PY - 2015 T2 - Oxorn-Foote Human Labor & Birth, 6e AB - In the diagnosis of obstetric and fetal conditions, ultrasound is a valuable and frequently used tool. Traditionally, labor and delivery units have managed with “hand-me-down” scanners, retired from the hospitals' main ultrasound department. More recently, numerous feature-packed and extremely portable ultrasound machines have appeared that are designed for bedside imaging in the acute setting. This has allowed advances in prenatal ultrasound to be transferred to the intrapartum setting and enabled novel approaches to age-old assessments. Changing patient demographics, including increasing maternal obesity, are further drivers for change.
