This topic contains definition, instruments, indications, contraindications, prerequisites, advantages, procedure, complications and hazards of ventouse or vaccum delivery.
When fetal head is delivered, but shoulders are stuck and cannot be delivered it is known as shoulder dystocia.
The anterior shoulder becomes trapped behind on the symphysis pubis, whilst the posterior shoulder may be in the hollow of the sacrum or high above the sacral promontory.
The second stage of labor begins when the cervix is completely dilated (open), and ends with the birth of your baby. Contractions push the baby down the birth canal, and you may feel intense pressure, similar to an urge to have a bowel movement. Your health care provider may ask you to push with each contraction.
Placenta previa is a condition in which the placenta lies very low in the uterus and covers all or part of the cervix. The cervix is the opening to the uterus that sits at the top of the vagina. Placenta previa happens in about 1 in 200 pregnancies.
Placenta praevia risk factors include a previous delivery, age older than 35 and a history of previous surgeries, such as a caesarean section (C-section) or uterine fibroid removal.
The main symptom is bright red vaginal bleeding without pain during the second-half of pregnancy. The condition can also cause severe bleeding before or during delivery.
Limited physical activity is recommended. A C-section is often required in severe cases.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen.

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.
2. Vacuum Extraction (Ventouse)
• It is an instrumental device designed to assist
delivery by creating a vacuum between it and the
fetal scalp
• In the United states - vacuum extractor
• Europe – Ventouse (French- soft cup)
3. Historical background
• In 1705, Dr.James Yonge, an English surgeon-
first description of vacuum extraction
• In 1848 -Simpson -bell shaped device called an “air
tractor vacuum extractor”
• In 1953 a metal cup extractor -Malmstrom
4. Description
• Vacuum extractor is composed of:
• A specially designed cup with a diameter of 3, 4, 5 or 6
cm.
• A rubber tube attaching the cup to a glass bottle with a
screw in between to release the negative pressure.
• A manometer fitted in the mouth of the glass bottle to
declare the negative pressure.
• Another rubber tube connecting the bottle to a suction
piece which may be manual or electronic creating a
negative pressure that should not exceed - 0.8 kg per
cm2.

7. Types of vacuum extractors
Vacuum extractors are divided on the basis
of the type of cup- -metal
or plastic
1.Metal cup vacuum extractors
2.Soft cup vacuum extractors
8. Metal cup
• The metal-cup vacuum extractor- mushroom shaped
(40 to 60 mm =d)
• Metal-cups h`v
• higher success rate
• easier cup placement in (OP) position
• Due to rigidity of metal cups
application difficult and uncomfortable
increased risk of fetal scalp injuries.
9. Soft cup
• soft cups-bell or funnel shaped
• Soft-cup instruments- used with a manual vacuum
pump or an electrical suction device.
Soft-cup vacuum extractors- disposable or reusable
• Soft-cup vacuum extractors -fewer neonatal scalp
injuries.
• But higher failure rate
10. Prerequisites of vacuum extraction
• same as for forceps delivery
• Consent + well informed patient
• Vertex-presentation
• Head -well engaged
• No CPD
• Cervix fully dilated or almost so
• Bladder should be empty
11. Indications
INDICATED
• Maternal/Fetal distress in 2nd stage
• Prolonged 2nd stage
• Deep transverse arrest or persistent OP
• High vacuum for second twin
Prophylactic
• Preeclampsia
• Vaginal birth after CS
12. Contraindications
• Suspicion of CPD
• Other presentations than vertex like face
• Premature fetus
• Intact membranes
• Fetal coagulopathy
• Operator inexperience
13. Application of the cup
• Identification of the flexion point
-situated 3 cm in front of the posterior fontanelle.
-Centre of the cup should be overlying the flexion point.
-This placement promotes flexion ,descent and
autorotation.
• If traction is directed from this point the fetal head is
flexed to the narrowest sub-occipitobregmatic
diameter(9.5 cm).
14.
15.
16. Precautions-
-The largest cup that can be easily passed is
introduced sideways into the vagina by
pressing it backwards against the perineum.
-Be sure that there is no cervical or vaginal
tissues included in the cup.
17. Creating the negative pressure
For rigid cups, the negative pressure increased 0.2
kg/cm2 every 2 minutes until - 0.8 kg/cm2 is attained-
This creates an artificial caput (chignon) within the cup.
• With soft cups negative pressure can be increased to 0.8
kg/cm2 over as little as 1 minute
18. Episiotomy
• An episiotomy may be needed for proper
placement of the cup
• If not, then delay the episiotomy till the head
stretches the perineum or perineum interferes
with the axis of traction
• This will minimize unnecessary blood loss.
19. Traction
• Traction should be intermittent and co- ordinated
with maternal expulsive efforts and with uterine
contractions.
• Traction should be in line of the pelvic axis and
perpendicular to the plane of the cup
20. Principles to be kept during traction:
• Direction of pull – should follow curve of carus
• Traction –right angles to cup and counter
pressure with left hand
• Descent should occur with each pull
• Delivery should be within 3 pulls over 15 minutes
• Between contractions, check for fetal HR and
proper application of the cup
21.
22. Release
• When the head is delivered -vacuum is
reduced as slowly - diminishes the risk of
scalp damage
• The chignon should be explained to the
patient and the relatives
23. Reapplication of the cup
-If the cup detaches for the first time, reassess
the situation.
If favorable ,then reapply.
-If cup detaches for 2nd time, reassess if vaginal
delivery is safe or move to caesarean section
-CS-if there is inadequate descent and rotation
24. Failure of vacuum
• failed if-
-fetal head does not advance with each pull
-fetus is undelivered after 3 pulls with no
descent
-cup slips off the head twice at the proper
direction of pull with the maximum negative
pressure.
25. Advantages of Vacuum over Forceps
-Regional Anesthesia is not required
-The ventouse is not occupying a space beside the head
as forceps.
-Less compression force (0.77 kg/cm2)
compared to forceps (1.3 kg/cm2) -injuries to the head
is less common.
-Less genital tract lacerations.
-It can be applied on non-engaged head.
-Donot require full dilatation of cervix
-less traction force required
-promote autorotation
