I am not aware of any literature. One of our MFM's does it however and he swears by it. He is not aware of any literature either.

In an effort to lower the cesarean section rate in our hospital, the department director recommended more use of cervidil. He stated that if one dose doesn't work (improve your bishop score) try a second or a third. Is anyone aware of any literature that demonstrates that multiple doses work better than one dose? I've serached,but haven't found anything.

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.
