Re: 36+ weeksBHC vs early laborFrom: David Rivera (cuurmudgeon@sbcglobal.net)Sun Jun 12 10:10:15 2005
I see no reason to tocolyse anyone after 34 weeks, but, since I'm an intinerant, I inherit these problems. The Vasodilan was so he wouldn't get annoying phone calls. Had nothing to do with tocolysis. And the number of women I've seen go postdates after tocolysis told me they werent in PTL or even TPTL and didn't need it in the first place.

I do recall working with some years ago who used either vasodilan or brethine (p.o.) as you describe (from 26-28 weeks till 37 weeks), but I also remember studies indicating that the effectiveness of delaying labor was no longer than 1-2 weeks after started for patients really at risk for PTD. I also remember a lot of complaints from patients about side effects and it was not unusual to stop the med and then have the patient go beyond 40 weeks and be induced. Lenora McCall, CNM

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.
