Demedicalization of spontaneous labor in low-risk women: Impact on maternal and fetal prognosis - 2021.


52

The objective of this study was to evaluate the obstetric and neonatal consequences of a new protocol for the management of spontaneous labor in low-risk patients. This new algorithm was significantly associated with a longer period of complete dilatation in the nulliparous (p = 0.004), a decrease in the rate of amniotomy (p = 0.04), and a decrease in oxytocin consumption (p = 0.03). An increase in oxytocin use was also observed (p = 0.03).
