Application of ultrasound in delivery room / 中国实用妇科与产科杂志

ABSTRACT

One of the new requirements for modern standardized management in obsterics is the use of ultrasound in the delivery room.Ultrasound can help clinicians to identify the fetal condition,fetal presentation and placental location,and the circumstances of uterine and abdominal cavity quickly and accurately in managing obstetric emergencies.It can also guide the management of labour progress,the selection of suitable mode of delivery,the appropriate operation to assist delivery,and the interventional operations. In recent years,there have been many progresses in the application of ultrasound in the labor ward,such as new indicators for the evaluation of labor progressing with ultrasonic,ultrasound-guided anesthesia and tracheal intubation,and evaluation of cardiac volume load and cardiac function and so on.So it can provide further protection for maternal and infant safety.
