Need some help with a case. We performed a SAH in a patient with HCV and cirrhosis. She was doing fine on the post-op, but on PO day 3 she started to drain ascitis from the surgical wound. She was draining 1000ml/day. We started to give her diuretics, and on day 7, she is draining only 300ml/day. I would like to know if you guys have any experience on these sort of case. My concerns: she will make a fistula, and will spoliate a lot from the ascitis. Thank you -- Ricardo Savaris, MD Porto Alegre - Brazil hope you remember me Next message: DoctorJoe@aol.com: "FRI: And now: For the yearly BIG SIGH!" Previous message: Braun, R.

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.
