What do you mean "we have to stop our docs if it comes off twice?" Would they keep going indefinitely? Recording application time, number of pulls, indications for vacuum and consent of patient is always appropriate and advisable.

Thanks, Robert. How many times do you replace the cup if it does pop off. We have to stop our docs if it comes off twice. We also have to write on the CTG tracing when the cup was applied, when the first pull was, second pull if applicable, delivery of the head and subsequent birth of the baby...My only experience of doing a ventouse was on the ALSO course on a dolly, hadly the same thing!

Is this any different to what happens where you are? The ventouse, that is not the dolly!

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.
