Hi,I work in a Unit that routinely does amnioinfusion on cases of meconium stained amniotic fluid.I guess there's enough evidence in the literature for this.I'm currently looking for evidence if the 'advantages' hold in cases where there is already evidence of fetal anoxia(eg.late decelerations on CTG).A school of thought, is of the opinion that amnioinfusion at this stage is unhelpful and to some, even contraindicated. Then there is the other school that claim that those cases that have amnioinfusion do heaps better(perinatal morbidity / mortality) than those that do not get it! I'd appreciate any experiences and/or reference areas that could help me here. Thanks.

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.
