METHOD FOR OBSTETRIC AID Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61M21/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to obstetrics, and may be used in obstetric practice during an act of delivery for elimination of apprehension, pain management and control of parturient's behaviour. The obstetric aid accompanies the period of the act of delivery. A parturient is visually and verbally contacted by establishing the stable positive psychological interrelation during the contractions. Suggestion techniques are used for the psychotherapeutic effect on the parturient with creating cognitive attitudes to concentrate the parturient's attention on a baby and to form an active delivery position, to form a sense of confidence in the favourable delivery outcome. Then, the parturient is brought into the altered state of consciousness by intrusion of the intensive cohesive breathing; for this purpose each following contraction in the parturient is accompanied by operator's suggestions to breath together by a calm, mild yet directive voice, and the operators starts breathing together with the parturient by a maximum deep breathing and a calm breathing out without breath holding. Between the contractions, the operators intensifies the suggestive directive effect on the formation of the parturient's internal active position by creating the cognitive attitudes at the nonconscious level. A consequence of the psychotherapeutic effect is repeated until the parturient starts breathing adequately and behaving stably that are controlled by the operator and maintained by the respective actions until the act of delivery completed.

EFFECT: method enables eliminating the apprehension, reducing pain senses, as well as provides a complete conscious behaviour control by the parturient.
