Summary
Reducing the length of labor is a highly desirable goal of intrapartum care, both from a
perspective of maternal and fetal well-being , and for the providers of the birth services.
Avoiding a long , protracted labor entails shorter exposure to pain anxiety and stress and
would translate into a major improvement in maternal satisfaction with the child birth
experience.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of metoclopramide for reducing
the duration of spontaneous labor among nulliparous women managed according to a standard
intrapartum protocol.
