Re: Fundal Pressure From: Dr Eberhard Lisse (el@lisse.NA) Tue Feb 28 21:33:29 2006 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Previous message: Raymond Stephen: "Re: Echinococcal cyst in pregnancy" In reply to: Dr. Ainsworth: "Fundal Pressure" I think the only indication for the "Farmers' Forecps" is if the head is on the perineum, you can't wait for the vacuum to be deployed and one push brings the head out. In the US I would not do it, at all. el on 2/28/06 6:15 PM Dr. Ainsworth said the following: > I have always been taught that fundal pressure was contraindicated > because of the risk of uterine rupture and shoulder impaction at the > time of shoulder dystocia, i.e., I do not use it.

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.
