Re: FeticideFrom: Ealgail@aol.comFri Jan 31 16:45:40 1997
Don't we call late second trimester and third trimester "terminations", delivery?? Does anyone really do this "surgically"?? If an obstetrician must deliver a late second trimester (assuming this means 24 weeks and up) or third trimester fetus due to anencephaly or trisomy 18, renal agenesis, etc, then why would anyone do anything but just ripen the cervix and induce labor via prostaglandin E2 or some form of it?? In 17 years, the only failure I have seen with prostaglandin was when one of our private physicians once used it on a patient with an undiagnosed abdominal pregnancy. Most of these infants are immature as well as damaged and deliver stillborn, or die within a few hours of birth. Linda Morrison-Boczar, M.D., MBA, FACOG

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.
