Andrew, give me a break. Malpresentation IS an indication for a section, even if the second twin. Dan, I am happy to be included among those with missing and gray hair. Those characteristics taint both favorably and unfavorably that which we all do. I have been trained in, and am comfortable with, vaginal breech deliveries and forceps, including low forceps with rotations (Dr. Kielland is among my favorite Ob innovators). The circumstances under which I offer or perform those procedures have, by necessity, changed over the almost 21 years of practice. Her platelets went from 153K preop to 98K the next morning when her AM CBC was done. So. . .in a mild pre-eclamptic with normal admission labs (SGOT 24 [normal to 30]), Hct. 35, platelets 154K--do you check them again postop?

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.
