Anna, I was not being facetious. However, you just gave a good reason to break the BOW.(To adequately monitor the fetus) You didn't tell us that before. (or I missed it) John, Breaking the bag because you think there might be meconium is one of those indications that people accept, but there is not much evidence for it. What difference does it make in your management ??? Perhaps in smaller hospitals without Peds present down the hall, it might make you call in the peds if you knew it was present.(that would justify it). In our hospital where we have peds residents and neonatal fellows 20 yards away, it really doesn't. Dan On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 12:04 PM, Dr. John Provatopoulos B.Sc. M.D.C.M.

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.
