ACOG's CANCELLED Policy
#216
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists
409 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20024-2188
ACOG's Technical Bulletin
Number 216 - November 1995
(Replaces #127, April 1989)
Title: Umbilical Artery Blood Acid--Base Analysis
This criminal medical malpractice directive, totally an unreasonable and unncessary method for doing
cord gas analysis, was retired by ACOG in
January or February 2002.
No correction made known to the public. No letter of warning for all medical persons
exposed to a false teaching that likely reached
over 500,000 persons around the world who may NOT think standing on their feet and will be STILL using
this policy long after its quiet
retirement.
While some American Babies will be protected, the Canadian Children yet remain to be exploited, as SOGC
who referenced their policy
of May 2000, #89, have not done likewise to protect babies born in Canada to NOT be subjected to a clamp
at birth to stop their flow of
blood and oxygen, so they too, can have a Constitutional right to be a Blue Ribbon Baby, their parents
planned the conception to be just
that, by nature's best plans for all babies to be enriched by good health, at birth. This can
only happen with parents planning the birth,
proper nutrition exercise, freedom from toxic chemicals in land, air, and water, and knowledge to protect
the child during the Third Stage
of Labor for baby's best chance for optimal health and a happy and bright and prosperous future.
To Quote page 4:
"One reasonable protocol for umbilical cord blood pH and blood gas analysis is as follows (22):
-
Doubly clamp a segment of the umbilical cord immediately after birth in all deliveries.
-
Fair Comment by the author of this Web Site:
For those ethical or moral and competent medical persons: medics, ambulance attendants, doulas, direct-entry
midwives, register-nurse-midwives, family doctors, pediatricians, gynecologists, and obstetricians,
there is a disclaimer by ACOG.
Disclaimers means the individual accepts full responsibility for their own decision making powers. That
is to say ACOG is NOT holding a
gun to your head to follow this educational bulletin. I have personally read one doctors dissent
to this bulletin, and many ethical medical
persons know this acid base analysis has options then clamping immediately the infant's pulsating lifeline. This is the disclaimer making
the individual and hospital boards personally accountable for what happens on their premises, or for
what a medical person does on
another premise:
-
"This Technical Bulletin was developed under the direction of the Committee on
Technical Bulletins of the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists as an educational aid to obstetricians and gynecologists. ...This
Technical Bulletin does NOT define
a standard of care, nor is it intended to dictate an exclusive course of management."
-
NOTE: This Policy #216 has been withdrawn since FEBRUARY 2002. Very quietly retired.
-
NOTE: Canada's SOGC Policy #89, May 2000,
still directs "all" Canadian babies have immediate cord clamping
. How Come!?
