When they actually get fully dilated its a little reassuring to me, I have no problem trying a manual rotation with a rim or anterior lip, which I tried here but never got it past 45 degress either direction and kept going back to O.P.. If my patient would have gotten to fully I may even have tried a scanzonni in the section room.

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.
