The course and perinatal outcomes of rapid delivery in women

Abstract

This paper presents the clinical characteristics of pregnancy course and the features of uterine con-tractions during rapid delivery. The character of perinatal complications of rapid delivery has been studied. The morphological characteristics of the cervix in women with shortened delivery period have been presented. It was revealed that the vast majority of rapid delivery is not accompanied by excessively strong labor. Adverse perinatal outcomes for both a mother and a newborn are caused not by the nature of labor, but by infectious-inflammatory processes, on which background an actual pregnancy had occurred and developed, which has been evidenced by both clinical observations and the results of histological examination of cervix tissue of rap-idly delivering women.
