Once an epidural is placed, they stay in house for the duration of the labor. That has been the way at both of the Level 1 hospitals I've been at. Glen //SIGNED// D.

I have a quick question. A hospital that is in my area doesn't do epidurals, as they have no 24/7 anesthesia in-house coverage. I never heard of this before. I have worked in 6 or 7 small community hospitals that also have no anesthesia in house, but they have done epidurals for as long as I have been in Calif. (that'll be 26 years this month) . We've paged the anesthesia doc for any upping the dose, etc. without problems. I would like to know what you do at your facility(Level 1's please) Gail Neuman RNC CPHW SNP student nurse practitioner and student midwife Perinatal education Perinatal Nurse Associates Santa Ana, CA Next message: Elrod, Darryl G Maj 48 MDOS/SGOBO: "Re: Pelvic exams" Previous message: R.

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.
