Summary

In the 2010-french perinatal survey, the overall cesarean section (CS) rate during labour was 21 % and 16% to 38% in case of dystocia.

The definition of " dystocia " is traditionally based on the research led by Friedman in the 1950's on a restricted population sample. Several studies over the last years seem to indicate that the different phases of labour are longer than originally described by Friedman.

Our current hypothesis is that the application of a new definition of dystocia would enable a more appropriate management of labour.

Conditions

  • Dystocia

Interventions

OTHER

New partograph based on the studies of Neal and Lowe

The partograph designed by Neal and Lowe includes an "action line" which if crossed permits an active management of labour. Eventually, the only difference between the two arms is the moment when the active management of labour is started. The oxytocin is administrated according to the department protocol.

OTHER

Classical partograph

Classical partograph used as standard care
