The authors have developed and implemented the ultrasound protocol in labor, including the patient’s data, anamnesis, features of the labor, data of the fetus, and the parameters that characterize each stage of labor. The use of the protocol allows to register all events during labor and can be used later for scientific analysis and quality control of childbirth. The use of ultrasound findings allows, on the one hand, to timely decide on operative delivery, and, on the other hand, to avoid unnecessary surgical interventions.

Key words: labour, fetus position, transabdominal ultrasound examination, transperineal ultrasound examination, protocol.
