If you proceed immediately with Cesarean, any attempt to monitor the FHR delays delivery. Write your policy accordingly. Charles -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net] On Behalf Of John Robertson Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 10:11 PM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Auscultation of the FH between spinal and incision in elective C/S There is an effort by non-physicians in our hospital to introduce a nursing practice guidline requiring the auscultation of the fetal heart after administration of the spinal anaesthetic and prior to the skin incision in all elective cesarean sections. I have questioned the logic of this for several reasons, but rather than biasing the thread further, I would be interested in what others think. I would be especially interested in any science for or against this. John. -- J.G.M.Robertson MD, 109-9181 Main St. Chilliwack, B.C.

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.
