Re: Tocolysis.From: Arthurfree@aol.comWed Oct 25 13:42:41 1995
MNudel has a point. The "anecdotal" we stopped labor and the patient went to term (or post term with some frequency 8-)) is probably the patient with "nuisance contractions" more often than not. This was really the genesis of my original question about magnesium (if we are to use an intervention, it would be my hope that it is safer than the disorder I am treating, not just more cost effective). The reason I asked the question about magnesium is a patient in my practice who has twice had pre-term contractions treated very aggressively, has twice had 3.5kg infants at 40 weeks, and "knows she will have premature labor again". If low doses of magnesium gluconate orally will prevent that spiral from ever beginning (prophylactic use?), I will cheerfully do it. Arthur

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.
