Clinical application of evidence- based care for maternal childbirth

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical application of evidence- based care for maternal childbirth. Methods 180 cases of maternal childbirth were selected as research subjects from March 2012 to August 2013 in the hospital and were randomly divided into two groups according to random number table.90 cases were treated with evidence- based measures in observation group, while the other 90 cases were with conventional methods of care in control group.Mode of delivery, rates of postpartum hemorrhage, neonatal asphyxia, and delivery time were compared between two groups. Results After treatment, maternal cesarean section rate was 24.4% in observation group, which was significantly lower than that of control group.Maternal vaginal delivery rate in observation group was 61.1%, which was significantly higher than that of control group, postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal asphyxia rate in observation group were significantly lower than those of control group(P< 0.05).The first, second and third delivery time of observation group were all significantly lower than those of control group. Conclusions Evidence- based care measures are benefit to enhancing maternity confidence and improving the success rate of maternal vaginal delivery, decreasing cesarean section rate, thereby reducing postpartum maternal complications, greatly improving the quality of life of mothers, which is worthy of clinical application.
