Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt???

She was admitted and went from 4 to delivery of the head in 10 minutes. What would you have done in that 10 minutes if you had known of her prior two SD deliveries? BTW, approx half of SD cases have a rapid or precipitous labor.

Not one thing in her prenatal ecords to indicate any complications of either pregnancy or delivery. Not a good situation when you have just met the patient--slightly easier when you are familiar and have some type of rapport with the patient.

You were caught up in a "process error". Had you or her physician known about her difficult previous deliveries - a different course of action might have been taken?

Avoiding "process errors" should be the goal of every labor and delivery unit in the country (or the World). This philosophy has been adopted with great success in the airline industry.

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.
