Abstract: Objective:To explore the effects of the old and new labor standards on delivery outcome.Methods:One hundred and five primipara with the first or second abnormal delivery according to the old Friedman partogram were randomly divided into the observation group(53 cases) and control group(52 cases).The control group were continually treated with the old labor standards,the observation group were treated with the new labor standards(2014).The labor intervention,delivery mode,postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal outcome between two groups were compared.Results:The rates of cesarean section and natural childbirth in observation group were significantly lower and higher than that in control group,respectively(P<0.01).The differences of the rates of intervention,postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal asphyxia between two groups were not statistically significant(P >0.05).Conclusions:The new labor standards treatment can improve the natural birth rate,significantly reduce the cesarean section rate and do not increase the complication.
