Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal descent in nulliparous women assessed by ultrasound: a longitudinal study
Hulda Hjartardóttir,Sigrun H. Lund,Sigurlaug Benediktsdottir,Reynir Tómas Geirsson,Torbjørn Moe Eggebø +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ultrasound measurements to describe the fetal head descent longitudinally as labor progressed through the active phase in nulliparous women with spontaneous onset of labor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reproducibility and acceptability of ultrasound measurements of head-perineum distance.
TL;DR: This study aimed to test the reproducibility of head–perineum distance measurements using two different ultrasound devices and five examiners to compare ultrasound measurements and clinical assessments and to study if ultrasound examinations were acceptable for women in labor.
Journal ArticleDOI
When does fetal head rotation occur in spontaneous labor at term: results of an ultrasound-based longitudinal study in nulliparous women.
Hulda Hjartardóttir,Sigrun H. Lund,S. Benediktsdottir,Reynir Tómas Geirsson,Torbjørn Moe Eggebø +4 more
TL;DR: Six of the eight women ending with cesarean delivery had the fetus in occiput posterior position throughout the active phase of labor, which was the most frequent position at the first examination, but the majority were at 4 or 8 o'clock.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can ultrasound on admission in active labor predict labor duration and a spontaneous delivery
Hulda Hjartardóttir,Sigrun H. Lund,Sigurlaug Benediktsdottir,Reynir Tómas Geirsson,Torbjørn Moe Eggebø,Torbjørn Moe Eggebø +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether transperineal ultrasound measurements during the first examination in the active phase of labor were associated with the duration of labor phases and the need for operative delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Descent of the presenting part assessed with ultrasound.
TL;DR: An overview of fetal descent examined with ultrasound can be found in this article, where a transperineal scan of the proximal part of the fetal head above the pelvic inlet is performed.
