One in three pregnant patients run the risk of experiencing uterine tachysystole (UT) during labor augmentation or induction with oxytocin. Reducing UT diagnosis-to-treatment time can avert adverse patient outcomes and decrease the risk of an obstetric malpractice claim. This two-part series focuses on early recognition utilizing EFM skills and swift management of uterine tachysystole (UT) based on professional organizations’ guidelines.
