"The doctor pulled with sugklockan on Algot – 21 times"

"”An assault on me and my son”"

"the Parents appealed to the doctor to finish the birth with a cesarean. "

"Despite the birth of their son, Algot – after 21 draws with sugklocka. "

"– He is classified as a högriskbarn for brain damage, " says Emelie Ankarhake. "

"It was in the beginning of december as Emelie Ankarhake, 27, came to the BB on the Nyköping hospital. A bit into the birth get her son an abnormal CTG-curve. Emelie Ankarhake and her partner pointed their fear of the nursing staff and the doctor, and wished to have a caesarean section. "

" We have previously been involved in a birth that ended with an emergency c-section and wanted to now avoid. We were clear when we came in to the birth that we wanted to have a cesarean if it would run the risk occur an emergency situation, " says Emelie. "

"But they felt that the doctor did not listen, instead, suggested that the birth would end with sugklocka."

"– It felt very uncomfortable and I was afraid. We said clearly no, because it was not so acute that they had to take the sugklockan. To the end of the screaming I do not want to. "

"According to the parents' complaint against the hospital to the IVO, it appears that both health professionals and the acting head of department pointed out the number of draws for the doctor – but still continued."

"– A manager came in during the childbirth, one minute before the Algot was born and questioned the doctor, so I understood that it was something that was wrong, " says Emelie Ankarhake. "

"In the child's journal, it says that there was a remarkable number of draws during childbirth – a total of 21 times with sugklocka for half an hour. In her own journal says it twelve times. "

"– It felt like an assault on both me and my children. They used it excessively many times against our will, " says Emelie Ankarhake."

"When Algot came out he could not breathe on their own, had a big cone on his head and a bleeding of the sugklockan. "

"– He did not scream, was very blue and limp. He had to get ventilatory, was in pain and got pain relief."

"”did not Know if he lived”"

"Shortly after the birth was Algot by ambulance to Eskilstuna in order to get care for their injuries. Emelie had to be left behind in Nyköping, sweden for surgery because the sugklockan had caused that she was cut and got stretch marks in the second degree. "

" I was jätteupprörd, sad, shocked. I never got any contact with Algot and did not know whether he was alive or not. It was a terrible thing."

"It took just over seven hours before she got to meet his newborn son again. "

"– After the birth was completed, we did not see the doctor more, who chose to go home without having to meet with us patients and tell them what had happened and why. It was incredibly hard for us as parents to not know why the doctor wouldn't listen to us."

"Only after two weeks, Emelie Ankarhake and her partner meet with the doctor. "

"– the Doctor explained that the decision felt right in the moment, but that it was wrong, in retrospect. "

"the Risk of serious cerebral hemorrhage shortly after a childbirth is more than twice as great for children who will be redeemed with sugklocka in place for emergency caesarean section, previous research on the KI shown."

"It has now been six weeks since the birth."

"– It goes very up and down. Some days take the worry about, I've also felt guilty towards the Algot. What I had been able to do that he would have received a different start in life? We do not yet know how this affected him. He is classified as a högriskbarn for brain damage due to the number of draws caused a swelling in the brain and a flödespåverkan and therefore will need to be followed up until school age, " says Emelie Ankarhake. "

"She is sharp, critical to patient care. "

"– this had not had happen if the doctors and nurses had listened to me as a patient and if the physician had followed the guidelines. It is terrible that a woman does not have the right to her own body and birthing. A no to mean no when it comes to other situations in society, but not in childbirth, it is remarkable, " says Emelie Ankarhake. "

"Ongoing internal investigation"

"An acclaimed review Vårdfokus made in 2014 shows that the recommendations for the use of sugklocka differ between the country's maternity. In general, there is, however, of a maximum of 6 to 8 draws in total, less if the head does not follow. The maximum time for how long an attempt should be run varies between 15 and 25 minutes."

"Cecilia Ekéus, associate professor in reproductive health, has researched just sugklockans use and risks in around ten years. "

"Sugklockan used for around 9000 deliveries per year in Sweden. "

" It is very unusual in that it deviates so greatly from the recommended. One should not draw more than six times and not "

"Yvonne Karlsson Ringholm, hospital clinic at the women's Clinic at Nyköping hospital, confirms that there is an ongoing internal investigation could lead to a" lex Maria complaint. They investigate, inter alia, the number of draws with sugklockan. "

" We have taken it seriously and has, on its own initiative launched an internal investigation. It is not normal to pull 21 times, says one of the county council, the medical director Görel Wachtmeister. "

"* at the same time as sugklocka can save the life of the child it increases the risk of severe stretch marks of the mother with four times. Just over a third of all injuries in the ändtarmens slutmuskeln (analsfinkter) occurs when the sugklocka used at the time of delivery, according to a report in 2016 from the SBU, the State's preparation for medical and social evaluation. When sugklocka used burst slutmuskeln of 12 per cent of the mothers in 2014 - compared with 2.7 per cent of those who gave birth vaginally without sugklocka. In Sweden lack national guidelines for the delivery of sugklocka. The country's maternity takes themselves until riktlinjeru002Fpm for childbirth with sugklocka."

"* It is well known that the childbirth with sugklocka or seaweed significantly increases the risk of sfinkterruptur. "
