OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess maternal and perinatal outcomes as a function of second-stage labor duration.STUDY DESIGN: We assessed outcomes in nulliparous laboring women who were enrolled in a trial of fetal pulse oximetry.RESULTS: Of 5341 participants, 4126 women reached the second stage of labor. As the duration of the second stage increased, spontaneous vaginal delivery rates declined, from 85% when the duration was < 1 hour to 9% when it was >= 5 hours. Adverse maternal outcomes that were associated significantly with the duration of the second stage of labor included chorioamnionitis (overall rate, 3.9%), third-or fourth-degree perineal laceration (overall rate, 8.7%), and uterine atony (overall rate, 3.9%). Odds ratios for each additional hour of the second stage of labor ranged from 1.3-1.8. Among individual adverse neonatal outcomes, only admission to a neonatal intensive care unit was associated significantly with second stage duration (odds ratio, 1.4).CONCLUSION: The second stage of labor does not need to be terminated for duration alone.
