“Intrapartum, Isolated Maternal fever”: Clinical Outcomes.
Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description
In 2017, the ACOG released committee opinion (CO) 712 which described the 3 categories of intrapartum fever. One of those categories was “isolated intrapartum fever”. In that CO, the ACOG stated that practitioners “should consider” the use of antibiotics in patients with isolated intrapartum fever. However, there was no evidence to support or refute that. But that evidence has now arrived. In this episode, we will discuss an upcoming publication from the AJOG (November 2023) providing important insights into the treatment of “isolated, intrapartum fever”.
