I have also used all of them over the years. Again, IMHO, the forceps work best, i.e. fewer failures. All the studies comparing the two show no diference in failure rates(15% for forceps & 15% for Vacuum). I have done over 1000 forceps deliveries in 42 years of practice and have only had 3 cases of failed foprceps( a lot less than 15%).. But as Art says, "I could be wrong" Dan On 3/3/06, GA12L@aol.com <GA12L@aol.com> wrote: > > In a message dated 03/03/2006 13:10:48 GMT Standard Time, > RModugno@aol.com writes: > > Has an effective 'grip' and is less likely to 'pop off' in my experience.. > > Thanks, Robert.

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.
