In reply to: art fougner, md: "Re: APGARS" Next in thread: rchudacoff@mylinuxisp.com: "Re: APGARS" I think 10 minutes is quite a bit longer than usual. If I'm having a question about postop residual on a patient in the office, I swab the urethra a couple of times with betadine and pass a Mentor catheter. Pretty simple, time effecient and not very costly. Why on earth would you use a pack, drapes, etc.? Certainly if a foley is being placed, that might be necessary, but most of these patients should be taught self-catheterization and sent on their way. >Have you ever actually timed the act of catheterisation - opening >pack,skin prep, draping, passing catheter, waiting while it empties, >removing catheter and drapes.

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.
