Background• Deeply engaged fetal head
• 1-2% of CS • Associated with adverse maternal
and neonatal outcomes
• RANZCOG guideline
• Fetal Pillow • Mater Health Services first unit in
Australia • 2 fetal deaths subject to Coronial
Investigation

Objective
Report the initial Australian experience with use of the Fetal Pillow

Methods• Retrospective cohort study
• Women who underwent CS at full dilatation • Between May 2013- March 2015 • Mater Mothers Hospitals, South Brisbane
• Data extracted from electronic maternity record
• Comparison• Cases where the FP method was used• Cases where the hand–push method was used • Maternal and neonatal outcomes reported

Results• 361 CS performed at full dilation
• FP-method 91 cases • Hand-push method 69 cases• Similar baseline characteristics
Fetal Pillow Hand-push P-value
Nullipara 82% 66% 0.15
Age 30y 31y 0.39
BMI 25 24 0.61
Gestation 40 40 0.54
Category 1 CS 49% 52% 0.95

Results• Women in whom the FP-method was used
• Shorter post-partum length-of stay • Higher cord arterial pH • Less EBL• Other outcomes similar

Conclusions• Initial findings
• confirm others experience • effective aid when deeply impacted fetal head • larger numbers are needed
• Clinician feedback universally positive
• Risk minimisation
