These assessments require skillful physical diagnosis and the ability to translate the acquired information into meaningful prognostic decision-making. We describe a coordinated approach to the assessment of labor. Graphing of serial measurements of cervical dilatation and fetal station creates \u201clabor curves,\u201d which provide diagnostic and prognostic information. Based on these curves we recognize nine discrete labor abnormalities. Many may be related to insufficient or disordered contractile mechanisms. Several factors are strongly associated with development of labor disorders, including cephalopelvic disproportion, excess analgesia, fetal malpositions, intrauterine infection, and maternal obesity. Clinical cephalopelvimetry involves assessing pelvic traits and predicting their effects on labor. These observations must be integrated with information derived from the labor curves. Exogenous oxytocin is widely used. It has a high therapeutic index, but is easily misused. Oxytocin treatment should be restricted to situations in which its potential benefits clearly outweigh its risks. This requires there be a documented labor dysfunction or a legitimate medical reason to shorten the labor. Normal labor and delivery pose little risk to a healthy fetus; but dysfunctional labors, especially if stimulated excessively by oxytocin or terminated by complex operative vaginal delivery, have the potential for considerable harm. Conscientiously implemented, the approach to the evaluation of labor outlined in this review will result in a reasonable cesarean rate and minimize risks that may accrue from the labor and delivery process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpm-2020-0256","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,24]],"date-time":"2020-10-24T05:35:15Z","timestamp":1603517715000},"page":"241-253","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Clinical evaluation of labor: an evidence- and experience-based approach"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Wayne R.","family":"Cohen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , University of Arizona College of Medicine , Tucson , AZ , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emanuel A.","family":"Friedman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Biology , Harvard Medical School , Boston, MA , USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023092212122970167_j_jpm-2020-0256_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cohen, WR, Friedman, EA.
