I due diametri obliqui dell’ingresso pelvico (stretto superiore della pelvi) nel bacino normoconformato rappresentano gli assi di due aree ovoidali, dette aree di impegno.

using transperineal ultrasound (TPU)

TPU imaging was used to measure the angle of headdescent during the second stage of labor in 23women.
Head descent was quantified by measuring the angle
32
Head descent was quantified by measuring the anglebetween the long axis of the pubic symphysis and a lineextending from its most inferior portion tangentially tothe fetal skull
Intraobserver and interobserver variability werecalculated using variance component analysis.

Discesa p.p e modalità di parto
Results
Spontaneous delivery occurred in all cases in which theTPU angle exceeded 120°.
Among the six patients who had Cesarean Sections forfailure to progress ((2626%%)),, clinical digital assessment of
40
failure to progress ((2626%%)),, clinical digital assessment offetal head station was +2 or more.
Conclusions
The angle of head descent measured by TPU imagingprovides an objective, accurate and reproducible meansfor assessing descent of the fetal head during labor

Discesa p.p e modalità di parto
Conclusions
The low intraobserver and interobserver variabilityvalidates the accuracy of this technique.
The relationship between fetal head descent assessed
41
The relationship between fetal head descent assessedby digital examination and by TPU imaging clearlyshows a particularly poor correlation in mid-station(clinical station, −2 to 0), reflecting how difficult it isfor clinicians to accurately quantify clinical headstation using the more subjective method of digitalexamination.

Conclusions
We are hoping that, after further investigation, TPU
imaging may have the potential to be used as a more
42
accurate tool in decision making in the event of true
failure to progress in labor and that it may aid in
guiding clinicians with regards to operative vaginal
delivery

The infrapubic line is perpendicular to the long axis of the pubic symphysis. The parallel plane through the ischial spines is 3 cm below the infrapubic line, and is used to measure true head station (‘ITU station’).
A study of progress of labour
Intrapartum translabial ultrasound parameters wererecorded at the height of pushing.
Results
Vaginal delivery (either spontaneous or operative)
45
Vaginal delivery (either spontaneous or operative)occurred in:
33 of 34 (97%) women for an ITU station greater than+2.0 cm,
32 of 34 (94%), for a head direction >22°, and
34 of 36 (94%) women with angle of descent >135°

There was good repeatability for ITU head station,AoD, and head direction, both for the same and fortwo different examiners.

50 pregnant women with normal singleton termpregnancies, mostly in the second stage of normalspontaneous labour, were included: there were 28normal vaginal birth, 13 attempted and successfulinstrumental, and nine caesarean deliveries (18%)

A study of progress of labour
Results
The changes of ITU-measured head station and head directionduring a contraction with pushing differed with head station: atstations between -3 and -2 cm, the average descent during acontraction was 2.5 cm, between -2 and +2 cm it was 1 cm, and atstations between +2 and +3 cm it was 2.2 cm.
48
stations between +2 and +3 cm it was 2.2 cm.
In the upper part of the birth canal and down to head station +2cm, head directions varied, but mostly changed from down tohorizontal. The average change of head direction during acontraction per 1 cm of head descent overall was +10°, butbetween head station +2 and +3 cm there was a markedlyincreased change of head direction during a contraction (onaverage +18°)

Vaginal birth is a natural process, but occasionallyrequires urgent medical intervention.

Our new data may improve our understanding of normaland abnormal labour, enable objective measurement ofbirth progress, and provide a more scientific basisfor assessing labour.
B. Tutschek,… W. Henrich BJOG 2011;118:62–69
We speculate that ITU may reduce the risks ofassisted labour, and that it might even avoidunnecessary caesarean deliveries (18% TC !!)

One of the most difficult dilemmas in clinicalobstetrics is that presented by a nulliparous woman atterm who had a protracted active phase of labor,received an epidural, and now has a prolonged secondstage of labor.
50
stage of labor.
The head appears to be low, but there is alwaysuncertainty as to whether this reflects caput. Shouldthis situation be handled with an operative vaginaldelivery (forceps or vacuum) or a Cesarean section?

Roberto Romero
Ultrasound can play a role by:
1) identifying precisely the fetal position;
2) diagnosing whether caput is present and its extent;
51
3) assessing the fetal station; and
4) when ultrasound has been used serially, documentingthe degree of progress that has been made during thesecond stage

Conclusioni
Conclusioni:
A) Serve un “matrimonio” tra ecografisti e clinici in sala
parto… (vedi 18 e 26 % di TC nel secondo stadio)
52
B) Cerchiamo di capire il parto, anche con gli ultrasuoni
C) Non interferire negativamente con il parto
introducendo metodiche non standardizzate e non EBM
Conclusioni
Conclusioni:
D) Utilizzare la metodica (standardizzata) in situazioni
di necessità e non generalizzate (la > parte partorisce
bene senza interferenze!)
