The heparin was discouraged/delayed because we were told there was no good evidence that it helps if the dx is spt, and that time to defervesence does not vary based on use/nonuse of heparin if there was spt. This, apparently, was from the Cunningham Study. > > Drs.

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.
