Application of disposable cervical dilator in painless induced abortion of unmarried pregnancy

Abstract

Objective \nTo investigate the application effect of disposable cervical dilatation stick in painless induced abortion of unmarried pregnancy. \n \n \nMethods \nFrom June 2017 to August 2017, 66 unmarried pregnant women [aged (23.13±3.12) years old and 6-12 weeks pregnant] who volunteered underwent painless induced abortion in the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) were selected, and randomly divided into observation group (32 cases) and control group (34 cases) according to the digital table method.The observation group was preoperatively treated with a one-time cervical dilator, and the control group was operated with painless induced abortion routine.Both two groups were given intravenous anesthesia and health education before and after surgery.The effect of cervical dilatation and incidence of induced abortion syndrome were observed and compared between the two groups. \n \n \nResults \nIn the observation group, cervical dilatation showed significant effect in 18 cases and effective in 8 cases, with an effective rate of 81.3%.While in the control group, cervical dilatation showed significant effect in 2 cases and effective in 10 cases, with an effective rate of 54.5%.The difference of effective rate between the two groups was statistically significant(Z=-4.552, P=0.000). The incidence rate of induced abortion syndrome in the observation group was 3.12%, which was significantly lower than 23.53% in the control group (χ2=4.24, P=0.040). \n \n \nConclusion \nThe use of disposable cervical dilator in painless induced abortion of unmarried pregnancy can effectively dilate the cervix and reduce the incidence of induced abortion syndrome. \n \n \nKey words: \nAbortion, induced;\xa0Cervix uteri;\xa0Tissue expansion devices;\xa0Pregnancy;\xa0Aponia;\xa0Induced abortion syndrome
