So, my question is: Do y'all treat low-risk GBS-unknown moms in labor, and if so, why?

Anna, where I work, the preprinted orders say to treat GBS unknown with Ampicillin. Why? I don't know. When I started at this hospital I asked the MDs on call and the answer I got was "We just feel better treating everyone." If I cross out the order the nurse will call the MD on call and get him to give her a verbal order to treat. CDC guidelines have no place 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.
