Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Objective:

To investigate the protective effects of a newly invented device for reducing tears in the perineum during vaginal childbirth.

Design:

A multicenter randomized control trial performed at three hospitals in Sweden, in Helsingborg, Lund and Malmö. Participants recruited are women with vaginal delivery (N=1200), cephalic presentation. They will be randomized to an intervention group, with a perineal protection device, and a control group deliver as normal.

Main outcome measures:

The effect on the frequency and extension of perineal ruptures grade I, II and anal sphincter rupture are measured.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Perineal rupture shall be measured with a ruler. Anal sphincter ruptures be examined by physicians. Drawing be made of the tears by the midwife.
