Re: OB-GYN-L digest 3641From: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Fri Feb 18 14:05:46 2005
I've also been practice for 20+ years, I was well-trained in vaginal breech deliveries and always felt the thrill of a successful vaginal breech delivery. I never had a head hang-up or Nuchal arm that I couldn't release. However, the only vaginal breech I would consider delivering at this point is one that comes in on the perineum or the second twin. Like Gary, I also was trained with forceps, Kielland rotations, etc. I admire his continuation of that tradition. However, if I can't deliver an OP by manual rotation or spontaneous delivery, at this point I go to the OR. I can imagine that if a candidate for ABOG oral boards had a vaginal breech or Kielland rotation on his list, he would be severely criticized and sent back for a refresher course for another try.

Most all have been in practice 20+ years. Maybe it is just that there are no breeches being done routinely in your area? That would be really hard on women trying to avoid C-sect with twins, one of them breech. I can't imagine women having no choice in this matter, at the same time I am not saying that all women are candidates for vaginal breech.

It would be interesting to track the docs trained at Parkland or any other institution that does breech births, VBACs or other high risk procedures and see how long they continue performing those procedures in a private practice in = a community hospital. I'm sure you would see a curve starting near 100% = and quickly approaching zero over time. Ronald E. Ainsworth

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.
