PG - 375-379 LID - S1028-4559(19)30075-0 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.tjog.2018.10.033 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the conformity of the indications and implementation status of uterine fundal pressure maneuver (UPFM) and to examine its safety according to the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (JSOG) guidelines. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected all the patients (n = 265) who were treated with UFPM between January 2015 and March 2017. We first evaluated the conformity of the indications and implementation status of UFPM concerning the guidelines for obstetrical practice in Japan, 2017. Second, we retrospectively examined maternal and fetal adverse events (AEs) to determine the safety of UFPM. RESULTS: In total, 265 patients underwent UFPM; of all the UFPM-assisted deliveries, 189 patients (72%) were evaluated for conformity. Of these 189 patients, 181 (95.7%) were confirmed to be compliant. Laceration of the birth canal was the most frequently occurring maternal AE, followed by cervical laceration. No cases of uterine rupture, severe AEs leading to an extended hospital stay, and maternal deaths were observed. Although fetal AEs requiring admission to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were recorded for 33 patients (12.5%), all newborns developed normally without sequela. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study may support the validity of the 2017 guidelines. Because it is difficult to find evidence of the safety of use of UFPM, it is essential to accumulate experiences and results learned in clinical practice to build a consensus in the future using the current 2017 guidelines as a standard as done in the current study.
