Aims:
Primary aim is to investigate outcomes of eutocic labor, evaluating intrapartum ultrasound parameters by AIDA method: Angle of progression (AoP), Asynclitism degree (AD), fetal head-symphysis distance (HSD), and midline angle (MLA).
Secondary aim is to investigate outcomes of dystocic labor, evaluating intrapartum ultrasound parameters by AIDA method: Angle of progression (AoP), Asynclitism degree (AD), fetal head-symphysis distance (HSD), and midline angle (MLA).
Tertiary aim is to investigate of neonatal outcomes of eutocic labor: Apgar scores at 1 min, Apgar scores at 5 min.
Quaternary aim is to investigate of neonatal outcomes of dystocic labor: Apgar scores at 1 min, Apgar scores at 5 min.
