That's right....AFI can be measured by adding the depth of each of the quadrants (do not include the cord!) in either transverse or longitudinal as long as the transducer is held upright /perpendicular to mom's back. Suzy

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.
