Synnytyksen latenssivaihe ja sen hoito

Abstract

The latent phase of labour is a stage when the labour has begun but cervical opening is still slow. The<br/>duration of the latent phase varies, as does the women’s coping. Although there is usually no need to<br/>intervene in the delivery process during the latent phase, it is still necessary to identify those at risk of<br/>complications. Using a coping scale can identify those whose resources are in danger of decreasing.<br/>Care in the latent phase of labour needs to be tailored individually to the women’s needs and coping.
