OB: Safe Delivery Interval For Emergency C/S - 75 mins!From: art fougner, md (evsono@pipeline.com)Fri Mar 19 07:45:19 2004
Safe interval for emergency caesarean section is 75 minutes When the decision to deliver by caesarean section is made, time to intervention should be less than 75 minutes to avoid poor maternal and baby outcomes. Thomas and colleagues (p 665) analysed 17 780 singleton births by caesarean section in Wales and England in 2000. They found that, compared with deliveries completed within 15 minutes of the decision for an emergency caesarean section, mothers' and babies' outcomes did not differ from deliveries within 75 minutes. Babies delivered after 75 minutes were more likely to have an Apgar score of less than 7, and their mothers were more likely to require special care. Never the less, the target of 30 minutes should remain as the benchmark for service provision, the authors say. BMJ 2004;328 (20 March), doi:10.1136/bmj.328.7441.0 art

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.
