All Hell broke loose is the repetative lates, slow return to baseline...essentially nothing reassuring at all in the tracing. We kept her from watching though.

Objection is probably that even though she is an L&D nurse she really had wanted a midwifery center 'home birth' and possible water birth. She just knew pitocin was more uncomfortable.

I monitored her during the breast pump, but other than that you can't control it that I know of. We did 30 minutes, 15 min rest, 15 on, 15 off etc for 2 hours.

I had this exact scenario with a labor nurse pt not too long ago. Only points were for AFI. Sent to L&D and tracing was reactive on admission (hadn't been in the office). Pt had labor stimulated (didn't necessarily want pit so we used the breast pumps) and she managed to progress to 8cm before all hell broke loose on the strip and then at section Apgars were 8/9. Cord ph was 7.2. Go figure.

********************************************* Hey Glen, three questions:

--
1) what category is "all hell broke loose" ? 2) What was the patient's objection to pitocin? and 3)  how would you control hyperstimulation secondary to a breast pump?

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.
