I would use them perioperatively "just because" to keep even "inconsequential" uterine contractions to a minimum, if only for the benefit of the coronary arteries of the caregivers involved.

The use beyond the first 24 hours or so is, of course, open to discussion . . . .

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.
