Oh, crap.

Friday--one low forceps due to poor pushing/epidural/exhaustion (OA, +3) and another with rotation after 3 hours of pushing--low with rotation of 90 degrees, ROT to OA, +3, Kiellands.

The first might have worked with a vacuum, the second not, I believe.

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.
