An observational study in Vaginal Delivery, sponsored by Cairo University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 35 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-08-29.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Observational
2D trans abdominal ultrasound was done during the first stage of labor. If fetal position is occiput anterior and fetal presentation is vertex, two dimensional sagittal picture of the fetal head and upper spine was acquired and stored in the ultrasound machine. On this image, the offline measurement of the angle formed by a line tangential to the occipital bone and a line tangential to the first vertebral body of the cervical spine (occiput-spine angle) will be performed to quantify the degree of fetal head flexion in respect to the trunk

The sonographer was not involved in the patient's care and the managing obstetrician was blinded to the ultrasound findings and the occiput-spine angle. For each patient of the study group, the progress of labor using a partogram ( cervical dilation ,effacement ,consistency, position and station ) and the mode of delivery were assessed retrospectively.
a total of 400 women with gestational age 37 weeks or more and history of one vaginal delivery at least

On this image, the offline measurement of the angle formed by a line tangential to the occipital bone and a line tangential to the first vertebral body of the cervical spine (occiput-spine angle \> or = 126) will be performed to quantify the degree of fetal head flexion in respect to the trunk
