title: Using and archiving the labor curves.
abstract: Optimal interpretation of the events of labor requires integration of information about cervical changes, fetal descent, uterine contractions, fetal position and attitude, as well as fetal heart rate monitoring and maternal condition. The use and understanding of labor curves is a vital part of this process. The complexity and diversity of labor data lend itself to computer storage and analysis.
