Vacuum extraction is the instrumental completion of childbirth. It is used in prolonged second stage of childbirth, fetal bradycardia or in cases where it is necessary to urgently complete vaginal delivery. Every intervention has complications, but the use of a vacuum carries more benefits than unwanted perinatal consequences that can occur if the vacuum is avoided. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of births completed by vacuum extraction. The study was retrospective and included data on maternal age, parity, weeks of gestation at the time of delivery, the duration of childbirth, analgesia at birth, birth weight of the baby and Apgar scoru of the newborn. The research included all women whose vaginal birth was completed with vacuum extraction during 2022 at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Center Split. Based on 82 women who gave birth with the help of vacuum extraction during 2022, it was found that these were most often first-born sages between the ages of 21 and 30, with a normal-weight newborn. There were no major deviations from physiological births and the newborns had a normal Apgar score. It is concluded that the use of vacuum extraction did not have a significant impact on the condition of the mother, fetus or newborn.
