Re: Wedding RingFrom: DoctorJoe@aol.comMon Jun 10 10:43:07 1996
<<I hope to seek your views on not removing wedding ring intraoperatively. This situation arises when the ring becomes absolutely too tight to be removed. If such an incident happens to your patient, what would you do?>> If it's the patient - I think I would have it removed (cut off?). I would worry about post-operative edema. You would have to play it by ear, of course. But if the ring is ALREADY too tight, you could conceivably get vascular embarassment if the patient develops any significant swelling after the surgery. No literature citations that I'm aware of... ************************************************* 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.
