Re: Amniocentesis in Twins!!From: ATB28 (ATB28@aol.com)Thu Apr 23 23:09:20 1998
In a message dated 04/23/1998 7:16:55 PM Pacific Daylight Time, CharlesD@ZiaNet.com writes: << Is it safe to instill dye in the amniotic sac to differentiate between sacs during the procedure?>> Yes it is, with much literature to support its use, <<What is the best choice of dye?>> Indigo carmine is the dye of choice in most experienced centers <<Is there any evidence to suggest that the dye may cause fetal problems or loss?>> Not with indigo carmine <Is selective reduction safe in the event that one fetus is affected with a chromosomal anomaly?>> As with amniocentesis (singleton, twins, or triplets), safety is relative to the experience and expertise of the surgeon....probably much like cardiac surgery!

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.
