Clinical application of foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion in promoting vaginal delivery
Objective To evaluate the effect of foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion in promoting vaginal delivery.Methods 180 lying in women were randomly divided into foot bath group,acupuncture and moxibustion group and foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion group,with 60 cases in each group.The foot bath group were received foot bath after threatened labor.Acupuncture and moxibustion group were given acupuncture and moxibustion after parturition.In the foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion group,foot bath was given after threatened labor,and acupuncture and moxibustion was given after labor.Analgesic effect,labor process time,cesarean section rate,oxytocin use rate,instrument assisted delivery rate,effective rate of promoting cervical maturity,postpartum bleeding volume,Apgar score of newborns and incidence of adverse events were compared among the three groups.Results The foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion group were better than the acupuncture and moxibustion group and foot bath group in terms of analgesia effect and postpartum hemorrhage control,and the total labor process was shorter than the acupuncture and moxibustion group and foot bath group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The use rate of oxytocin and cesarean section rate in the foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion group were lower than those in the acupuncture and moxibustion group and foot bath group,and the effective rate of promoting cervical maturity was higher than those in the acupuncture and moxibustion group and foot bath group(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the Apgar score and incidence of adverse events among the three groups of newborns(P>0.05).Conclusion Foot bath combined with acupuncture and moxibustion has obvious analgesic effect,which can effectively shorten the duration of labor and promote natural childbirth.
