Episode: 🚨NEW DATA🚨: N95 Masks for 2nd Stage of Labor? (AJOG MAY 2020 Clinical Perspectives)
Description: Multiple societies and experts have weighed in on whether 2nd stage of labor warrants universal use of respirators (e.g., N95 masks) vs surgical masks. The ACOG/SMFM has petitioned the CDC for clarity on this issue. In May 2020, the AJOG published a new “clinical perspective“ in MFM which is pushing for use of 1 mask over the other. We will highlight this new development in this session.
