WQhen an arrest occurs and you have reason to believe that it is REAL - not syncope - then is you are over 28wks then deliver during code to maximize prob of successful resuscitation. Mom on back is not good for caval compression - turn to side to getoff great vessels is even worse. Deliver. SOONER rahter than later! ben there too many times. Early delivery does not guarantee either good baby or mother or both. SHIT happens!

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.
