I work Labor and Delivery for a federal hospital and we screen everyone, between 28 and 34 weeks of gestation, risk factors or not. If they are found to be positive we administer antibiotics while they are in labor. We hope that they will get two doses, at the very least. When the infants are born they are then also screened, with a CBC, and a blood culture obtained. We also do 3 blood glucose tests, and the infants stay 48 hours for observation, if they are put on antibiotics they stay 7 to 10 days...GBS is scary, and I think all facilities should screen for it.

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.
