Active labor management significantly reduces cesarean section rates in first-time mothers with normal pregnancies. This approach improves outcomes without increasing risks to mother or baby.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Cesarean section rates have been rising globally.
  • Identifying effective labor management strategies is crucial for reducing operative births in low-risk pregnancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To prospectively compare the effect of active labor management versus traditional labor management on cesarean section rates.
  • To evaluate the impact on fetal morbidity and mortality in primiparas with physiological term pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective randomized controlled trial involving 145 primiparas with physiological term pregnancy.
  • Participants were assigned to either active labor management (n=75) or traditional labor management (n=70).

Main Results:

  • The cesarean section rate was significantly lower in the active labor management group (9.3%) compared to the traditional group (20%) (p < 0.05).
  • No significant increase in fetal morbidity or mortality was observed in the active management group.

    • Conclusions:

    • Active labor management is an effective strategy for reducing cesarean section rates in primiparas with physiological term pregnancies.
    • This approach can be implemented without compromising fetal safety.
