A pitocin induction of a breech patient? -- << Bernard Cristalli MD CNGOF responded: << Sure! I do it every day Whow. Let me calculate. Breeches constitute about 3 % of deliveries that's about 1 in 33. Bernard says he induces one each day. So, he does about 33 deliveries a day, or about 1000 a month or 12,000 per year.

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.
