I had this conversation with Carol Baker from Baylor, the "Group B. Strep" maven. She felt that since the usual hospital setting may take up to 1-2 hours to start antibiotics after order is submitted, she recommends ordering them 12-14 hours after rupture of membranes. I was also under the impression that when a patient has been ruptured for 18 hours (18 hours after a cervical exam with rupture) antibiotics should be started to decrease the risk of chorioamnionitis.

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.
