Woolley: "Re: A case" I was always taught that a reasonable dose of oxytocin was that dose which produced adequate uterine contractions. Using that definition, you don't use a reasonable dose. You apparently have adopted the recent thought that there is some magic amount of oxytocin to which all uteri will respond. Not so. Some take a lot more than others. An overdose of oxytocin is that dose which produces a tetanic contraction. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ R.

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.
