Re: OB: Planned Home Birth After Previous CesareanFrom: Charles Bloom (cdsb@bellsouth.net)Sun May 4 07:19:42 2008
The question in the title of the OBG Management editorial. Should women attempt home birth after C-section? .if posed to obstetricians, is absurd. The standard of practice in most, if not all, hospitals that are still doing VBACs is that the obstetricians have to be in-house during active labor for an emergency Cesarean if necessary. Therefore, the second question of the editorial. Is this a valid birth plan? .if posed to obstetricians, is also absurd and the answer is obviously no. Any obstetrician that willingly participates in this birth plan is an idiot. There is no need to read further and certainly no need to debate this. Barbieri must be running out of material. Unfortunately, there are many people out there doing many dangerous things and when there is a problem with their risky behavior and they show up at the hospital on our watch, we have the ethical, moral and EMTALA responsibility to do what we can for them.

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.
