Re: epidural and foodFrom: dmecnm@aol.comThu Sep 14 01:12:56 2006
No, our anesthesiologists will put an epidural in anyone who requests one, regardless of when the patient last ate.

I can see once they get the epidural no solid food etc. I still am not confident that not feeding a woman through 18 to 36 hours of labor other than clear liquids and IV D5 LR makes a lot of sense and is good for her overall well being. I do not think there is any literature to support this approach??!!?? andrew Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii"

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.
