Re: Nuchal CordFrom: DuBose, Terry (DuboseTerryJ@uams.edu)Thu Feb 19 17:42:58 2004
As I understood the original question, it was not the sonographer telling the patient about the cord, but the physician did not want to know if the cord was just draped over the fetal shoulder, with a film showing this, because the physician then felt obligated to comment in the report about in case there was a poor outcome. So should the sonographer take a picture of a nuchal cord that does not encircle the neck two or more times? Or ignore it... that is the question, as I understand it. Sonographers are expected to take diagnostic images, but not considered a diagnostician, even though their credential is "Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer". They are between a rock and a hard place with many physicians. Peace, Terry J. DuBose, M.S. RDMS Little Rock, Arkansas ------------------------------------ I absolutely agree......why is a sonographer telling the patient ------------------------------------ about the cord? Perhaps a policy should be put in place that the -- ------------------------------------ sonographer tells the doc about the cord, then leaves it up to the doc to tell the pt.

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.
