delivery of the impacted head From: James E. Sumners (james@cpdx.com) Thu Nov 28 04:41:18 1996 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: James E. Sumners: "cervical cerclage" Previous message: A.P. VAN DER COLF: "cervical cerclage: reply" the methods to elevate the head everyone has mentioned are certainly appropriate. my major problem has been from lifting the head through the incision and tearing the lower segment. My bias is that this tearing occurs from the hand in the incision, rather than the head itself. Although i have used forceps for delivery of the head in the past, vacuum applied after the head is elevated, along with some patience, seems to allow even less lower segment damage. -- James E.

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.
