Intrapartum Care

by Veronica Gillispie, MD, MAS, FACOG

Labor is the process by which a fetus and placenta are delivered from the uterus through the vagina. Women often present to triage in the obstetrics department with chief complaints of painful contractions, fluid leakage, vaginal bleeding, and concern for labor. However, it is the clinician’s responsibility to determine whether the patient is actually in labor.

Successful labor involves three factors: maternal efforts and uterine contractions, fetal characteristics, and pelvic anatomy. Clinicians can use a multimodal approach to monitor labor and determine whether it has begun. Cervical dilation, effacement, and the fetal positioning or station can be determined via serial cervical examinations, while continuous fetal heart monitoring is used to monitor the health of the fetus during the labor process. In addition, the frequency and the quality of contractions are monitored using a technique called cardiotocography.
