Previous message: vnellsch: "Re: STAT Breech!" In reply to: vnellsch: "Re: STAT Breech!" As I hate to agree with this Shabanay from texas who can't spell his name right, and I totally disagree with allowing nurses dictate medical practice, I think the correct answer to the page is: "Get the OR ready, I'm coming". On arrival I would have examined the patient and said something like "I think you are so far already I doubt we'll make it to the OR. Can you take a deep breath for me and give me a good push or two, please?" "Congratulations, it's a boy/girl". Fortunately this particular situation can't happen here, I do not see unknown patients and in particular no unknown walk ins at full dilation. I do an elective vaginal bypass on all breeches. But, if a patient of mine walks in and turns out to be a breech, and (by the time of my arrival) to be too late for C/S, we'd just catch the baby. Our midwives have seen breeches :-)-O el On 27 Jan 2009, at 02:29 , vnellsch wrote: > probably the only way to answer the page and not get everyone > wrought up would be to say " i will be there shortly, have the o.r. > crew and anesthetist stand by for a possible stat cesarean." > because i will tell you this, that nursing supervisor and the folks > who had already decided what you needed to do, will never forgive > you for being right. they will get you, for something, sometime, > maybe after you have already forgotten this little fracas. verner > nellsch, md. private practice near houston, texas Next message: Joanne Bulley, MD: "Re: STAT Breech!"

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.
