Daniel: "Re: Cytotec and postpartum hemorrhage" You would have to be careful with asthmatics and preeclamptics because cytotec can cause bronchospasm and thrombocytopenia. -----Original Message----- From: ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net [mailto:ob-gyn-l@obgyn.net]On Behalf Of Glen Elrod MD Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2003 9:40 AM To: Multiple recipients of list OB-GYN-L Subject: Cytotec and postpartum hemorrhage Does anyone have any experience with Cytotec and postpartum hemorrhage in women that have just undergone a c-section. I know that Cytotec is contraindicated in women with a previous c-section for labor induction. I have used cytotec rectally for women with vaginal deliveries that have postpartum hemorrhage. The reason this came up is we have a postpartum c/s that is diabetic, asthmatic, preeclamptic with a postpartum hemorrhage. Methergine is out. Hemabate is out. Pitocin was running. Pt is now several hours out from surgery. Any other suggestion? Thanks, Glen -- D.

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.
