delivery system with PalmPump (Clinical Innovations, Utah, USA). Five vacuum extractions were applied: 4 of them were performed for failure to progress and one case for non-reassuring fetal heart monitoring. Results: Before applying the vacuum cup, head station, position and head descent during contraction were determined using the LaborPro system. Three cases were of occiput anterior position and 2 cases of occiput posterior. Head station measurements and head descent during contraction were reported in the table. All the vacuum procedures were successful in at last three tractions. Conclusions: Using accurate and objective ultrasound-based and position tracking system data before vacuum cup application and during the extraction of the fetus, might reduce the failure rates of vacuum procedures, consequently maternal and fetal morbidity and reassuring the operator who carried out the procedure.
