Popis: Worldwide, the partograph, also known as a partogram, is used as a labor monitoring tool to detect difficulties early, allowing for referral, intervention, or closer observations to follow. Despite widespread support from health experts, there are worries that the partograph has not yet fully realized its potential for enhancing therapeutic results. As a result, the instrument has undergone several changes, and numerous studies have been conducted to examine the obstacles and enablers to its use. Nevertheless, the partograph was widely embraced and has been a component of evaluating labor progress. Earlier it was also used as a standard method for monitoring labor progress. Even though it is widely used, there have been reports of usage and accurate execution rates. The WHO Labor Care Guide (LCG) was created so that medical professionals could keep an eye on the health of pregnant women and their unborn children during labor by conducting routine evaluations to spot any abnormalities. The tool intends to enhance women-centered care and encourage collaborative decision-making between women and healthcare professionals. The LCG is designed to be a tool for ensuring high-quality research centered on health, reducing pointless measures, and offering comfort measures.
