Computerized Labor Management – a new approach to labormanagement

OBJECTIVE: To accurately and continuously measure cervical dilatation and fetal head station in labor. STUDY DESIGN: A low cost ultrasound-based computerized labor management system was designed; The efficacy and safety of the attachment device was the subject of the first clinical study(n=20), while the second (n=82)focused on the performance of the system. This pilot clinical measurements of the cervical dilatation and fetal head station were verified against standard digital examination. RESULTS: The laboratory testings resulted in accurate distance measurements with error of 1–2mm. The efficacy of the attach…
