Summary

This trial tests an intervention to reduce c-sections in first-time moms, without increasing harm to mother/baby, and is based on data from the Consortium for Safe Labor.

Who is the study for?
The REDUCED Trial is for first-time mothers at term (>= 37 weeks) with a baby in head-down position, delivering in Alberta centers that can perform cesarean sections and care during labor. Centers must handle over 70 such births yearly to participate.
What is being tested?
This trial tests the effectiveness of sharing new guidelines on managing difficult labor among healthcare providers. The goal is to lower cesarean section rates without increasing risks to mother or baby by using data-driven management practices.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves the implementation of knowledge rather than medication, there are no direct side effects from drugs. However, changes in labor management could potentially affect delivery experiences.
