New insights on labor progression: a systematic review
2023, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyPerils of the new labor management guidelines
2015, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Some of the early data were collected using a mechanical cervimeter to obviate the potential subjectivity in clinical examination,9,44,45 and cervimetry by investigators using various tools confirmed the sigmoid nature of the dilatation curve.46-49 Limited data from more recently developed techniques to automate cervical assessment also appear consistent with the earlier observations.50,51 Sigmoid-shaped curves of cervical dilatation have even been described in cows, suggesting a common pattern of labor among mammalian species.52
How reliable is the determination of cervical dilation? Comparison of vaginal examination with spatial position-tracking ruler
2009, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :However, none of these cervicometers gained clinical acceptance, and most were used in fewer than 100 patients. Design and use of all these devices is outlined in reviews by van Dessel et al14 and Lucidi et al.15 Recently, Sharf et al16 and Farine et al17 used the Barnev cervicometer, which is a device that uses an ultrasound-based position tracker system and sensors hooked to the cervix.
