El presente trabajo corresponde a la experiencia en el manejo del MITYVAC VACUUM DELIVERY SYSTEM y el nuevo CMI VACUUM D.S. presentada en un hospital materno infantil de Lima, Perú, distrito del Rímac y pacientes privados. Ampliando nuestra experiencia a una publicación del año 87. La significación tan importante que ha tenido el uso en el Perú de este instrumento ha permitido un importante apoyo en la dura y riesgosa jornada de la vida, que es el nacimiento. El MITYVAC se compone de un vacuum extractor, instrumento sencillo cuya difusión es cada vez mayor en hospitales de los Estados Unidos de Norte América, lo mismo que en Latinoamérica. Particularmente en el Perú su utilización se presenta desde el año 1986 desplazando al FORCEPS y al VACUUM EXTRACTOR DE MALMSTRONG reduciendo de esta manera los riesgos al momento del parto. La creación del MITYVAC VACUUM DELIVERY SYSTEM obedece a la COLUMBIA MEDICAL & SURGICAL, de esta manera miles de especialistas están poniendo en práctica una de las más importantes logros en cuanto a instrumental gineco obstetra se refiere, de los últimos años. Consideramos basados en la experiencia ilustrativa de su manejo, que con el MITYVAC VACUUM DELIVERY SYSTEM se facilita y se otorga máxima seguridad para la madre y el infante en aquellos partos que pudiese presentar dificultades. Lo consideramos: Simple, seguro, muy efectivo y de uso inmediato estando preparado estérilmente con equipos descartables. Su uso es responsabilidad del especialista basado en su evaluación y experiencia como factor decisivo para indicar el momento preciso para su aplicación. El MITYVAC está preparado para aumentar la potencia expulsiva de la madre y facilitar la natural rotación de la cabeza fetal, acortándose el periodo expulsivo durante el parto vaginal; pudiéndose también usar en operaciones cesáreas.

Evidence-based reviews and practice guidelines have identified a number of risk factors associated with vacuum assisted delivery (VAD) that may result in adverse effects on the newborn infant, injuries to the mother's genital tract, and difficulty or failure of the procedure. In addition, clinical circumstances that predispose to increased risk, such as the use of the vacuum extractor for rotational and mid-cavity procedures, have been highlighted as possible avoidable factors. Although there is general agreement that success of vacuum delivery depends on the knowledge, experience and skill of the operator, system analyses of adverse outcomes often reveal inadequate training as a major contributing factor. It is beyond the scope of this review to present the detailed knowledge and technical skills required for correct use of the vacuum extractor. A variety of teaching resources is available for this purpose and practitioners who wish to obtain more information are referred to them.

Abstract Objective: To describe an innovative electronically-controlled vacuum extractor (VE) in detail and to illustrate its performance characteristics, as observed in a laboratory study. Design: Thirty simulated, vacuum-assisted deliveries. Main outcome measure(s): (1) The ability to measure in real-time of the pull applied and to sound an alert, when the traction approaches the negative pressure under the cup, to prevent its detachment. (2) The recording and printing of a graphic representation of the pull applied (vacuum delivery graph). (3) The emission of a warning signal when the 15-min time limit of continuous cup application on the fetal scalp, is reached. Results: No cup detachment occurred in any of the 15 vacuum-assisted deliveries, in which traction was kept below the adhesive force of the cup [44 lb (20 kg)], except in three cases, due to loss of negative pressure. In the remaining 15 tests, in which traction was greater than the adhesive force of the cup, “pull-offs” inevitably occurred. Furthermore, upon reaching the 15-min time limit of continuous cup application on the fetal cephalic model, a warning signal was emitted, as programmed. Conclusions We demonstrated that the electronically-controlled VE, with its distinctive pull-sensing handle, performs suitably for its intended purposes. The ability of the modernized device to decrease the incidence of cup detachment, secondary to the inadvertent application of excessive traction, may result in considerable safety, medico-legal and didactic advantages.
