I've even looked in the anesthesia literature and found that there own literature doesn't support having an 'up to date' CBC prior to spinal/epidural in low risk women. I honestly can see getting it in someone with suspected preeclampsia, but other than that I'm not sure why one would be necessary. I'm just glad I've been able to finally get the nurses to stop knee jerk ordering CBC on PPD#1 because it is routine.

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.
