"a study" showing that a slowly increasing regime was associated with less fetal distress and similar vaginal delivery rates. > My clinical impression also favours the old regime.

I use a slowly rising regime. Rise of 1cc per hour each five minutes (5
UI in 50cc) till a 3 to 5 contractions per 10 minutes. Seems to be as
efficient as tougher regimes with similar fetal distress & VD rates.

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.
