermobility of the proximal urethra, urethral angle, bladder neck funnelling and voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor were assessed. These parameters were evaluated during Valsalva maneuver, perineal contraction and rest. Results: Our results showed that the continent group presented the urethral angle at rest significantly lower than the prostate group (p = 0.0002). We also observed that the incontinent group showed the displacement of the anterior bladder neck during contraction significantly lower than the continent group (p = 0.008). This condition was more evident when compared the severe incontinent group with the continent group. (p=0,022) Conclusion: We observed a significant difference between the continent group and the group without prostate surgery when urethral angle was compared. We also observed a significant difference in anterior displacement of the bladder neck during contraction when comparing continent and incontinent groups

Full textEpisiotomy is a surgical incision made on the vulvar area at the time of the expulsion of the fetus. It is one of the most common procedures in obstetrics, second only to the clamping and cutting of the umbilical cord. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the performance of episiotomy and its association with maternal and neonatal changes. The study population consisted of pregnant women undergoing vaginal delivery in two public maternity hospitals in the city of Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil, between June 2007 and May 2008. Data was collected from medical records. A total of 1,129 medical records were reviewed. Episiotomy was performed in 57.55% (n = 636) of all vaginal deliveries and in 83.7% (n = 325) of primiparous deliveries. The rate of episiotomy was higher than the average 30% recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). A statistically significant association was found between episiotomy and primiparity (p<0.001). There was no association between episiotomy performance and maternal (p<0.19) and/or neonatal changes (p<0.622). No association was seen between episiotomy technique (midline or mediolateral) and risk of laceration (p=0.663), although data suggest an association between episiotomy and increased risk of severe laceration (p<0.001). The rate of episiotomy was similar in both hospitals studied. The results of this study confirm indiscriminate performance of episiotomy and point to the need of strategies to reduce it.
A episiotomia é uma incisão cirúrgica realizada na região da vulva, no momento da expulsão do concepto. É um dos procedimentos mais comuns em obstetrícia, sendo superado apenas pelo corte e pinçamento do cordão umbilical. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o uso da episiotomia e sua associação com as alterações maternas e neonatais em duas maternidades públicas na cidade de Goiânia, Goiás. A população constituiu-se de parturientes submetidas ao parto normal, no período de junho de 2007 a maio de 2008, mediante revisão dos prontuários. Foram analisados 1.129 prontuários. A episiotomia foi utilizada em 57,55% (n=636) de todos os partos normais e em 83,7% (n=325) dos partos de primíparas, observa-se uma freqüência do uso da episiotomia acima da media recomendada pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, de 30%. A associação entre o uso da episiotomia e a primiparidade é estatisticamente significante (p<0,001). Não houve associação entre as alterações maternas (p<0,19) e/ou neonatais (p<0,622) com o uso da episiotomia. Também não houve associação entre a técnica utilizada (mediana ou mediolateral) e o risco de laceração (p=0,663), embora os dados sugiram a associação da episiotomia e aumento do risco de lacerações graves (p<0,001). O emprego da episiotomia mostrou-se semelhante nas duas maternidades. Os resultados deste estudo ratificam o uso indiscriminado da episiotomia, e apontam para a necessidade de propor estratégias para reduzir o emprego desta técnica.

Full textThe perineal trauma, caused by episiotomy or ruptures, is quite frequent during the spontaneous delivery, being the local anesthesia widely utilized when repairing lesions in the vulvo-perineal region. Throughout the specialized literature, scarce are the studies on the most suitable anesthetic solutions for this kind of anesthesia. Even though there are recommendations for the adoption of the anesthetic with vasoconstrictor, because of the prolonged permanence of the anesthetic solution in the region, thus ensuring a bigger time of action, and because of the reduction in the plasmatic concentration of the drug, its utilization in practice is restricted. The goal of the study was to compare the necessary quantity of anesthetic to inhibit pain during the suture of the perineal trauma in women with an episiotomy or with first or second degree spontaneous lacerations, according to the use or not of vasoconstrictor in the anesthetic solution. This is a randomized and controlled research, with double blind trial, performed in the Birth Centre at Amparo Maternal, in the city of Sao Paulo. There were 96 parturients included in the study and then divided into three blocks: first degree laceration, second degree laceration and episiotomy. In each block, constituted of 32 women, 16 women were administered the anesthetic solution with vasoconstrictor and 16 with no vasoconstrictor. Results show that in the first degree laceration block the average of anesthetic with vasoconstrictor presented a statistically significant difference (p=0,002), with 1,0 ml (C.I. -1,6; -0,4) less than the average of the anesthetic without vasoconstrictor; in 95% of the cases, 1 to 2 ml of the solution with vasoconstrictor was utilized, while in 87,5% of the cases, the anesthetic without vasoconstrictor varied from 2 to 4 ml. In the second degree laceration block, the average of anesthetic solution with vasoconstrictor was 3,7 ml (C.I. -5,8; -1,6) less than the average of the anesthetic without vasoconstrictor, being statistically significant (p=0,001); in 87,5% of the cases, the maximum quantity of anesthetic with vasoconstrictor administered was 6 ml, while in 81,3% of the cases, women who were given the anesthetic without vasoconstrictor, received 7 ml or more. Considering the extent of the laceration, the size of the episiotomy practiced on the women of the study was adopted as a parameter to classify the extent of the laceration. The lacerations of a smaller extent were grouped as small-sized, the ones in which the size was similar to the size of the episiotomy were grouped as medium-sized, and as large-sized the ones that oversized the episiotomy. For the episiotomy, the average of anesthetic with vasoconstrictor was 0,3 ml (C.I. -2,1; 1,5) less than the average of the anesthetic without vasoconstrictor, with no statistic significance (p=0,724). Results allow us to confirm the hypothesis that the utilization of the anesthetic with vasoconstrictor in the local anesthesia during the suture of the perineal lacerations in the spontaneous delivery increases the effectiveness of the local anesthesia. Although the volume of anesthetic utilized in the suture of the first and second degree lacerations is significantly reduced by the association with vasoconstrictor, the clinical relevance of this result must be taken into further consideration.

Full textIntroduction: To investigate factors associated with perineal condition in vaginal delivery can result in modifications in the perineal care, in order to decrease the frequency of episiotomy and perineal lacerations in the vaginal delivery. Objectives: To identify factors associated with an episiotomy; to identify factors associated with perineal integrity in vaginal delivery; to describe the reasons for performing an episiotomy by nurse-midwives; and to identify the perineal protection maneuvers performed by nurse-midwives in a Birth Centre. Methods: Cross-sectional study with prospective data collection carried out through the application of a form to nurse-midwives in an In-hospital Birth Centre located in São Paulo city, Brazil, which included all women who gave birth in this service from February 2014 to January 2015. In the statistical analysis, the associations between the outcome variables (episiotomy and perineal integrity) and the sociodemographic, obstetric and care-related variables were estimated by Odds Ratios (OR), calculated in univariate and multivariate binary logistic regression models with a 95 per cent confidence intervals (95 per cent CI), in the SPSS software, version 20. Separated analyses were performed for each one of the outcome variables. The reasons for performing an episiotomy and the use of perineal protection maneuvers were described as frequencies and percentages. The study was approved in the Research Ethics Committees of the proposing and the co-participant institutions. Results: Data of 802 women were analysed (frequency of episiotomy of 23.8 per cent , 191 women; perineal integrity of 25.9 per cent , 208 women; perineal laceration of 50.3 per cent , 403 women). Factors identified as independently associated with an episiotomy were: no previous vaginal delivery (OR 26.72; 95 per cent CI 15.42-46.30), oxytocin use during labour (OR 1.69; 95 per cent CI 1.12-2.57), coached pushing (OR 2.05; 95 per cent CI 1.23-3.43), complications during labour (OR 2.61; 95 per cent CI 1.43-4.77) and semi-sitting position at delivery (OR 5.45; 95 per cent CI 1.06-28.01). The use of a perineal protective maneuver (OR 0.11; 95 per cent CI 0.04-0.26) or two maneuvers or more (OR 0.09; 95 per cent CI 0.04-0.22) was a protective factor against an episiotomy. Regarding the perineal integrity, the factors independently associated to this condition were: a previous vaginal delivery (OR 3.88; 95 per cent CI 2.41-6.23) and self-reported non-white skin color (OR 1.43; 95 per cent CI 1.01-2.04). Most of the indications for an episiotomy included reasons related to perineal conditions and dimensions. The perineal protection maneuvers were used in nearly 95 per cent of vaginal deliveries, but did not affect the perineal integrity rates. Conclusions: Most of the variables associated with an episiotomy were related to factors that can be controlled by the professional who provides labour and birth care. These variables did not influence the perineal integrity rates. To inform childbirth care professionals and women who are users of these services about the factors associated with the perineal condition at the childbirth can contribute for reducing the frequency of episiotomy and to preserve the perineal integrity in the vaginal delivery.

Full textIntroduction: During pregnancy, the functions of the pelvic floor muscles are modified, which predispose women to develop urinary incontinence (UI). Aims: 1. To evaluate the effect of a supervised pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) program on UI and the interference of the UI in the quality of life of pregnant women; 2. To evaluate the effect of a supervised PFME program in the pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) among incontinent pregnant women. Methods: Parallel randomized controlled trial, nested into a cohort of women during pregnancy, conducted on an insurance health care facility, in Guarulhos, SP. The population was women with UI, from 20 to 27 gestational weeks. The sample size was estimated at 74 pregnant women allocated into the experimental group (EG = 37) and control group (CG = 37), with a significance level of 5% and power of 80%. However, as the final sample obtained was 53 pregnant women (EG=31 and GC=22), the power of the test was recalculated to 41%. The EG intervention consisted of six biweekly sessions of PFME supervised by a physical therapist. Women in both groups were instructed verbally and in writing to perform the same perineal exercises at home. Data were collected before and after the intervention, in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy respectively, by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) and perineometry (Peritron). Descriptive, inferential and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: 96 women were considered eligible, 17 refused to participate and 79 were randomly allocated in EG (n=43) and CG (n=36). At the end of the study, 31 women of the EG and 22 of the CG were assessed. In the EG, 18 (58.1%) and in the CG 10 (45.5%) women were continent, without statistically significant difference. Nevertheless, the IU reduction was significant (p=0.028) among the women of EG who attended at least four PFME sessions, and indicates that each session reduced 24% the chance of UI (OR=0.76; 95%CI 0.62-0.95; p=0.014). Women of both groups who underwent regularly perineal exercises at home (at least twice a week) had less UI in the third trimester of pregnancy (p=0.014). At the beginning of the trial, the ICQ-SF score was 8.7 (SD=3.1) in the EG and 7.6 (SD=4.9) in the CG. However, in the third trimester of pregnancy, this score was 7.7 (SD=3.9) in EG and 9.3 (SD=4.6) in the GC, with no statistically significant differences for the group effect or trimester of pregnancy. Regarding PFMS in the second trimester of pregnancy, the average in the GE was 26.3 (SD=16.8) cmH2O and in the GC was 25.7 (SD=14.8) cmH2O. Considering only the pregnant women of GE who attended at least four PFME sessions, in the third trimester of pregnancy the PFMS average was 29.1 (SD=17.6) and 23.7 (SD=12.8) cmH2O in the experimental and control groups, respectively, with a statistically significant difference (p=0.013). Pregnant women with overweight and obesity showed lower PFMS (p=0.013), independently of the group and trimester of pregnancy. There was no statistically significant association between PFMS and IU in the third trimester of pregnancy. Conclusion: The effect of the supervised PFME program in reducing UI during pregnancy depends on the number of sessions. Perineal exercises regularly performed at home are effective to reduce UI and to increase PFMS. Overweight and obesity during pregnancy have effect on reducing the PFMS

Thesis, Högskolan Dalarna, Vårdvetenskap, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:du-13183.
Full textBakgrund: Sfinkterskada är en allvarlig komplikation i samband med vaginal förlossning. Önskan om att undvika vaginal förlossning igen ses hos kvinnor som tidigare drabbats av sfinkterskada. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att ta reda på om det fanns riktlinjer gällande sfinkterskada i samband med förlossning vid Sveriges förlossningskliniker samt sammanställa och granska innehållet i riktlinjerna. Metod: Innehållsanalys med en kombination av deduktiv och induktiv ansats. Resultat: Av de 39 kliniker som svarade hade 31 riktlinjer gällande sfinkterskada. I riktlinjerna beskrevs vanligast förekommande riskfaktorer samt prevention med hjälp av perinealskydd. Läkaren ställde diagnos och utförde reparation av sfinkterskadan på operationsavdelningen. Komplikationer som samlagssmärta och anal inkontinens fanns beskrivet i riktlinjerna. Paracetamol och diklofenak var den vanligast förekommande smärtlindringen. Profylax som antibiotikabehandling och laxantia gavs av de flesta förlossningskliniker. Information till den nyförlösta kvinnan beskrevs. Uppföljning hos läkare, barnmorska och sjukgymnast rekommenderades efter fyra veckor till sex månader. Vid kommande graviditet och förlossning föredrogs kejsarsnitt. Slutsats: Riktlinjerna var uppbyggda på samma sätt och hade till stor del liknande innehåll. Författarna till föreliggande fördjupningsarbete efterfrågar en nationell riktlinje.

Full textIntroduction: Qualified information in the antenatal period can contribute to women\'s knowledge about practices performed during childbirth, which may to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes, including perineal integrity. Objective: To evaluate whether the health education and support programme for women (PRENACEL) contributes to the reduction of perineal trauma of women attended in the public health system of Ribeirão Preto, Southeastern Brazil. Methods: Secondary analysis of the PRENACEL study, a cluster randomized trial implemented in the city of Ribeirão Preto. All women aged 18 years or more who started antenatal care at usual risk before the 20th gestational week, in one of the 20 selected health units participated in the study. To evaluate the perineal outcome, women who had a vaginal birth in one of the four participating maternity hospitals were included. The PRENACEL intervention corresponded to the offer, by mobile phones, of a package of short text messages (SMS) containing essential information about low-risk pregnancy and childbirth and related care. This health education programme was a complement to standard antenatal care offered in public health system (Sistema Único de Saúde). Cluster randomization was performed in two steps through simple random sweepstake. The first stage corresponded to the formation of two groups that, in the second stage, were allocated in intervention or control group. In the intervention group, passive enrollment was used to include women in the programme. Participants in the control group were included at the moment of data collection in the maternity hospitals. No masking strategy was adopted. The relative risk and the confidence interval were calculated, considering a level of significance of 5% for the tests. Results: Ten health units participated in the intervention group and ten in the control group. To evaluate the main outcome, 704 women were considered. Perineal integrity was reported by approximately 30% of women and episiotomy was a procedure used in approximately 15% of deliveries. No significant difference was found related to the perineal outcome between the participants of the groups. Conclusion: The use of SMS, as a proposed health education offered in antenatal care, was not associated with the reduction of perineal traumas during childbirth, despite its benefits in antenatal care. The PRENACEL study is included in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC, RBR-54zf73).

Full textIntroduction: Perineal pain is one of the most common adverse effects of episiotomy, constituting one of the most common maternal morbidity. Regarded as one of the biggest advances in health care, the low-level laser therapy have been shown very promising for the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects and for accelerating the healing process. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the application of low intensity laser for pain relief in the perineal region after normal childbirth with episiotomy. Method: This is a controlled clinical trial, randomized, parallel, with blinding of participant and researcher. The sample consisted of 114 women during puerperium after a normal birth with right mediolateral episiotomy staying in the Communal Recovery Area of the Amparo Maternal, who reported perineal pain 3 on a scale of 0 to 10. The women were divided into three groups of 38 women: infrared experimental group - treated with laser with 780 nm; red experimental group - irradiated with 660 nm laser and a control group - underwent treatment simulation, but without irradiation of light beam. It was used a diode laser, with spot size of 0.04 cm2, the dose of 8.8 J/cm2, 35 mW power, irradiation duration of 10 seconds per point, 0.35 J of energy per point and total energy of 1.05 J. The same irradiation protocol was applied in the experimental groups, infrared and red. The application was done in punctual mode, directly over the episiotomy, radiating from the central portion and edges, top and bottom of the trauma, making up three points of irradiation. The perineal pain intensity was evaluated before, immediately and 30 minutes after irradiation, on a numeric scale from 0 to 10. The data were collected between November 2009 and March 2010, after the approval by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: The average age of the mothers was 22.8 ± 4.4 years, the majority were primiparous (80.7%) and nulliparous (88.6%). The average intra-group perineal pain before and immediately after irradiation showed a statistically significant difference in the three groups (p0.001). There was also a significant difference intra-group averages of perineal pain immediately and 30 minutes after the intervention (p0.05), and 30 minutes before and after irradiation (p0.001) in the three groups analysed. The comparison of the average of the perineal pain between the control, infrared and red groups showed no significant difference in the three evaluation moments, indicating that the analgesic results obtained in groups treated with low-level laser therapy were equivalent to the control group. There was no significant difference in the proportion of relief of perineal pain among the three comparison groups, immediately and 30 minutes after intervention (p=0.234), indicating that relief pain was similar between groups. The majority of the women underwent low-level laser therapy (96.0%) had a favorable opinion on the use of lasers in clinical practice, found the procedure comfortable (93.4%) and reported that would repeat the treatment in another postpartum period (96.5%). Conclusion: The treatment protocol with low-level laser therapy used in this study showed no benefit in the relief of perineal pain in the comparison between experimental groups with control. It is necessary that new research proposals, analyzing different treatment protocols with the laser at low-level laser therapy, should be developed to determine an ideal protocol in relief of perineal pain among the mothers.

Full textPopulärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Hur är det att drabbas av en förlossningsskada? Vad är det som gör ont, och hur är det att söka vård för smärtan? I denna studie undersöks erfarenheten av att söka och få vård för förlossningsskador. Tio personer delar genom kvalitativ intervju med sig av sina upplevelser av att försöka få hjälp med sina förlossningsskador och den smärta som de åsamkat. I fokus är den kroppsliga erfarenheten. Studien ställer frågor om hur smärta, fysisk men även social i form av känslan skam, förkroppsligas i möten med medicinsk personal. Genom en feministisk fenomenologisk utgångspunkt ämnar uppsatsen både undersöka den roll som normer om kön och sexualitet spelar i möten mellan patienter och vårdgivare, men också belysa hur svårt det är att separera på kroppsliga och sociala erfarenheter. Hur orienteras den förlossningsskadade gentemot vården i sina försök att dämpa smärtan och läka skadan? Genom min tolkande analys av de förlossningsskadades erfarenheter läser jag hur de bär på erfarenheter av att känna sig förvirrade och desorienterade av flera orsaker, dels för att vissa lever med skador för vilka det ännu inte finns hjälp, det vill säga permanenta skador, medan andra förvirras av att höra från vården att deras bäckenbotten ser bra ut, trots att de fortfarande har ont. En del bär på erfarenheter av att uppmanas ha penetrerande sex genom smärtan, andra att leva med smärtan fram tills att de är färdiga med att skaffa barn. Många bär på erfarenheter av att känna sig hämmade från att säga ifrån när de kände sig illa behandlade, eller att våga kräva bättre vård när de känner sig undanskuffade. Förr eller senare tenderar de informanter som känner sig undanskuffade att, med olika strategier, ta plats och kräva vård för sin smärta. Jag tolkar det som att dessa personer når en smärtpunkt där det blir jobbigare att leva sin smärta än att uppleva sig vara till besvär. Den förkroppsligade erfarenheten av smärta, både fysisk och social i form av att känna skam, orienterar dem mot vården med uppsåtlighet. De oroar sig inte längre över att uppfattas som jobbiga. Andra informanter upplever till slut att de träffar läkare eller barnmorskor som ser och bekräftar deras smärta, vilket stärker dem i deras självkänsla och i deras uppfattning att skadan och smärtan är ett problem för vilket de behöver vård. Studien landar därmed i slutsatsen att den förkroppsligade erfarenheten av fysisk och social smärta, samt den förkroppsligade erfarenheten av att känna sig sedd i denna smärta, leder till en brytpunkt som orienterar de förlossningsskadade mot vårdande behandling, och därmed även mot ett stärkt subjektskap.

Full textINTRODUCTION: The treatment of anorectal malignancies requires resection that can lead to extensive perineal defects. These defects require reconstruction which should be performed, preferably, with flaps. Among them, we highlight the internal pudendal artery perforator flap, located on the gluteal fold, vascularized by cutaneous perforator vessels from the internal pudendal artery, and innervated by branches from the pudendal nerve and the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve. This flap has many advantages compared to others used for perineal reconstruction, and data related to the evaluation of its cutaneous sensibility are scarce, discrepant and subject to methodological criticisms. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate cutaneous sensibility of the internal pudendal artery perforator flap 12 months after perineal reconstruction in abdominoperineal resection of rectum, and compare it with the preoperative cutaneous sensibility of the gluteal fold (flap donor area). METHODS: A prospective study of 25 patients undergoing abdominoperineal resection of rectum for anorectal malignancies, and reconstruction with the internal pudendal artery perforator flap, in bilateral VY advancement. The modalities of tactile, pain, thermal and vibration sensibility were analyzed in four areas of the gluteal fold preoperatively and in the four corresponding areas of the flap 12 months after surgery. Tactile sensibility was assessed using the Pressure Specified Sensory Device(TM) (PSSD(TM)), a device that measures the pressure applied to the skin, static or moving. The other types of sensibility were analyzed with the forced-choice method, using a needle for pain sensibility, hot/cold contact for thermal sensibility and 128 Hz tuning-fork for vibration sensibility. RESULTS: The tactile sensibility thresholds measured with PSSD(TM) on the internal pudendal artery perforator flap 12 months after perineal reconstruction were similar to tactile sensibility thresholds of the gluteal fold preoperatively, both in static and moving pressure tests. The comparison between these thresholds showed no statistically significant difference, with p values greater than 0.05 in the four areas evaluated, for both tests. All patients presented pain, thermal and vibration sensibility in all four areas tested, on the both the gluteal fold preoperatively and the flap 12 months after surgery. CONCLUSION: In perineal reconstructions after abdominoperineal resection of rectum, it is expected that the cutaneous sensibility of the internal pudendal artery perforator flap is maintained
