The administration of oxytocin (Pitocin) - extramural delivery - one that takes place outside of a normal delivery center



- If a pregnant patient’s rubella titer is less than 1:8, she should be immunized after delivery.

- The administration of oxytocin (Pitocin) is stopped if the contractions are 90 seconds or longer.

- For an extramural delivery (one that takes place outside of a normal delivery center), the priorities for care of the neonate include maintaining a patent airway, supporting efforts to breathe, monitoring vital signs, and maintaining adequate body temperature.
