700 deliveries per month and no 24/7 anesthesia coverage smells a lot of trouble- I would demand in house anesthesia ASAP --IMHO

I work in a level 1 hospital in Northern CA, 700 deliveries per month. We do not have 24/7 in-house anesthesia, but they do provide excellent service and will come when called. ~45% of our deliveries used epidurals over the past year.

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.
