title: The partogram: a graphic guide to progress in labour.
abstract: The use of the partogram of Philpott, Studd, has proved to be a very valuable aid in the early detection of abnormal progress in labour. The graphic representation of all the relevant data of the labour on one sheet of paper has been received enthusiastically by the nursing and medical staff alike and has allowed the earlier detection of abnormal patterns of labour. It is considered that the partogram should become an essential part of the documentation of labour in all patients.
