I have an ITP patient at 37 weeks now. Her platlets have been stable on Prednisone 10 QOD. Her glucose is another matter and I just had to start her on insulin. I digress, .....anyway, she has the option of getting PUBS and delivering at the community hospital via induction if fetal platlets are normal, or no PUBS and delivering downtown at the tertiary care center. She'd rather deliver here, but does not want PUBS so she will go to the Mecca.

I think that the route of delivery is not an issue, but rather what the fetal platlets are, in determining the potential of IVH.

But, I'll defer to Ken Moise whom I use as a consultant, if he cares to chime in, or anyone else with a greater knowledge base.

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.
