Abstract:Objective To explore the clinical application of low-frequency pulse combined with manual acupoint massage in promoting the delivery and postpartum lactation of primipara. Methods One hundred and twenty primparae in the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were selected and divided into observation group and control group according to the order of hospitalization, with 60 cases in each group. The control group received routine nursing care according to the term of labor, the observation group was treated with prenatal low-frequency pulse combined with manual acupoint massage on the basis of the control group. The cervical Bishop score, vaginal delivery rate, time of the first period of labor, lactation start time, the volume of postpartum lactation, degree of breast milk deposition and breast comfort level between two groups were compared. Results The cervical Bishop score of the two groups of pregnant women showed a trend of increasing with time, and the increase range in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01). The vaginal delivery rate of observation group was higher than that of the control group; time of the first period of labor and lactation start of observation group was shorter than those of the control group; the volume of postpartum lactation at day 3 and 7, degree of breast milk deposition and breast comfort level at day 3 of observation group were better than those of the control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Prenatal manual acupoint massage combined with low-frequency pulse has obvious effect on promoting cervical maturation, which can effectively shorten the first delivery period and increase the rate of vaginal delivery. And it can promote early postpartum lactation, which increases the volume of lactation, alleviates the degree of milk siltation of the primipara and thus increases the comfort of the breast.
