A vacuum delivery, also known as a vacuum extraction, is a medical procedure that is sometimes done during vaginal childbirth. The doctor places a soft cup with a handle and vacuum pump to the baby’s head to help guide them down the birth canal. A vacuum delivery is typically done while the mother pushes during childbirth.
During a vacuum delivery, Dr. Prabhjot Manchanda will attach a soft or rigid cup to the baby's head, which is connected to a vacuum pump. By carefully applying suction, the doctor assists the baby's descent through the birth canal while the mother continues to push during contractions. The procedure is conducted with the utmost care to ensure both the mother and baby's safety.
