I have certainly seen the dramatic disappearance of late decelerations after amnioinfusion in some cases. In other cases there has been no change. I can't see what contraindications there might be? stray "Dr.Jimi Taria" wrote: > Hi,I work in a Unit that routinely does amnioinfusion on cases of > meconium stained amniotic fluid.

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.
