Re: U/S and cervical incompetanceFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comTue Dec 19 07:21:02 1995
<<He came up with what seem to be critical measurements for width of the funnel, length of the funnel, and remaining functional cervical length.>> I think the cervical length may be the important point (see the abstract-->paper by Iams in LAST YEAR'S SPO). If you have a shortening cervix (by that I mean a cervix which is clinically getting shorter as you watch it), you basically have effacement. Even NOW, according to ACOG criteria sets, you can do a cerclage with evidence of "cervical change", defined as EITHER dilation or effacement (in the absence of labor). If there is funnelling, you may be talking about how CLOSE your impending problem is -- how soft the cervix is and easy to open, etc. I look forward to the SPO abstract... ************************************************* doctorjoe@aol.com "All things are connected.

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.
