Intrauterine‐pressure studies in African nulliparae: normal labour progress

摘要: Uterine activity was measured in 29 nulliparous African women, who were the active phase of spontaneous labour, and delivered vaginally without supplementary oxytocin. A fluid-filled intrauterine catheter, an external strain gauge a pressure-curve integrator used to quantitate uterine activity. The rate dilatation cervix from entry study full greater than 1 cm/h; this constituted normal labour progress. In women minimum level likely be associated with cervical cm/h 1200 kPas/15 min median 1824 min.
