Re: No Posts!From: Douglas Krell (dkrell@msn.com)Wed Nov 28 15:12:02 2007
Dan, I had a case of twins where twin A was born vaginally unresuscitatable with fulminate GBBS pnuemonia, twin B separate sac breech extraction, was perfectly fine. The mother had been GBBS +. The organism went right through the membranes and killed baby A and a few hours of PCN didn't help. Since then I have screened everyone... I'm just catching a little crap for it. I'll probaBLY CONTINUE to screen if other people do as well.

The baby died of GBBS sepsis within 20 hours of delivery. Patient had been in Hospital for less than 2 hours prior to section. Defence was victorius, case never went to court.

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.
