Re: Breech deliveryFrom: J J Walker (msjjjw@gps.leeds.ac.uk)Fri Dec 22 13:45:31 1995
>>The risk for the baby in a vaginal delivery is much higher, and in a primip it is for me unacceptable, it is a simple as that. All available evidence suggests that prim breech delivery is SAFER than parous breech delivery so you should not carry out an elective delivery for all prim breeches you can allow allow them to labour. In fact no study has shown that breeches are better being sectioned. We had an (anecdotal) case of a mother elective section for breech, arrested on the table, baby born damaged, mother survived after time in ICU. Is this a good outcome?

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.
