Complication of Delivery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomised Italian Sonography for Occiput POSition Trial Ante Vacuum
A failed operative vaginal delivery is associated with increased risk of maternal and
perinatal complications. It is very important the determination of the fetal head position
prior to instrumental delivery.
Generally,diagnosis of the fetal head position is made on transvaginal digital examination
by delineating the suture lines of the fetal skull and the fontanelles. There is a paucity
of studies on the accuracy of digital examination but the general consensus is that
reproducibility is low and diagnostic uncertainty remains high even for operators with much
experience.
As the traditional clinical evaluation has many limitations, a new tool capable of
increasing diagnostic objectivity and accuracy would be of great interest.
The aim of our study was to evaluate, in a prospective study, if the complementary use of
ultrasound scan, to diagnose the fetal head position prior to instrumental delivery, may
play a role in labor outcome.
