Abstract: To study the practical value of ultrasound application to labor and delivery for obstetrical problems, 92 cases in delivery room were investigated in amniotic fluid volume, fetal position, biophysical profile and other problems. Amniotic fluid was decreased in some cases of >41 weeks, cases of premature of membranes and IUGR were more than those of < 41 weeks (P < 0.01). The use of ultrasound in labor to confirm fetal position is more convenience than manual examination. Biophysical profile combined with NST can increase exactitude of fetal distress. It is useful to diagnosis of placenta previa, abruptio placenta and other abnormality in labor and delivery. The use of ultrasound in labor and delivery plays an important role in detecting obstetrical problems, fetal position, amniotic fluid volume and Biophysical profile.

Key words: ultrasound, amniotic fluid volume, fetal position, biophysical profile
