I agree that if we see a nuchal cord that it is our duty to document it,
so it is reported to the managing physician and the patient can be
apprised. And certainly if there is accompanying decreased movement or
bradycardic episodes. But do you routinely look for a nuchal cord? That
is not part of standard protocol, and is what this particular
sonographer is doing.

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.
