MS >MCH Epidemiology Wendy: I recently read something, somewhere, about a protocol using vibroacoustic stimulation (VAS) to help with ECV. The VAS device is a simple "buzzer" that you place near the kid's head on the mom's abdominal wall, which causes the baby to move vigorously. We use it when the fetal heart rate tracing is "non-reactive" and we want to make sure the baby is doing o.k. A little buzz usually wakes up the baby and the heart rate does what it is supposed to. I tried it the other day on a large breech I was trying to turn. Didn't work, and she got a vaginal bypass (or, as they said during my residency, she got "whacked"). I'll try to find the reference in my "file cabinet" ( the floor by my desk)! Ashley Hill D.

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.
