Re: epidural and foodFrom: Andrew Folley (agfolley@hotmail.com)Wed Sep 13 08:22:56 2006
All of a sudden our anesthesiologists are becoming very strict about not providing and epidural to our laboring patients if they have eaten any solid foods in the preceding 8 hours. Their argument is fear of a high epidural and aspiration etc. Is this a common practice across the country??? Are most or our OB-gyns and midwives keeping patients on clear liquids only in labor??

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.
