You could make the argument this baby has just died as in the past 5 minutes and possibllity of resussitation exists. One could also make the argument that the fetal herart tones being "absent" may be incorrect. ie it is inaccurate and you are simply recording the fetal heart rate in distress of the baby at 90 the same as moms very anxious heart rate andy

If your indication for the section is fetal distress, certainly. You no longer have that indication. Or do you section people for a dead baby?

So if you find there are no fetal heart sounds as the last person arrives, what do you do then? Stand down the team and allow to deliver vaginally?

Question relating to the case presented. How long from last listening for FHT's and incision? It is easy to stand around in the OR waiting for that last member of the team to arrive and then just make the incision when they get there. One should always know whether or not there is a heart beat before making the incision. IMHO.

With a one and 5 minute apgar of "0", I find it hard to believe that there were ht. tones present in the last 3-5 minutes befor the incision.

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.
