Description of CME Course
A shift in the care of low-risk pregnant women has occurred. Moving away from a high-interventional approach towards a low-interventional approach has started, but universal adoption by providers and hospitals is lagging. Intermittent Auscultation (IA) should be included in the expectant management of low-risk pregnant patients when clinically applicable. This education activity outlines how to safely adopt IA into clinical practice and offers solutions to mitigate potential risks.
