A New (Old) Maneuver for the Management of Shoulder Dystocia. Journal of Family Practice, 1991, 32:625-629. Bruner JP, Drummond JSB, Meenan AL, Gaskin IM. All-Fours Maneuver for Reducing Shoulder Dystocia During Labor. Journal of Reproductive Medicine 1998, 43:439-443 Correct me if I'm wrong, Ina May, but I recall reading somewhere that you had stated that you preferred the term "All-4's maneuver" as it is more descriptive in an emergency for someone who is not familiar with the maneuver. The rest of us just think it's cool that a life-saving obstetrical maneuver has been named after a licensed professional midwife.

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.
