    Notes: The incidence of maternal mortality related to sepsis has decreased during the past 2 decades because of the availability of broad spectrum antibiotics and advances in critical care. However, sepsis continues to account for approximately 7.6% of maternal deaths in the United States. This article focuses on intraamniotic infection as a source of maternal sepsis. Common causative pathogens, typical sources of sepsis, and related pathophysiology are reviewed. Nursing and medical management strategies are included. A case study is presented to illustrate the typical clinical course from infection, to bacteremia, sepsis, and septic shock.

    Notes: Acute fatty liver of pregnancy is a serious complication of the 3rd trimester associated with high rates of maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to achieve optimal maternal-fetal outcomes. Collaboration between critical-care and perinatal nursing staffs is a crucial component of managing patient care. A recent case of acute fatty liver of pregnancy is reported. A team approach resulted in the survival of the patient and the delivery of healthy twins.

    Notes: The labor induction rate is at an all-time high in the United States. Although induction of labor is recommended as a therapeutic option only when the benefits of expeditious birth outweigh the risks of continuing the pregnancy, a “psychosocial indication” has become a common rationale for elective induction in the United States. It is unlikely that all women are provided with a complete discussion of the cascade of interventions that frequently accompany labor induction and the risks of cesarean birth. Although at first glance elective labor induction may seem more convenient, an appreciation of the inconvenience of the greater rates of interventions, the longer labor and overall hospital stay, the higher costs, the additional attention required by the primary health care provider when complications occur, and the risk of an adverse outcome for a mother or baby after an elective procedure with subsequent litigation should cause everyone to exercise caution and reevaluate current practice. Professional organizations should take proactive steps to advocate for pregnant women so they are fully aware of the risks and benefits. A public campaign to discourage elective labor induction for nulliparous women is worth serious consideration.

    Notes: Objective: To examine how expert perinatal nurses in a nurse-managed labor model view their role in caring for mothers during labor and birth. Design: Focus group methodology. Data were analyzed using inductive coding methods to gain understanding from the perspective of those providing the care. Setting: Labor and birth units in four large Midwestern medical centers. Participants: Fifty-four expert labor nurses. Inclusion criteria: 5 years experience in nursing care during labor and birth in institutions where nurse-managed labor was the predominant practice model. Results: Four common themes related to nursing roles were identified. These included knowing the labor process and the intuitive nature of nursing care provided by expert labor nurses based on years of experience, knowing the woman and letting her body guide labor, advocacy for laboring woman, and the autonomous nature of the nurse-managed labor model. Conclusions: Expert labor nurses developed a keen sense of intuitive knowledge based on their years of experience. They reported using hands-on high-touch supportive care techniques with the potential to affect labor and birth outcomes. Autonomy is perceived as a key component of practice within the nurse-managed labor model.
