[Active labour management in primiparas. Prospective study].
The objective of our study was prospectively compare the effect in the rate of cesarean section of active labor management and of traditional labor management in primiparas with physiological term pregnancy. From september 1, 1993 to may 31, 1994, 145 primiparas with physiological term pregnancy were randomly assigned to one group of active labor management (study group, n = 75) and to one group of traditional labor management (control group, n = 70). Cesarean section rate was 9.3% in the study group and 20% in the control group (p < 0.05). There was no increase in fetal morbidity or mortality. Active labor management can reduce cesarean section rate in primiparas with physiological term pregnancy.
