I agree completely Joe. Lynn _____ From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of doctorjoe@aol.com Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 9:30 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Re: Antenatal Rhogham Interesting problem and one cannot be unsympathetic. Still, the risk of sensitization with this pregnancy, and then with possible effects on subsequent gestations, fairly mandates some action. The least expensive course might be to obtain the indirect Coombs first and detect any residual antibodies, which, if present, would indicate ongoing levels of RhoGam "protection". This would obviate the need for redosing before delivery, which would at least save the cost of the RhoGam now. On the other hand, if the screen is negative, then she needs another dose. Right?

She is 37 weeks now. Would anyone recommend repeating her rhogham since it has been 12 weeks and she is unlikely to deliver imminently? Thanks, Ingrid Gold,CNM PS She is uninsured and poor (and undocumented so ineligible for prenatal entitlement services), so would have to pay out of pocket for the bloodwork and Rhogham.

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.
