Re: ?Erb's PalsyFrom: Joanne Bulley, MD (jbulley@cheshire.net)Wed Jan 12 20:22:43 2000
My experience with this is to involve the orthopod - preferably one with pediatric orthopedic training - ASAP. Pretty much you make sure the baby's doc gets th consult - and if he or she doesn't see the point, then as the delivering MD who wants the best for your patient and her child - you get the consult! My recollection is that the Ortho docs did some wort of sling for initial immobilzation to prevent further damage, then the nerve conduction studies then PT. As far as I know, the 2 Erb's I had both recovered completely (whew!) - but an older partner of mine had one that never recovered full use of the right arm. The Mom came to this doc for all of her further care andhas now transferred to me since he reitired. At any rate, he graduated High School at the top of his class and went to MIT (Mass Inst of Tech) and has made quite a name for himself as I understand it. So his brain was all right! (Happy Endings are nice in OB cases like this)

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.
