June 22, 2011 updated by: Barnev, Inc.

Management of Labor Using the BirthTrack Computerized Labor Monitoring System

The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that using the BirthTrack for management of labor shortens the time to delivery and thus improves both maternal and perinatal outcomes.
