Ron:

I disagree, assuming I understand you.

If ROM prior to unplanned repeat section, would initiate antibiotics on arrival if GBS positive while awaiting C/S. Why wouldn't you?

What do others think?

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.
