Re: Criminal Teaching on immediate cord clamping on an infant's pulsating lifeline, the umbilical cordFrom: K Dew (kdew@bellsouth.net)Fri Mar 30 18:01:13 2001
I find the original poster's position and poor spelling quite amusing. However, I am an advocate of clamping the cord once there is no pulsation palpated so long as the infant is doing well and not in need of immediate attention. After vaginal delivery, I place the newborn on the mom's abdomen, dry the baby and usually by this time (approximately 45 seconds to one minute) the pulsation has stopped and the significant other who wishes to clamp the cord has calmed down enough to do the job. Of course, all of this changes should the baby need attention not readily provided on the mom's abdomen and does not apply to caesarians at all. Kevin Dew, MD OB/GYN Bardstown, KY

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.
