The Edith Louise Potter Memorial Lecture: Have We Arrived?
This session will focus on an evaluation and interpretation of studies on labor induction among low-risk nulliparous individuals at 39 weeks. Historical belief has been that inducing labor increases the risk of cesarean delivery and other adverse obstetric outcomes. This talk will trace the evolution of this idea over time to the contemporary understanding of labor induction and the corresponding approach to patient-centered care. |
