The only ruptured uterus I have ever seen in an unscared uterus was a grandmultip that was augmented. I trained with an Ob who took care of Orthodox Jewish patients who often were G8 and more, he never even thought of going near them with oxytocin. And ofcourse grandmultips have no trouble ruputuring all on their own with no oxytocin.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
