WHO recommends use of a partograph, a chart for recording information about the progress of labor, as a key to avoiding prolonged labor and its complications. The partograph can help providers assess the conditions of the mother and fetus and identify when immediate medical care is needed. This partograph indicates an obstructed labor. The provider promptly recognized that action was needed and performed a cesarean section.
