Abstract :

Human parturition has been termed “labour” in recognition of hard work that parturient as well as the uterine myometrium has to perform in order to deliver the fetus. Programmed labour protocol is developed to hasten the labour process and to reduce the pain of labour for better obstetric and neonatal outcome. Objectives :To study the effect of active management of labour on duration of labour.To study the effect of pain relief in labour with synergistic use of analgesics and anti spasmodic.To evaluate progress of labour with the use of partogram. Methodology:The study included 100 normal pregnant women in labour,both primi and multigravida,selected and randomly allocated as cases and controls.They were subjected to active management of labour which was monitored by partogram.The cases were provided with good analgesia during labour. Results:Total duration of labour was 3.4hrs in study group,as compared to 6.02hrs in control group.62% of cases in study group had moderate pain relief during labour,whereas patients in control group had no pain relief.There was no major maternal morbidity and no respiratory depression in the neonates. Conclusions:Overall duration of labour is significantly reduced and analgesia produced is quite effective.Side effects are minor in the mother and the fetus.
