    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Prolonged labor is a significant source of anxiety for expectant mothers during their first pregnancy.
    • Current labor management practices can lead to prolonged labor, causing distress.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of an active labor management policy guaranteeing delivery within 12 hours for primigravidae.
    • To define guidelines for a standard labor management policy.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study of 1,000 consecutive primigravidas.
    • Implementation of an active management protocol with a 12-hour delivery commitment.

    Main Results:

    • The 12-hour delivery commitment was met in almost all cases.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Difficulties in meeting the commitment primarily occurred when the diagnosis of labor was uncertain.
  • Only seven women required more than 12 hours in the delivery unit.

    • Conclusions:

    • Active labor management can successfully ensure delivery within a 12-hour timeframe for most first-time mothers.
    • A clear diagnosis of labor is crucial for meeting delivery time commitments.
    • This policy facilitates personalized nursing care and potentially alters the perception of labor pain.
