Conclusion Strategies including cervical length screening, vaginal progesterone administration, cervical cerclage placement, and, potentially, 17-P administration may help reduce rates of preterm birth when used in the appropriate patient populations. Development of protocols for patient evaluation and risk stratification will help identify patients at highest risk for preterm birth and allow use of the best available therapeutic interventions.Background Technology is being integrated into all aspects of health care. While many applications offer novel experiences, the evidence supporting translation to improved education or care is evolving. Methods We review ways that technology is affecting a variety of fields pertinent to women's health, including patient communication, physician education, and health care performance. Results In the Ochsner Health Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, we have developed a platform known as Connected Maternity Online Monitoring-Connected MOM-to encourage remote monitoring during the prenatal course. We are also assessing improvements in quality and safety through a centralized fetal heart rate monitoring bunker known as TeleStork. Conclusion Through systematic integration of technology into the delivery of women's health care at Ochsner, we hope to demonstrate sustainable improvements in physician skills, patient access, and quality and safety.Background Although nitrous oxide (N2O) has been used since the 1880s for labor analgesia, its popularity has only recently increased in the United States. In 2011, only 3 centers in the country offered N2O, but as of 2020, several hundred labor units have adopted its use. Methods We reviewed the literature and summarize the mechanism of action, clinical uses, and efficacy of N2O for labor analgesia, as well
