No ruptures had been reported last I looked and infections, as you say, do not seem to be an issue. But there are case reports of maternal deaths, probably caused by amniotic embolism. The mechanism would be forced entry of amniotic debris into uterine veins by the raised pressure, possibly in combination with an unfortunate position of the catheter. -- Mats Bergstrom, MD Ob Gyn South Hospital Stockholm Next message: Vandeveer, Melissa: "<None>" Previous message: Ronald Helm: "Re: twins"

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.
