Think about it from the woman's perspective. If she wants an epidural because the pitocin, or syntocinon as we have here in the uk, is making her contract so strongly she needs and wants an epidural then turning it off is the kindess thing for her. Also with it switched off she might be better able to keep still when not contracting so strongly for the epi to be sited.

Give the woman the choice after all it's her decision, isn't it? And whose waste of time are we talking about here?

By the way, what does an anaesthetist know about obstetrics?

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.
