First Australian trial of the birth-training device Epi-No: A highly significantly increased chance of an intact perineum
Gabor T. KOVACS1, Penny HEATH1 and Campbell HEATHER2

Abstract



Background: A German report suggested significantly better outcomes in terms of perineal care, second stage length and neonatal outcome for users of Epi-No.

Objective: To carry out a pilot study of the first use of the Epi-No birth training device in Australia for women having their first baby.

Study population and methods: Forty-eight primigravidae having their confinement at Birralee Birthing Unit who used the device compared to all other primigravida who delivered during the same period.

Results: The study shows a highly significantly improved outcome for the perineum when users are compared to primigravid non-user controls. We could not demonstrate decreased instrumental delivery rates nor a better outcome in term of Apgar scores.

Discussion: The Epi-No device should be offered as an option to all primigravidae to use during the late third trimester.
Ne znam, naravno, koliko je nepristrano to istraživanje - ali zvuči intrigantno.

Zanima me jel ima koja curka koja je to probala i jel postoji neka ajmo reć povoljnija varijanta istoga (ova stvarca košta nešto više od 900 kn).

Puno hvala!
