Not quite the story that I heard. She did have the old cerebral aneurysm and multiple other problems. She had some kind of ossification around her hip joints which the Orthopods operated on one side witha 1500 cc blood loss for which they gave her 2 units(one had HCG of >100,000). Then she was to have radiation postop within 7 days to prevent a recurrence of the ossification. Radiologist got an HCG which was 175 and refused to radiate a pregnant woman. Hence th GYN consult.

I'm not exactly sure of your question, but , the patient had a previous cerebral aneurysm which required transfusion of 2 units. Retrospectively, discovered that the donor had hcg around 100K. Recepient had a quant of around 150.

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.
