Description of CME Course
The prevention and treatment of preterm labor (PTL) has shifted focus away from the pregnant patient and has become a means of improving newborn outcomes. The over treatment of women with complaints of preterm labor without objective evidence is no longer acceptable. A care model that limits care to high-risk women with a diagnosis based on the use of PTL screening tools is now the paradigm. ACOG and SMFM provide PTL management guidelines. The second of this two-part series applies these recommendations into an electronic fetal monitoring case study to improve critical thinking regarding early identification of EFM data significant for PTL.
