Yesterday somebody mentioned using blanket and surgical fluid warming ovens to warm the fluids prior to amnioinfusion. I will refer you to the article by Burows et al. from South Carolina. J.Reprod. Med. 1995; 40: 123-6. They found that the temperature of the fluids when removed from the ovens varied from 21 to 50 degrees C and that this variation was due to a wide fluctuation in the warming oven. In other words the temperature in the oven fluctuated all over the place. If you are going to warm fluids, I still recommend testing how long it takes your microwave to get a bag of fluid to body temp. and then use that to do it. Cheap and reproducible.

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.
