Core Tip
Core Tip: We adopted three-dimensional trans-perineal ultrasound to examine the subpubic arch angle (SPAA) distributional characteristics, and to ascertain the SPAA’s ability to predict the length of the second stage of labor and normal vaginal birth. We herein provided a noninvasive, low-cost tool to reduce the number of emergency cesarean deliveries conducted during labor.
