Women’s Health and Primary Care professionals are being asked to see more patients with less time and fewer resources. Trusted medical information often already exists but finding it quickly is a challenge, while the ever-increasing virtual mountain of new data makes it even harder to separate the ‘signal’ from the ‘noise’. We created The ObG Project to be that resource, which can provide the information you need, quickly and easily accessible and now as podcasts with ObG GrandRounds Live, OBG CORExchange, and OBG Curbside.

"Respecting Patient Autonomy" Vaginal Birth After Cesarean with Dr. Sarah Petruska

Today we talked to Dr. Sarah Petruska about Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC). We covered how to Assess factors that impact risks and benefits of a trial of labor after cesarean, describe the role of maternal autonomy in the decision for cesarean, how to assess the patient’s chance for a successful trial of labor, and how to identify factors that patients may weigh when deciding the value successful VBAC holds for them.

Supporting patients in their choice for Trial of Labor after Cesarean is an important part of reducing the cesarean delivery rate. In addition, thinking about how we counsel patients about this topic gives us an opportunity to examine the language we use in all of the counseling we do, to make sure we communicate with patients in a way that respects autonomy. Historical data on factors that affected patients' chances for successful VBAC give us a window on racial and ethnic disparities in obstetrical practice.
