Re: IUPC and VBACFrom: ATFSOCCER@aol.comFri Oct 3 20:21:22 1997
In a message dated 97-10-03 15:42:02 EDT, you write: << What do you use external captors for usually? Don't tell me "for nothing". Or don't use them. The rythm of the contractions is enough, the absolute value of the contraction is not so important. It never showed a rupture before an alteration of the FHR. -- Bernard Cristalli MD CNGOF AIHP - ACCA >> Bernard Quality of contractions is extremely important. Not necessarily in VBAC ruptures but certainly in making a diagnosis of non progression of labor. If you are not using IUPCs then how do you know if the patient is having adequate strength of contractions. I dont believe the external tocos are reliable in terms of providing quantitative evaluation of contraction strength. Andy Folley MD 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.
