Daniel: "Re: 17 Minute Rule" Reply: ainsron@msn.com: "Re: 17 Minute Rule" .. Regarding the "17 minute rule", I have searched the entire federal and state legal database in WestLaw and I can find no mention of the "17 minute rule" in any appellate cases. The search was done about two months ago. If anybody has a more recent search and has found an appellate reference to the 17 minute rule, please let me know. -- Dean Huffman, M.D. Perinatl@bigfoot.com - - - - Re: VBAC, immediate availabilty and change in hospital policy From: ainsron@msn.com Sun, 11 Feb 2001 19:23:51 -0600 (CST) Several posts dating back to 1997 regarding this topic, here is the most concise one: The "17 minute rule" is mentioned in Bruce Flamm's excellent editorial "Once a Cesarean, Always a Controversy" in Aug 97 Green Journal (Obstet Gynecol 1997;90:312-5). He states, "A large study (19) on uterine rupture found that no infants had significant perinatal morbidity when delivered within 17 minutes of the onset of a prolonged deceleration." The reference on this large study is Leung et al, Am J Obstet Gynecol 1993;169:945-50. One further note is needed, apparently this study only had seven patients and the only one that had problems was outside of the 17 minute cut-off, ergo what some have called the 17 minute rule. I doubt you are truly brain dead, but if we aren't careful and speedy, apparently our patients might be. >Must have been brain dead at the time - but what is the 17 minutes about? > >Robert Modugno MD MBA FACOG >Marietta, GA -- Ronald E.

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.
