“…The partogram may be a useful tool in increasing the quality of all observations on the fetus and mother in labor. It may lead to early problem detection and has many potential benefits on the active management of labor (15,10). However, the use of a partogram is controversial, particularly in elective cesarean section cases, in which no advantages are observed because there is no labor (16).…”

“…It detects labor that is not progressing normally, indicates when augmentation of labor is appropriate and recognizes cephalo-pelvic disproportion long before labor becomes "obstructed". It serves as an early warning system and assists in early decision making on transfer, augmentation and termination of labour (2).…”

Objective:To compare two World Health Organization (WHO) partographs -a composite partograph including the latent phase with a simplified one without the latent phase in women with uncomplicated pregnancy. Material and Methods:This was a randomized controlled trial conducted at a tertiary hospital at Belgaum, India. 743 women with term, singleton, vertex gestation, in spontaneous labor were included in the study over a period of one year. Either of the partographs was used on laboring women. The following outcomes were compared: labor crossing the alert and action line, augmentation of labor, rate of cesarean section, perinatal outcome, user friendliness and maternal complications. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square test. Results:Labor values crossed the alert and action lines significantly more often when composite partograph was used (p<0.001) in each, with increased number of augmentations (p<0.001). The number of vaginal deliveries were high (p<0.005) in the simplified group. There was no significant difference in the rate of cesarean deliveries due to non progress of labor in both groups (p=0.68). NICU admissions were higher in the composite group (p=0.035). Most resident doctors (93%) experienced difficulty with the composite partograph, but no resident doctor reported difficulty with the simplified partograph. The mean SD user friendliness score was lower for the composite partograph (2.87±1.86 vs 10.67±1.61; p<0.005). Conclusion:The WHO simplified partograph is easier to use and is a better option for both the laboring women and the user, when compared to composite partograph.

“…Complications during birth, such as obstructed and prolonged labour are established risks for perinatal mortality, yet they are common sights in our everyday practice. Current obstetric practices such as the use of partographs in monitoring labour had proven so effective in preventing these conditions (Orji et al, 2007;Fatusi et al, 2008), yet, this simple and inexpensive practice eludes many Nigerian parturients.…”
