There was even some ratio of head circumference by ultrasound and CT of the pelvis to predict success of delivery. Denise, you mentioned 5500g EFW as a cutoff for C/S without labor. Many people say 4500g for a non-diabetic, 4000g for a diabetic. If we section for macrosomia to avoid, say, a shoulder dystocia, we have to section hundreds to avoid permanent injury (or some large number), as shown by John Owen and colleagues at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

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.
