“The Best of Both Worlds” a content analysis of midwives’ perspectives on using ultrasound for labour progress assessment
Midwives support evidence-based technological advancements that benefit clients without increasing unnecessary interventions. They believe ultrasound complements traditional vaginal exams and is a valuable option for certain groups of women. Midwives need to be involved in the implementation of new methods to ensure client well-being. Further research is needed to evaluate the benefits of using ultrasound for labour progress assessment.
