I would be interested to hear of an example of a case where the monitoring led to your doing something different from what had been planned.

When I was still practicing, I insisted on continuing to monitor the FHR during and after spinal placement. These are the times that it may be most beneficial to monitor.

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.

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.
