1. 12 days, indomethacin 100mg/days (supp.)

2. 1*/week, but from 20-24 w., we prefer fetal echocardiograms, because ductal constriction developped in more than 50 % of the fetuses. Have a look: Am J Obstet Gynecol, 177(2):256-9 1997 Aug

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.
