Even if you do a stat section within 5 minutes of signs of a ruptured uterus you are not gaurantied a good outcome. Durring the consent process you are obligated to inform the mom that even with the best precautions you are exposing the baby to greater risk than a planed c-section, not to mention a failed VBAC may carry more morbidity for the Mom than an elective planed repeat c-section. I still do VBAC's and make sure the above has been documented in the chart, though it may not matter much in case of a bad outcome. -- Take care, John Next message: Dr. John Provatopoulos B.Sc.

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.
