Sure. I didn't follow this thread, but anyhow, this conclusion is true. And regarding terms "management" and "prevention" of shoulder dystocia: management of shoulder dystocia - IMHO - is independent on any previous examinations /including ultrasound/ prevention is either CS or carefully assisted labour Well, I think, ultrasound COULD bring some help in prediction

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.
