Re: 41 week InductionFrom: Efrain Ramirez (eramirezt@coqui.net)Sun Dec 4 06:35:41 2005
One of the reasons, besides convenience (for the doctor and the patient), is fear of litigation. When a patient is on her 40th week a typical conversation with the patient AND her mother AND her mother in law would bring up the bad outcomes they have heard because of “waiting to long” – “fue un parto seco” – it was a “dry labor” - almost no stories on “bad” outcomes with inductions -- after a lot of explaining – one more week is accepted – after that… and specially in a multip. – and with the available data – the question is …why NOT go ahead and induce? – In the people’s mind – keep on waiting is “doing nothing” – --inducing one is "trying to avoid bad consequences" – in the event of an emergency C/S due to “failed induction”, failure to progress or “intolerance to labor” – the Doc did everything he could … that’s the way it is – at least down here….

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.
