Risk factor for fever in labor. Obstetrics and Gynecology 86(5):790-794, 1995 The results of this retrospective, case-control study of 3109 of 3860 consecutive parturients indicated : >>fever was associated with epidural analgesia, nulliparity, and a long duration of labor. These three variables were also related among themselves. However, multiple regression analysis showed that all three variables were independently associated with maternal temperature. In the matched -pair study, epidural analgesia, rupture of the membranes longer than 24 hours, latency phase exceeding 8 hours, and a temperature in the upper normal range (37.5-37.9C) at admission were independet risk factors for developing fever in labor. << Elisabeth Hyde CNM Branford, CT Next message: Earle M.

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.
