Suspect this represents some type of dysrhythmia but can you really out hypoxia in this situation. I would think that at 37 + weeks the prudent thing to do would be for AROM and pitocin induction and would not argue with anyone who opted for c-section here. > Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:07:19 -0600 > From: john.robertson@medispecialty.com > To: ob-gyn-l@mail.obgyn.net > Subject: Persistant Fetal Tachycardia at term > > Had an interesting case last week, wondering what others would do: > > 32 yo G3P2 presented to the GP's office @ 37&1/7 with fetal tachycardia. > Sent in to Hospital for NST & US & OB consult.

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.
