Re: Forceps - was -Twins case part I From: Eberhard Lisse (el@ac.lisse.na) Sun Apr 28 23:27:23 2002 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Dr. John Provatopoulos B.Sc.

The only advantage I can see in forceps, is that you can clank them :-)-O With regards to the sad state, if you induce almost 100%, give them all an epidural and turn the Oxytocin on, you of course have lots of complications, requiring intervention. If you don't I'd think much more fall out spontaneously. el In message <200204290413.g3T4DBO17176@mail.medispecialty.com>, Joanne Bulley, M D writes: > When I did Ob - I would much rather do an outlet forceps than apply > the suction. > But - yes it is a sad stat of affairs in the US - either the kid > falls out - or an OB doc is called for a C/S.

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.
