Re: Forceps left in a woman after sectionFrom: ainsron (ainsron@sbcglobal.net)Wed Mar 8 07:51:38 2006
Another term for forceps is pickups, used for holding tissue while suturing. Much easier to leave behind than obstetrical forceps. Nevertheless, if it had happened in the USA or most other countries, you would be looking at a multi-million dollar settlement. In Pakistan, they probably will just cut off the hands of the scrub tech and surgeon. Ronald E.

Forceps aren't something I'd ever considered would go 'missing' after a section, swabs I can understand if there is no count but a pair of metal forceps? Claire Bsc Midwifery student

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.
