Save the Pitocin! Safe to stop Pit once in Active Phase?

from Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls · host Dr. Chapa’s Clinical Pearls

The United States is currently facing an oxytocin shortage. How long this medication shortage is projected to continue is not clear. In an attempt to curb unnecessary use of oxytocin, is it safe to consider stopping oxytocin after induction, once the active phase of labor is reached? Is there data to support the practice? And what about using oxytocin for first trimester D&C? Is that evidence-based? In this session, we will review the data regarding discontinuation of oxytocin once the active phase of labor is reached. Is it safe? Is this effective? Let’s find out!
