How can you deliver faster then in this case? Thus, how can gases hurt you?

I think one needs a protocol for these things and adhere to it or one runs the risk of being accused by opposing counsel of hiding something.

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.
