Labor Care Guide Application (LCG)
Labor Care Guide Application in Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Studieöversikt
Detaljerad beskrivning
The Labor Care Guide (LCG) is a tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to support evidence-based, woman-centered intrapartum care and improve labor monitoring. It was introduced as an alternative to the traditional partograph, aiming to facilitate timely clinical decision-making and enhance the quality of maternity care.
This randomized controlled trial was conducted at Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital to evaluate the effect of the WHO Labor Care Guide on maternal and neonatal outcomes among women undergoing vaginal delivery. Eligible pregnant women were randomly assigned to one of two groups: a study group monitored using the WHO Labor Care Guide and a control group monitored using the modified WHO partograph.
Participants underwent routine obstetric assessment and monitoring throughout labor according to the allocated monitoring tool. Maternal outcomes assessed included labor progression, mode of delivery, and intrapartum and postpartum complications. Neonatal outcomes included neonatal well-being, need for neonatal intensive care admission, and neonatal complications. Healthcare provider satisfaction with the labor monitoring tool was also evaluated.
The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the WHO Labor Care Guide with the modified WHO partograph in supporting labor management and improving maternal and neonatal care.
