During intrapartum obstetric care clinicians evaluate the fetal
head position manually, either by abdominal or digital vaginal
palpation. However, digital examination has been shown to be highly
operator-dependent (subjective). Intrapartum ultrasound, on the
other hand, seems to be reproducible and easy to learn. In crucial
situations like obstructed labor, likely to require medical
intervention, there really is a need for ultrasound assessment of
birth progress and on the busy labor ward. This is the first book
devoted entirely to intrapartum ultrasound for the management of
labor. Experts in the field present their own experiences and
summarize the published state of the art. The use of intrapartum
ultrasonography in evaluation of the first and second stages of
labor and diagnosis of the occiput posterior and transverse
positions is clearly documented. Each situation is analyzed with
the help of informative images, and invaluable tips and tricks are
provided, showing how fetal head engagement and progression can be
documented objectively. The importance of ultrasound in obstetrics
risk management is also addressed. This book explains how
intrapartum ultrasonography can be used to assess whether a safe
natural delivery is likely or whether operative procedures are
required. We hope it will be valuable for all professionals,
physicians and midwifes alike, who care for labouring women.
