Re: U/S and cervical incompetance

What about to consider cerclage as the reasonable prophylaxy of prematurity? Sure, some circumstances has to be presented, so it's not such big problem to come to agreement when it's indicated. And even if it's useless in some cases, the term deliveries which would be otherwise premature are the best authorisation for such procedure. We have a policy not to risk any pregnancy. It's better to do some apparently unnecessary cerclages /and it's questionable if they are really unnecessary/, than to lose one baby. I agree, that any patient is individual, but not absolutely different. So it's obviously necessary to decide individualy, but some standardisation is not only "conditio sine qua non" but also possible. The protocol regarding cervical incompetency is possible to build-up either for hospitals where money have strong controlling power, or for hospitals, where some independancy in health care is stabled. Sincerely

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.
