I would. I use hydrocortisone 100 mg pre-op and continue 100 mg every 8 hours for another couple doses, starting the oral prednisone back on post-op #1. Lynn

Quick question: when performing a transvaginal hysterectomy and the patient who takes Prednisone 5 mg every day for Crohn's disease. Does she needs stress dose steroids, and if so how much, and when?

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.
