Description
Early amniotomy for induction of labor (between 3-4 cm depending) has been a controversial discussion at the bedside and among L&D nurses. In this episode, Justine and Sarah discuss the current research and professional recommendations for early AROM as well as the risks altogether of AROM (in general) and early AROM. Does it really increase risk? As nurses, we frequently hear how frustrating this is in the current movement towards physiologic birth. What other evidence and information is lacking surrounding early artificial rupture of membranes? How could it affect the physiologic birth process? As labor & delivery nurses, we need to know how to manage these conversations and clinical scenarios with providers, so let’s talk about it! They’ll share their opinions and discuss how to anticipate and prepare for working with providers and give you a script on how to educate a patient about amnioinfusion following an AROM. All that and more!
