At the time of discharge to home, patients' satisfaction with the inflatable belt was evaluated asking them to score about the degree of psychological and physical fatigue with the Baby-guardTM by marking a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 (minimal) to 10 (optimal). Patients were also asked about the usefulness of the inflatable belt assistance to delivery. The number of cesarean section requests during the second phase of labor was also evaluated.
