Re: Intrapartum GBBS ProphylaxisFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Tue Sep 5 09:11:47 2006
I agree that Penicillin is the drug of choice, not ampicillin. But the critical issue is not how many doses an individual has received, it is the time from first dose to delivery not how many doses an individual receives. Per CDC recommendations, that has not been defined for drugs other than PCN, but we should assume that it is similar for all antibiotics. Ronald E.

Why are you using Amp instead of Pen K? It takes 6 hours to get in the two doses of Amp. It seems that we often just have enough time to get in the two 4 hour doses of Pen K. ********************************************* Kay Johnson, CNM Duluth, GA -- "Life is too important to be taken seriously" Oscar Wilde ***********************************

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.
