Novel Method to Assess Fetal Head Station in Labour Correlation between clinical method of determination of fetal head station and transperineal ultrasound method of determination of fetal head station
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Current obstetric practice strives to avoid difficult vaginal deliveries. Digital vaginal examination remains the “gold standard” for identifying the fetal head station and it is highly subjective, experience dependent and has poor reproducibility in determining the position of the fetal head particularly when it is associated with caput succedaneum and asynclitism. Failure of descent is one of the most common indications for performance of surgical deliveries. With advances in ultrasound technology intrapartum transperineal ultrasound has been used to study the progress of labour and to predict vaginal delivery. This removes the problems of poor reproducibility and the difficulties associated with caput and moulding. The aim of our study is to correlate the fetal head station determined by intrapartum transperineal ultrasound and fetal head station determined by digital vaginal examination during full dilation of cervix.
