General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six
Uterine atony is the major cause of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), accounting for up to 80% of PPH cases. PPH is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide, resulting in up to 28% of maternal deaths. Therefore, inducing a rapid and effective uterine contraction following delivery

Postoperative wound complications are one of the great issues in cesarean section (CS) with an incidence ranging from 3% to 30%.1 Obesity, operative time, diabetes, age of the patient, anemia, associated infection (e.g chorioamnionitis), the use of internal monitoring, delayed labor with many
Despite its limitations, fetal heart rate (FHR) tracing analysis is the best monitor of fetal well being during labor. Typically, continuous electronic fetal monitoring is via transabdominal ultrasound (CTG: cardiotocograph). A transducer is strapped to the maternal abdomen and positioned in such a
Chorioamnionitis complicates 1-3% of pregnancies at term. The current international guidelines of the Center for Disease Control (CDC 2010) recommend that all asymptomatic newborns born to mothers with suspected chorioamnionitis undergo limited evaluation (i.e. blood culture at birth and complete
Study Design:
This is a follow-up to the original pilot study (HS# 2009-7015 at UCI/587-08 at LBMMC). This study is also designed to be a prospective, non-randomized, non-blinded trial of the effects of obesity on adequacy of antimicrobial (cefazolin) concentrations with increased doses (from 2

BACKGROUND:
Induction of labor is performed in 25% of all women who present for delivery at the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center (1). The commonality of labor induction is not only a local issue. The national cesarean rate has risen to 31.1%, which represents a 50% increase since 1996 (2). Part
