Greetings Listers. I am involved in a case I would be interested in your input on. 29 y/o, G5P4, history of drug abuse in past; she does not have possession of any of her previous children; only one prenatal care visit prior to this admission; now at 18w3d, known twin gestation, dichorionic, diamnionic. She has spontaneous rupture of membranes of the leading twin. Sonogram shows 2 fetuses, one with severe oligohydramnios; the other with normal AFI. Fetal growth measurements are concordant. Both are still alive. No evidence of infection (yet); no evidence of being in labor (yet). Cervix is closed on "sterile" speculum exam. I practice in a community of 20K people, 50 bed, nursery level 1 hospital; referral hospital is 220 miles away. What would you do now?

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.
