In light of the recent news linking maternal deaths to use of vaginal administation of misoprostol, what do you think of continuing its use for missed AB? Do you think oral administation would reduce the risk? Why? From what I understand, 6 maternal deaths have now been attributed to vaginal use of misoprostol (my sources are NPR driving home from work last night, and this morning's Arizona Republic newspaper) Thanks, Ingrid Gold, CNM, Phoenix

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.
