Re: Pitocin and epiduralFrom: RModugno@aol.comTue May 31 16:09:39 2005
In a message dated 5/31/2005 4:48:07 PM Eastern Standard Time, ainsron@sbcglobal.net writes: What I want to know is the list member’s opinion on this question: Is there EBM that supports my anesthesiologist’s assertion that standard of care in 2005 is that pitocin should be turned off before he can start an epidural and for 30 minutes after the epidural has setup? Hmmm, at our hospital where everyone is on pitocin and virtually everyone gets an epidural we have no such 'rule' but, we seem to have a heck of a lot of fetal heart rate abnormalities round about the time of epidural insertion. By golly, the anesthesiologist might have something! I wouldn't discount information from their meetings as anecdotal - but getting some EBM would be good! I'll ask our anesthesiologists.

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.
