PTE prophylaxis From: Adolfo Etchegaray (aetchegaray@arnet.com.ar) Wed Feb 10 09:10:08 1999 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Les Wasserman: "Re: children in delivery room" Previous message: Geffrey Klein: "Re: children in delivery room" Hi everybody. A little doubt: do you currently use dicoumarinics in low doses for post surgery pulmonary tromboembolism prophylaxis in addition to heparin 5,000 U/12 hs 2-12 hours before intervention (according to the pt risk factors) or do you just use heparin alone? Many thanks. -- Adolfo Etchegaray aetchegaray@arnet.com.ar Buenos Aires.

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.
