Gee thanks. But I was talking about the risks in comparison to a vaginal birth. These are risks that are absent or negligable with a vaginal birth.

<<but I can’t remember the last c/s we did under general.>>

A crash section (the baby has to be out within 30 mins of the decison being made) will sometimes be done under a GA if the woman has not had an epidural. All electives are done under spinal unless a woman insists on a GA. Our epiduarl rate is much lower. There was research published a few weeks back that linked epidurals with operative deliveries so they've gone down even more. Do your women have TEDS and clexane prescribed after a section?

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.
