Pitocin misuse is a root cause of the vast majority of birth injury lawsuits. And despite being listed in 2011 as a High Alert Medication by the ISMP, its use has only increased over the past two decades in the US, with 41% of primips being induced. This has massive implications for nursing care, staffing and burnout as well as patient safety and medical-legal impacts.
