DOI: 10.1007/s40477-022-00662-7
Abstract: Because of the inaccuracy of the biparietal diameter in cases with an engaged fetal head in the pelvis, measuring the estimated fetal weigh (EFW) using Hadlock’s formula could be compromised in these cases. The aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2019.05.040
Abstract: BACKGROUND The diagnosis of labor dystocia is generally determined by the deviation of labor progress, which is assessed by the use of partogram. Recently, intrapartum transperineal ultrasound for the assessment of fetal head descent has… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2020.10.004
Abstract: BACKGROUND Ultrasound offers objective and reproducible methods to measure fetal head station. Before these methods can be applied to assess labor progress, fetal head descent needs to be evaluated longitudinally in well-defined populations and compared… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1602658
Abstract: Objective During labor the fetal head is subjected to pressure related to uterine contractions and maternal pushing. Here we systematically review what is known about fetal head compression and its effects on fetal intracranial pressure, oxygenation,… read more here.
