Objective:To explore the impacts of the traditional Chinese medicine acupoint massage combined with freeposition during the stages of labor of primiparous with vaginal delivery on their duration of labor and postpartum bleeding volume.Methods:A total of 120 primiparous who wanted vaginal delivery were selected and were randomly divided into two groups from June 2021 to June 2023.The primiparous in the control group were given conventional de-livery mode,while the primiparous in the study group were given traditional Chinese medicine acupoint massage com-bined with free position delivery mode.The duration of labor and the postpartum bleeding volume of the primiparous were compared between the two groups.Results:The rate of vaginal delivery(91.7%)of the primiparous in the study group was significantly higher than that(75.0%)of the primiparous in the control group.The first stage of labor dura-tion(356.4±69.0 min),the second stage of labor duration(34.5±10.8 min)and the third stage of labor duration(6.1±1.1 min)of the primiparous in the study group were significantly shorter than those(442.2±82.6min,46.1±14.5 min and 9.6±1.5min)of the primiparous in the control group.The proportion of the pain degree ≤2 grade during de-livery(90.0%)and the delivery control score(178.41±19.68 points)of the primiparous in the study group were sig-nificantly higher than those(68.3%and 121.88±16.54 points)of the primiparous in the control group.The amount of postpartum hemorrhage(208.4±30.0ml)and the incidence of complications during delivery(11.7%)of the primipa-rous in the study group were significantly lower than those(292.5±37.3ml and 31.7%)of the primiparous in the con-trol group(all P<0.05).Conclusion:the traditional Chinese medicine acupoint massage combined with freeposition during the stages of labor of the primiparous can reduce their cesarean section rate,shorten their stages of labor in va-ginal delivery,alleviate their labor pain,reduce their postpartum bleeding,and decrease their complications during de-livery.
