In my experience I do not know of any case of prophylaxis failure although we do see only 2-4 cases of isoimmunization for Rhesus factor a year, but parity in our region is rather low. We give Rh antibodies after every miscarriage, delivery or invasive procedure and we regularly perform a ind. Coombs Test after 24 h and if it is negative we repeat the prophylaxis with an othe shot.

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.
