Overview
Brief Summary
Investigators will perform a multicentric randomized controlled trial comparing the effect of transabdominal and transperineal ultrasound in pregnant women in the second stage of labor, in whom it was decided an operative delivery. Our objective is to evaluate the impact of intrapartal ultrasound measurements, as an auxiliary to clinical evaluation, in the efficacy of an instrumental delivery.
