partogram

A partogram is a detailed chart used by healthcare providers to monitor a laboring woman's progress and the well-being of both mother and baby. It records key information such as the baby's heart rate, the mother's contractions, dilation of the cervix, and other vital signs over time. This continuous tracking helps medical teams identify any signs of complications early, ensuring timely intervention if needed. The partogram is an essential tool in labor management, promoting safe delivery by providing a clear, visual overview of the labor process.
