Re: Cervical Length questionsFrom: Elrod Darryl G MAJ 48 MDOS/SGOBO (Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL)Mon Jun 13 05:40:34 2005
I thought steroids were given when someone was "at risk" of delivering in the next 7 days. With a cervical length of less than 2.5cm, doesn't that qualify for being at risk? Unfortunately, we can't do fFN here so I'd be stuck if I were waiting for that.

If the cervix is less than 25 mm they are pretty much admitted given MGSO4 and steroids if less than 34 weeks and kept on bedrest in hospital until 34 weeks. I have argued for using FFn as an adjunct and not to give steroids Mg or bedrest unless FFn positive. Any thoughts???andrew

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.
