Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This observational clinical audit aims to evaluate the recording and management of labour progress and the use of assisted vaginal birth in women admitted with the intention of vaginal delivery.
The progress of labour is monitored using partograph or WHO Labour Care Guide standards. Assisted vaginal birth is recommended in eligible women with delay in the second stage, yet rates have declined in many settings.
This criterion-based clinical audit will review labour records of women admitted with the intention of vaginal birth and will include an anonymous staff survey to identify barriers to the use of assisted vaginal delivery.
