While I was at UT in Houston, Creasy had us do them routinely. We collected enough numbers for some good research. I had two babies with a pH 6.9 and 7-9 apgars to add to the range. :-o

The department made a deal with the lab to lower the cost.

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.
