Hey Listers,

I have had several "lay" midwives inquire about strep prophylaxis. Apparently they are using a protocol of Rocephin via intramuscular injection near the onset of labor. Is anybody aware of any validated protocols using this method - I am not. I know there are some programs doing a bicillin injection protocol, but I don't think they are concluded as yet.

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.
