This comprehensive session will provide a thorough understanding of the physiologic effects of uterine activity on fetal and uterine acid-base balance during labor. Learn to identify and evaluate key components of uterine activity, avoid the “tachysystole trap,” and understand the physiology that supports fetal adaptation to labor. Designed to improve outcomes and reduce liability risks, this webinar will assist nurses, midwives and physicians in creating a shared mental model for the assessment and management of uterine activity during labor.

Learning Objectives:
