- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Unsafe abortion is a neglected women's health issue in India and in many developing nations because maternal mortality and morbidity due to unsafe abortions can easily be prevented when women have access to safe abortion services. We are in a quest of a suitable MTP option for rural India. Electric vacuum aspiration (EVA) succeeded over dilation & curettage as the former is less painful, less time consuming, having lower complication rates and lower maternal mortality. This might serve purpose of remote India to some extent. Material & method: This work was carried out in Post partum centre and Obstetrics & Gynaecology department, hi-tech Medical College and hospital, bhubaneswar during the period July2021-July2023. The cases were pregnant women <12 weeks of gestation attending OBGYN dept of hi-tech medical college and hospital, bhubaneswar for MTP. A total number of 200 patients were studied; out of which 100 patients underwent MVA and the remaining 100 EVA. Result: The mean + SD blood loss is 40 + 10.739 for MVA and 44.88 + 11.296 for EVA. Applying independent sample test, the p value is 0.003. hence MVA is associated with statistically significant less blood loss. In the present study, MVA was effective in 97% and EVA 98% cases, thus the two procedure did not show much difference as far as their effectiveness is concerned. Conclusion: Manual vacuum aspiration is a safe and effective alternative to traditional electric vacuum aspiration. It is also relatively easy to perform and requires simple training for the health care provider.
