28: Duration of 2nd stage of labor induction and maternal/perinatal outcomes in full-term low-risk nulliparas

Allowing a longer second stage (SS) increases the number of vaginal deliveries (VD) but women with longer SS are more likely to have a cesarean delivery (CD) and adverse maternal/perinatal outcomes than those with shorter SS. We sought to quantify the association of the duration of SS with CD and maternal/perinatal morbidity in a contemporary cohort of low-risk nulliparas who underwent induction of labor (IOL) at full term (FT).
