Abstract
Objective: To determine the early neonatal and maternal outcomes of Kiwi-assisted vaginal deliveries.
Methodology: From January 2018 to 2023, this cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr Ziauddin University Hospital. All pregnant women at 37 weeks of gestation or more having no contraindications to vaginal birth were included in study using non-probability consecutive sampling technique under standard protocols of kiwi-cup usage. The maternal and neonatal outcomes were assessed along with pain intensity. The data were analyzed by SPSS Version 24.
Results: There were 213(61.5%) Kiwi cup deliveries. Most of the females (45.54%) were between 26-30 years, maternal complications were found in 14(4.48%) females while no pain was observed after 10 days of delivery in 204 (95.7%) females. Neonatal complications were also fewer (7.98%) with low APGAR score in 3 (0.01%) and 8 (3.8%) admitted in NICU. Conclusions: Operative vaginal delivery (OVD), particularly using the KIWI cup, are excellent options instead of cesarean section in women who are eligible and unable to deliver spontaneously. Use of Kiwi cup encourage safe clinical practice and decrease the maternal and neonatal complications.

Key words: Kiwi cup, assisted vaginal deliveries, cesarean section, postnatal pain.
