Filter by:Previous studies concluded that striae gravidarum assessment appears to predict the occurrence of perineal tears and recommend training the health personnel to calculate the total striae score which can help them decide if episiotomy is to be given or not. Episiotomy definitely seems to be preventive for perineal tears but giving episiotomy for the same is still debatable as episiotomy in itself is associated with morbidity. the hypothesis is episiotomy done in patients with high score will definitely protects against perineal tears. So, the aim of study is to determine whether assessment of striae gravidarum score could predict occurrence of tears during labor or not, and if episiotomy will prevent perineal tears in women with high score.
Paperless partograph is a technique used for monitoring the progress of labor before delivery, and arriving at the accurate time to intervene for ensuring a safe delivery. The study will be carried out to find out the effectiveness of paperless partograph in management of labor and its effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes
Objectives: - Evaluation of the correlation between the sonographic parameter and clinical findings (e.g. digital examination) in any cephalic (not only occipital anterior) position - Examination of the relationship between various sonographic parameters - Determination of intraobserver and interobserver variation in obtaining the sonographic measurements - Analysis of the temporal variation of the different sonographic measurements in normal spontaneous vaginal delivery versus obstructed labor in fetuses with occiput anterior versus those with persistent occiput posterior - Establishment of a sonopartogram that should replace in an objective way Friedmann - Establishment of cut-off values that may help clinicians to choose between vaginal operative delivery or caesarean section - Another interesting aspect of intrapartum transperineal ultrasound imaging is whether there is a psychological benefit to the patient in being able to follow on the ultrasound screen how fetal head descent and position are being assessed objectively.
