Siegel, M.D.: "Clincial Pelvimetry" Clinical pelvimetry...independent of any actual medical issue, were there to be an adverse outcome, and were CPD or complication of induction to occur, plaintiff's attorney will definitely have a paragraph in the suit papers calling one and all's attention to the deviation from good clinical practice evidenced by such a disregard for proper pelvic assessment. I knew a university department attending who never failed to provide some such wording on virtually all the plaintiff attorney case reviews she did. As she would put it, attention to an entry re pelvic adequacy will save all concerned some depsition time and eliminate at least one paragraph in the attorney's litany of charges of substandard practice.

I think we would agree that induction with pre-eclampsia at term is warranted, and if she's not progressing, she's not progressing. Her reticence to proceed to a section allowed a fever to develop, and she didn't progress, got antibiotics, and still had a section. Dan, this patient did not have an assessment of her pelvis before induction. Listers, would you expect a CNM or MD to have done so? Dan, had I personally assessed her pelvis in the office, and told her that it was not good, and that the chance of success was poor, I think she would have looked at me like I was crazy, and then asked why not try. I have not been successful convincing/selling/arguing/cajoling patients who are not accepting of honestly given advice and direction, and, you know, they don't always do what you want/tell them to do.

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.
