If I need a spinal or intrathecal when the patient is complete, I do it myself "Elrod, Darryl G Maj 48 MDOS/SGOBO" <Darryl.elrod@LAKENHEATH.AF.MIL> wrote: v\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w\:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#default#VML);} st1\:*{behavior:url(#default#ieooui) } But will they put in an epidural (or intrathecal) at any point during labor? I had a CRNA recently tell me that he didn’t feel comfortable putting in intrathecals in the two women that I had that had both gone from 2 to complete in just under 4 hours. Both pt’s first request for pain meds was at complete. He simply refused to even see them to see if they would be a good candidate for an intrathecal. Is anyone having difficulty on either side, meaning early epidurals (2-3cm) or late (8-complete)? Glen //SIGNED// D.

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 --------------------------------- Check out the new AOL.

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.
