I have treated PIH with B.P. of 170/110 with 1.2 grams of labetolol from 25 to 35 wks. Listen to Myer she can go sour in less than 4 hours, doing a c-section for a stillborn infant at 2:00 am in a mom with a platlet count of 18,000 is not a pleasant experience.

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.
