Abstract

Background & Methods: The aim of the study is early identification of various factors associated with abnormal labour and their management. Labor is a physiological but painful event. The agony and stress a woman suffers is beyond description. Results: There is reduced need for obstetric interventions if labour is carefully monitored using partograms. As per the study, there is reduced rate of caesarean section if paperless partograms are used. One of the possible reasons for this may be overdiagnosis of complications leading to earlier decision of caesarean section. Conclusion: The patients were selected after excluding the definite indication for LSCS. The duration of labor is obviously of significance not only to fetus but also to mother & is of great importance for the obstetrical outcome .The time of active labor is also of vital importance for mother & fetus. In this birth setting, for primigravid women the conventional partogram increases the need for intervention without improving maternal or neonatal outcomes, compared with the paperless partogram.
