The study has been carried out with the aim of estimating the diagnostic value of measuring external pelvic diameters of primiparous women. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the correlation of external pelvic diameters of 447 primiparous women, who have been referred to Um al-Banin Hospital of Mashhad city was measured, while their cervix has been dilated ≥5 cm. progress of labor was controlled by a researcher who was unaware about the pelvic diameters. Regarding abnormal progress of labor in cesarean or vacuum, they were set as criteria to diagnose dystocia.Results: The most sensitivity was related to transverse diagonal of Michaelis Sacral Rhomboid Area (60.7%) intertrochanteric line (57%). Conclusion: External measurement of pelvic diameters is useful to predict more than 60 percent of dystocia cases in the primiparous women. |
