Algorithms developed in the UNC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Maternal Fetal Medicine Division are available in service to to providers of mothers and babies in North Carolina.
These algorithms are designed to assist the primary care provider in the clinical management of a variety of problems that occur during pregnancy. They should not be interpreted as standard of care, but instead represent guidelines for management. Variation in practice should take into account such factors as characteristics of the individual patient, health resources, and regional experience with diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
