Hello,

Has anyone tried FetalGrowth app (App Store for iPhone/iPad) ? I'm interested in using a simple and handy tool to calculate fetal percentiles, and I came across this app, which seems it does the job (plots growth charts, as well). I haven't seen anything else, besides this app, so I was wondering if there are people who have already tried it.

Thanks !

I helped another physician with removal of a retained placenta last night, we were unsuccessful in removing it vaginally, her cervix was too closed to allow manual removal and we could only get a few pieces out with ring forceps and a large curette, so we did a laparotomy/hysterotomy and were able to preserve the uterus. The placenta turned out not to be an accreta and it was easily removed via that route through a low vertical incision on the uterus. Any thoughts on the appropriate CPT code would be appreciated. The patient came in through the ER five days after home delivery by her husband. She was severely anemic, rcvd 7 units of blood and is still quite ill and in the ICU but improving.

Recently, I had the occasion to review a case of a term primigravida with PROM in a private hospital (no housestaff or in house obstetricians). She was seen by an obstetrician soon after arrival, evaluated, and pitocin induction begun.

She did not deliver for around 29 hours after admission, and the delivering obstetrician (a different physician) was physically present during the last 2 hours of labor prior to delivery.

Simply put, while the two involved obstetricians were in communication by phone with the nursing staff throughout labor (separately as their "shifts" did not overlap), no one actually came to the bedside and wrote a note) from admission until around 2 hours before delivery.

Medical staff bylaws call for a daily progress note; this bylaw was easily met.

In reviewing the case, it did not "feel good" that no one came to the bedside.

My questions:

1. Does anyone have or know of any guidelines to mandate such bedside attendance? Of course, we all hope that the involved physicians would not need said guidelines.
2. Does anyone have a suggestion of hospital/nursing protocols? Simply, in this case I would like to have had a charge nurse or bedside nurse simply say, "Hey, no one has been by for a while. What's up?"
