Head Perineum Distance Measurement as a Predictor of Delivery Outcome Using Transperineal Sonography

Abstract

Digital vaginal examination has been used to determine the possibility of vaginal delivery because many women find vaginal birth difficult. The use of transperineal ultrasonography, which allows direct visualisation of the fetal skull, to forecast the direction of labor has recently become popular. Ultrasound can assist obstetricians in advising patients and predicting the mode and outcome of labor. The aim of work to determine the role of transperineal ultrasonography in measuring the fetal head perineum distance as a predictor of labor course and outcome, with the objective of lowering complications for both the mother and the newborn as a result of prolonged labor.
