Re: neonatal circumcision From: Richard Lowensohn (lowensoh@ohsu.edu) Fri Oct 31 16:21:08 1997 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Ronald Helm: "Re: Inflammatory Pap" Previous message: Laurie Lovely: "Re: Infertility Patient**Attention Repro Endos**" Maybe in reply to: Nancy Green CNM, FNP: "neonatal circumcision" OB does most circs. Mogen clamp, dorsal nerve block. I do occasional religious circumcisions in homes. At hospital, use circumstraint board. At home, use a real person and a pillow. Richard Lowensohn Oregon Health Sciences University >>> Nancy Green CNM, FNP <midwif@bellsouth.net> 10/28/97 02:19pm >>> I am interested in conducting an informal poll of CNM and MD colleagues (OB and FP) on neonatal circumcision. Which specialty does the procedure in your facility (OB, CNM,Peds, FP)? What method is the most frequently used? Do you use any form of anesthesia such as the dorsal penile block or EMLA ? Do any of you perform circumcision in the office or at the patient's home? What method of restraint is used to protect the infant during the procedure? I realize that circumcision is not a politicaly correct topic and that many parents choose not to have it done. Please don't flame me. -- Nancy Green CNM, FNP, MSN Next message: Ronald Helm: "Re: Inflammatory Pap" Previous message: Laurie Lovely: "Re: Infertility Patient**Attention Repro Endos**" Maybe in reply to: Nancy Green CNM, FNP: "neonatal circumcision"

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.
