Objective:To investigate the possible effects of painless delivery under the new concept of childbirth on maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:First-time mothers who underwent painless delivery in our hospital were selected as the subjects of this retrospective clinical study and divided into experimental and control groups.The experimental group was managed using the new delivery management method,while the control group was managed using the conventional delivery management method.Maternal and neonatal outcomes,duration of the first and second stage of labor,total duration of labor,medical interventions in the first stage of labor,visual analog scale(VAS)scores at complete cervical dilatation,method of delivery,and maternal satisfaction rates were compared between the two groups.Results:The first and second stages of labor as well as the total duration of labor were shorter in the control group than in the experimental group(all P<0.001).The rate of manual rupture of membranes and the rate of intravenous oxytocin use were higher in the control group than in the experimental group(all P<0.05).The VAS score at complete cervical dilatation was significantly higher in the control group than in the experimental group(P<0.05).The rate of vaginal delivery and maternal satisfaction were significantly lower in the control group than in the experimental group(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Painless delivery guided by the new concept of delivery has no significant effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes.On the contrary,it can prolong labor,provide more time for delivery,reduce interventions during delivery,reduce labor pain,and ultimately improve the rate of spontaneous delivery and its satisfaction with delivery,which is worth to be widely promoted in clinical practice.
