Re: Placenta percretaFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Wed Jun 16 18:08:08 2004
That may be the case, but it is apples and oranges if you are talking about lack of informed consent for a relatively "elective" cesarean section, such as: "I think you have a large baby and it may get stuck coming out," and the baby turns out to be a pound smaller than her last baby; vs. the patient with the cord prolapse or abruption who needs a C/S immediately and the only information she needs is that her baby may die if she doesn't get to the OR right now. The relative risks of future pregnancy takes a back seat to the immediate problem in most circumstances. It is not a "huge issue," as you state. Ronald E.

I was thinking this exact same thing myself. Most women I know who had c/s were never given informed consent about risks that c/s present for future babies and pregnancies. This is a huge issue, especially for women who plan to have more than one or two children. Chris A, NP sneaking out of lurkdom for a moment...

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.
