I had a similar case refered from the midwives post term multip but was at 3cm did an AROM and applied a scalp electrode good tracing until started pushing in the second stage and turned into abnormal or category III 20 minutes into second stage direct op did a forecps rotation cord artery PH 7.15. Baby and Mom did fine, they wanted to know why I assumed care, answer BPP was 2/8 and presentation was OP, what happens if baby goes south and doesn't turn, nothing wrong with hoping for the best but being prepared for the worst.

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.
